Although this is an independent study, at times I worked with Dillon Murphy. For the most part we worked on separate tasks, but there were a few we worked together on.
We did work together on all of the virtual server installs, also working with Dr. Wurst. Dillon and I were pretty familiar with server installs, but since the new CS server was being used for the Wiki (which I was focusing on), and the blogs (which Dillon focused on), it made sense to plan out and figure out what we needed. As I said in a previous post, MediaWiki relied on an Apache/PHP/MySQL setup, and luckily for Dillon Wordpress relied on that as well.
During our individual projects, we would shoot ideas off of each other if we ran into issues. For example, for moving over Wordpress, Dillon wasn't too sure how to approach it but since I was familiar with PHP/MySQL applications I suggested that it was likely all he really needed to do was dump the database and restore it on the new server and then move over the code. There were a few issues with configuration files pointing to old URLs, but other than that everything worked out.
We worked together on getting the new CS server up, which worked out thanks to some guesswork and brainstorming to figure out the best way to do it.
Getting the cluster with fresh installs of CentOS was another collaborative effort seeing as we planned to use them for our next projects, Dillon focusing on Hadoop and myself focusing on Eucalyptus. We had a few ideas on how to utilize the cluster for both platforms. One suggestion involved installing a virtual machine hypervisor on each machine and having two Virtual Machines on each, one for Hadoop and one for Eucalyptus. Another suggestion was splitting the machines between each project. The suggestion we went with, after Dillon said it looked like it would work out, was having one CentOS install on each machine and installing both on each machine.
Once we figured out what we wanted to do with the network and resolved the issues with it, Dillon focused on getting the servers up. We finally got that up and running, so next is focusing on the final solo projects.
While Dillon focused on that and a bit before, I focused on getting GitLab working to usable conditions. Dillon and Dr. Wurst helped test and ensure that everything was working as it should.
It's really helpful to work in a team, even if each member is focusing on a separate individual project. Being able to bounce ideas off of each other and resolve things more quickly. Working on your own can be productive for its own reasons, but it never hurts to have a helping hand available.
