Announcing the ODK Aggregate VM!

In case anybody benefits from this.

I experienced the "Network did not assign this VM an IP" issue and resolved
it by logging into the VM as root and resetting the network interfaces like
this:

rm /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

In my case the issue was that eth0 was somehow assigned as eth2 (you can
check this with ip link ). Removing the rules with the command above and
rebooting fixed that.

No problems converting the VirtualBox VM as a Parallels VM (simply open the
VM in Parallels to start the conversion).

Cheers,
Martijn

The ODK Survey public alpha uses exactly the same APIs as ODK Collect, so,
yes, 1.2 and 1.3 servers, and the VM all work. That said, ODK Survey
requires the files laid out and structured as they are in the
https://opendatakit-2.appspot.com instance.

I don't know what ODK Survey does if you download an ODK Collect form. It
hopefully discards it without crashing...

Hi Avadhani,

Glad the VM is working for you!

Connecting to the database goes beyond the use-case we are targeting
for our initial release, but until we provide an easier way, you can
treat the VM like any ordinary server. It's Tomcat backed with MySQL,
so use the login information provided in the readme.txt to login and
query the database. Alternatively, you can dump the form data using
ODK Briefcase.

We will try to include some more documentation for advanced use-cases
in the next release.

Hi and thank you all for this information.
Sorry about the late reply but I have been distracted by some projects and
didn't get back to this right away.
I used the information you provided and now it works! (Duh... I should have
checked this myself.)
I can log into Mirth and add a channel using Database Reader, MySQL
and jdbc:mysql://localhost/aggregate for the URL. This gives me access to
the ODK Aggregate tables to create a channel.

Now that I have this working, I have a VM which includes your ODK Aggregate
and also Mirth Connect running.
I'd be happy to share this with anyone who is interested. Unfortunately
the VM .ova file has grown to 830MB and zipping it doesn't help much. I'll
put it together with some notes on what I have done to create it and put it
up for sharing.

Thanks again for all of your help.

Generally, you want to use localhost in the jdbc setup, as the IP address
192.168.0.43 is dynamically allocated and is therefore brittle.
Note that users other than root must be granted access to databases. You
are perhaps missing that grant?

Mark,

The database is called 'aggregate'. To confirm this, log into the VM's
command line with the credentials in the readme. Then login using
'mysql -u root -p' and run 'show databases' to get a list of
databases.

I'm also pretty sure MySQL doesn't allow connections outside of
localhost so you might have to configure your mysql user to allow
those connections (less secure) or connect over SSH (more secure).

Thanks so much for putting this together.
I've installed the VM and am running it.
I wanted to use Mirth along with ODK so I installed Mirth (and Java6)
in the
VM also.
I can get both ODK Aggregate and Mirth to run but I'm having problems
setting up a channel in Mirth.
I am following the instructions here:
http://code.google.com/p/crossriver-openhds/wiki/CreateMirthChannel
But, I can't connect to the database...
I have used both jdbc:mysql://localhost/odk_prod and
jdbc:mysql://192.168.0.43/odk_prod as the URL for the database,
assuming
that the port is the standard 3306 for ODK MySQL... is this correct?
Once (if) I get this working, I'll send you the new VM.

Hi Martijn,

I'm experiencing a similar issue of "Network did not assign this VM an IP".
I followed the steps in the README file but switching to NAT and port
forwarding to 80 didn't seem to work for me and perhaps what you did might.

I'm wondering if you wouldn't mind breaking down how you resolved it in a
few more steps? I.e. how to log into the VM as root via command line and
any additional steps you took.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Andrew,

I'm not an expert but, this is a good resource:

Once you reach the command line and type: "ip link" to show the network
interfaces. If you don't see eth0 listed, then you're probably experiencing
the same issue I had. This can be resolved by resetting the network
interfaces (i.e. removing a file so that it will be rebuilt upon next
boot): "rm /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules".

After that: "reboot".

Martijn

Thanks for your quick response Martijn!

I'm still having some trouble accessing the command line where I'm suppose
to log in with root/aggregate.So far, I've been only able to get to Virtual
Box on the command line. Did you access the vm through "vboxmanage" or am I
going down the wrong path? If anyone can help walk me through the steps of
getting to the root/aggregate login would be greatly appreciated. Then I
assume after that I can enter "ip link" to pull up the network interfaces.

Hi Andrew,

You can login inside the virtual machine after it has finished booting
(takes a long time if you have the network issue). You'll see a screen like
this.

Hi Martijn,

Wow, that was simple. Thanks again for your help and patience.

I've got the VM up and running. This is going to work wonders with ODK Scan
since using it with ODK Aggregate on the app engine eats up the read and
write operations pretty quickly.
