#7435 Koji stage fails with "HTTPError: HTTP Error 503: Backend fetch failed"
Closed: Fixed 5 years ago by mizdebsk. Opened 5 years ago by mprahl.

  • Describe what you need us to do:

It seems to be hit or miss when my build fails with the following traceback:

Here is an example of such a build:

  • When do you need this? (YYYY/MM/DD)

No specific date, but it helps my testing of MBS in stage before deploying to production.

  • When is this no longer needed or useful? (YYYY/MM/DD)

N/A

  • If we cannot complete your request, what is the impact?

I cannot test MBS in stage.

Thanks for confirmation. Since the underlying issue is not yet fixed, I will reopen the ticket. I will update the ticket with more details later.

In November 2018 I set up Varnish on buildvm-s390x-01.stg, primarily to better match production setup and to test Varnish deployment on Fedora 29, but also to possibly reduce inter-site traffic between BOS and PHX2.

Currently Varnish on buildvm-s390x-01.stg in BOS is configured to use koji01.stg.phx2 as backend. This does not work as RHIT firewall seems to be blocking inter-site traffic from varnish to its backend and leads to "Error 503: Backend fetch failed".

My proposed solution is to request RHIT to allow TCP connections from 10.16.0.25 (buildvm-s390x-01.stg.s390.fedoraproject.org) to 10.5.128.139 (koji01.stg.phx2.fedoraproject.org) on port 80.

Alternative solutions:

  • make Varnish use proxy01.stg as backend; since proxies are HTTPS-only (all plain HTTP requests are redirected to HTTPS) and Varnish can't use TLS, this would require some additional changes, eg:
    • make proxy01.stg stop redirecting kojipkgs to https, at least for internal connections
    • introduce yet another proxy (eg. httpd running on buildvm-s390x-01.stg) to which Varnish could talk over plain HTTP and which would connect to proxy01.stg using TLS
  • revert Varnish enablement

Just to clarify because this will cause confusion in IT if listed this way.. 10.16.0 is NOT in RDU2. It is in BOS. The 'route' between PHX2 and BOS is different from PHX2 and RDU and requires more fixes.

@smooge Of course you are right, I'll edit my comment.

@smooge @mizdebsk has a RHIT ticket been filed on this yet?

I thought mizdebsk had one opened so I didn't.

@kevin No, I did not open RHIT ticket. Last time I did that they didn't like "developer requesting firewall changes".

You are right.. I should have seen that earlier. I have initiated the ticket and contacted Red Hat IT for it.

Firewall ports should be open now.
