So it seems this is possible with haproxy though its fiddly/brittle: # Adjust the timeout to your needs defaults timeout client 30s timeout server 30s timeout connect 5s log stdout format raw local0 # Single VIP frontend ft_ssl_vip bind *:8088 mode tcp tcp-request inspect-delay 5s tcp-request content accept if { req_ssl_hello_type 1 } default_backend bk_ssl_default # Using SNI to take routing decision backend bk_ssl_default mode tcp # replace plastic.example.com with desired hostname acl application_1 req_ssl_sni -i plastic.example.com use-server server1 if application_1 option ssl-hello-chk # replace XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX with internal ip server server1 XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:8088 check

Has anyone been able / knows if its possible to put a reverse proxy in front of Plastic SCM and direct to the proper servers based off hostname/SNI? E.g. A DNS record for *.plastic.example.com directs you to a static IP address where a reverse proxy is served. ssl://repo-1.plastic.example.com:8088 -> ssl://repo-1:8088 (internal) ssl://repo-2.plastic.example.com:8088 -> ssl://repo-2:8088 (internal) I believe the ssl connection contains a Server Name Indicator (SNI) so I think it should be possible?

Good idea! I'll try that thanks.

Hmm, I think that error might be coming as I am running in a temporary Kubernetes pod which is essentially a 'docker run' based on this. Is there a way to install with apt and prevent any systemd integration? Thanks, Alex

I'm deploying on Kubernetes with Helm so looking for something repeatable through code that will pull down the latest Plastic and latest Google Cloud Logging libraries. Sorry I've confused things, I meant to say I have been using server core and will try net core instead. However I am not able to install it using the ubuntu:18.04 image (These are pretty much the commands from install documentation minus some sudo as it is not installed and this is running as root). The following works: apt-get update ; \ apt-get install -y apt-transport-https wget gnupg ; \ echo "deb https://www.plasticscm.com/plasticrepo/stable/ubuntu/ ./" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/plasticscm-stable.list ; \ wget https://www.plasticscm.com/plasticrepo/stable/ubuntu/Release.key -O - | apt-key add - ; \ apt-get update ; \ apt-get install -y plasticscm-complete But the following does not: apt-get update ; \ apt-get install -y apt-transport-https wget gnupg ; \ echo "deb https://www.plasticscm.com/plasticrepo/stable/ubuntu/ ./" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/plasticscm-stable.list ; \ wget https://www.plasticscm.com/plasticrepo/stable/ubuntu/Release.key -O - | apt-key add - ; \ apt-get update ; \ apt-get install -y plasticscm-server-netcore The relevant part of the log for the error is: (should I report this rather than just posting this here?

Thanks, Alex

Hey, I forgot to make clear that I'm deploying this on Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS, I'll try the server core version. I was using the standard version and copying the DLLs from Windows which seemed pretty flaky to begin with. The following will install the dotnet core and the required libraries: apt update apt install -y wget wget https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/18.04/packages-microsoft-prod.deb -O packages-microsoft-prod.deb dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb add-apt-repository universe apt update apt install -y apt-transport-https apt update apt install -y dotnet-sdk-3.1 dotnet new console --output GoogleCloudLogging dotnet add GoogleCloudLogging package Google.Cloud.Logging.Log4Net --version 3.1.0 The packages end up in ~/.nuget/packages and don't match Windows conventions (lower case and no suffix), do you think they would be picked up automatically from that directory or will I need to copy them to the server directory? Do you happen to know the log4net version I should match? I'll try some things out now.

Hi there, I'm wondering if its possible to use Google Cloud Logging with log4net? Based on this I setup my loader.log.conf like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <log4net> <appender name="ConsoleAppender" type="log4net.Appender.ConsoleAppender"> <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout"> <conversionPattern value="%message%newline" /> </layout> </appender> <appender name="FileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender"> <file value="loader.log.txt" /> <appendToFile value="true" /> <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout"> <conversionPattern value="%message%newline" /> </layout> </appender> <appender name="CloudLogger" type="Google.Cloud.Logging.Log4Net.GoogleStackdriverAppender,Google.Cloud.Logging.Log4Net"> <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout"> <conversionPattern value="%-4timestamp [%thread] %-5level %logger %ndc - %message" /> </layout> <logId value="plastiscm" /> </appender> <root> <level value="INFO"/> <appender-ref ref="ConsoleAppender" /> <appender-ref ref="FileAppender" /> <appender-ref ref="CloudLogger" /> </root> </log4net> But I see the following error: log4net:ERROR Could not create Appender [CloudLogger] of type [Google.Cloud.Logging.Log4Net.GoogleStackdriverAppender,Google.Cloud.Logging.Log4Net].

Hey Carlos, I'm using the console as I am deploying Plastic on Kubernetes and defining the configuration in YAML. I don't think that is strictly true, the server starts fine without a license and will connect to LDAP if configured through Web Admin but the clconfigureserver tool doesn't allow you to set LDAP settings without a license it seems. Obviously for a production server I would install the license properly but currently I am just doing deployment tests. Looks like that could be a solution (if I am to assume I can still use LDAP on unlicensed testing server). Do you know if the result of "cm crypt" is consistent across different installs? Thanks, Alex

Strange, it seems like I can set up LDAP without a license file through the webadmin but doesn't seem like I can do it through clconfigureserver. Is this intended?

Hi there, I'm deploying plastic automatically through helm scripts which has been fine but now I need to automatically configure LDAP. I can put the server.conf into a configmap/secret which is fine but I'm not sure how I can pass in the encrypted password. Is it publicly known how to encrypt the password? Or failing that, can LDAP be setup through command line tools rather than just the web admin page. Thank you, Alex
