Data Science stack server

This set of "bootstrap" scripts are designed to automatically install (on a raw, naked server) the necessary stack (set of services) necessary for a Data Scientist to work (or at least me !)

Details of the stack :

All the IDE are cloud-based. This stack is :

  • Some basics Unix tool & helpers
  • Nginx
  • Jupyterhub, Anaconda and Python 3
  • R and R Studio
  • Spark
  • Shell-in-a-box, a cloud-based Terminal server
  • Codiad and gc++ compiler for C++ development (to be used for the most adventurous of us !) Even if it looks like install.sh can do all the work alone, I recommend to follow the scripts step by step.

Compatibility :

Infrastructure :

  • Works on On-premise bareservers, VM & VPS (for 👨‍💻 Perso server, for example)
  • Works on AWS for EC2 or EMR clusters (🔶 AWS EC2 for example)
  • Works on GCP Compute Engine VMs (🌀 GCP VertexAI VM for example)

Note: I used these scripts to configure my "Luke" Personal Server

OS :

Any common Linux distro : 🔵 Debian, 🟢 Ubuntu, 🔴 CentOS, 🟡 RHEL ...

Detailled usage :

0. (Optional) Create VM

#### AWS EC2

  • OS: Debian, for example
  • Instance type: one that supports Console, so m6a.large, for example
  • keypair : choose same keypair for the region
  • Allow HTTPS & HTTP traffic
  • Advanced details -> User data :
#!/bin/bash -xe

echo "####### START OF USER DATA #######"
sleep 10 # to make sure other "System log" are not overlapping with these logs...

# GENERAL INFOS
# whoami
# pwd
# ls -la
# cat /etc/*release
# ls -la /etc/

# SSH CONFIG
# cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config
service sshd status
echo 'Port 443' >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config
# echo 'PasswordAuthentication yes' >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config
tail /etc/ssh/sshd_config
service sshd restart
service sshd status

# ADDING ENRICES (METHOD 1)
which useradd
useradd -m -p '$6$4CdskT3jsbvLxHNB$f0wBALv2CyaG %%%% PLEASE REPLACE ME %%%% sCAyfVh3uul/' -s /bin/bash enrices
usermod -aG sudo enrices

# ADDING BACKDOOR (METHOD 2)
# Commenting these, because Method 1 works very well (and no password in clear text in the user data...)
# username=user_backdoor
# password= %%%%PLEASE REPLACE ME%%%%
# sudo adduser --gecos "" --disabled-password $username
# sudo chpasswd <<<"$username:$password"
# usermod -aG sudo $username

cat /etc/passwd

echo "####### END OF USER DATA #######"

1. Connect to the VM

  • SSH (example ssh -i ~/.ssh/jlescutmuller_rsa_passphrase.pem [email protected])
  • AWS EC2 Serial Console
  • ...

2. Install basic binaries & Clone this project

sudo su
cd # go to home

Installing base tools (Although only git is necessary at this stage)

🔵 Debian 🟢 Ubuntu

apt update && apt install -y git vim tree telnet wget

🔴 CentOS 🟡 RHEL

yum update && yum install -y git vim tree telnet wget
git clone https://github.com/JeanLescutMuller/DataScience_stack_server.git
cd ./DataScience_stack_server

3. Setting up .bashrc for users :

# For root :
chmod +x ./01_unix_helpers/root/usr/sbin/adduser2
chmod +x ./01_unix_helpers/root/usr/bin/configurebashrc
cp -R ./01_unix_helpers/root/* /
configurebashrc # root
# host_color=31 configurebashrc # for PROD environment (make hostname RED)
source ~/.bashrc

# For other users as well :
# add prefix host_color=31 for production environments
sudo -u enrices configurebashrc # 👨‍💻 Perso
sudo -u admin configurebashrc    # 🔶🔵 AWS EC2 Debian
# sudo -u centos configurebashrc # 🔶🔴 AWS EC2 CentOS
# sudo -u hadoop configurebashrc # 🔶🔶 AWS EMR
# sudo -u jupyter configurebashrc # 🌀 GCP VertexAI VM

4. (Optional) Dark theme for Jupyterlab in 🌀VertexAI :

Optional Code :
# Make the JupyterLab Theme dark (to have a black Shell background in the Terminals)
# Or maybe just do that manually ?
exit
source ~/.bashrc
mkdir -p  ~/.jupyter/lab/user-settings/@jupyterlab/apputils-extension
echo '{"theme": "JupyterLab Dark"}' > ~/.jupyter/lab/user-settings/@jupyterlab/apputils-extension/themes.jupyterlab-settings
  

5. (Optional) Mounting an EBS Volume to /data in 🔶AWS EC2 :

More infos :
   mkfs -t xfs /dev/nvme1n1
   yum update -y && yum upgrade -y && yum install -y xfsprogs
   mkdir /data
   mount /dev/nvme1n1 /data
   

6. (Optional) Adding users :

export home_dir='/data' # 🔶AWS EC2 with EBS volume mounted
export home_dir='/home' # default

./02_ssh_access/main.sh
# adduser2 pass these arguments to adduser. on CentOS, adduser can take "-p" argument to take the encrypted password.
# On such system (not on Debian-based), "man adduser" will give more information : using "crypt" to retrieve this code from clear/plain password
adduser2 jlescutmuller -d $home_dir/jlescutmuller -G wheel -p '$6$DKFej1xka8DYxrhi$HnlSzi4 ...... QGkHFpVK34zam2K8fFWbFu2AYvtLokqEJQtBxnWS8Mn9l71O1'
# adduser2 user2 -d $home_dir/user2 -G wheel -p '...' etc...

7. Installing Nginx :

# 🔴 CentOS :
cp $ROOT/root/etc/yum.repos.d/nginx.repo.centos /etc/yum.repos.d/nginx.repo
yum install -y nginx

# 🟡 RHEL :
cp $ROOT/root/etc/yum.repos.d/nginx.repo.rhel /etc/yum.repos.d/nginx.repo
yum install -y nginx

# 🔵 Debian, 🟢 Ubuntu :
apt install -y nginx

systemctl enable nginx
service nginx status

If possible, go to [http://ip_of_the_vm:80] and check the page

Configuring Nginx :

🔵 Debian 11

  1. No need to modify /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
  2. vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/default :

a) If you want, you can duplicates those lines and replace 80 by 8080 to duplicate nginx ports

listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;

b) add the location folder :

include /etc/nginx/location.d/*.conf;

2b) Or automatic way :

sed -i $'/# Default server configuration/{e cat 03_nginx/root/etc/nginx/sites-available/default.addon1.conf\n}' /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
sed -i $'/# SSL configuration/{e cat 03_nginx/root/etc/nginx/sites-available/default.addon2.conf\n}' /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
  1. mkdir /etc/nginx/location.d
    nginx -t # Check configuration file
    service nginx restart
    service nginx status

🔴 CentOS 🟡 RHEL

Please see script

Generating Home Page :

cp -R ./03_nginx/root/var/www /var/
chmod +x /var/www/update_index.sh
/var/www/update_index.sh

If possible, go to [http://ip_of_the_vm:80] and check the page

Tip: AWS Console will always redirect you to HTTPS . You need to manually remove this S

8. Installing Anaconda

🔵 Debian 🟢 Ubuntu

apt install -y bzip2

🔴 CentOS 🟡 RHEL

yum install -y bzip2

🔶🔶 AWS EMR Cluster

export tempdir='/dev/shm'

Everything else

export tempdir='/tmp'
  • Go to https://repo.anaconda.com/archive and copy link of most recent installer.
  • Note : the default installation path is /root/anaconda3, but you cannot use a non-root-service if we choose this. On internet, /opt/anaconda3 is very popular, so keeping this instead.
url="https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/Anaconda3-2023.03-1-Linux-x86_64.sh" # Please update that 
wget $url -O $tempdir/Anaconda.sh
bash $tempdir/Anaconda.sh -b -p /opt/anaconda3 # Agreeing with License, installing to /opt/anaconda3
rm $tempdir/Anaconda.sh # To be clean (and the installer is big !)

Group for permissions :

groupadd anaconda_users
chown -R root:anaconda_users /opt/anaconda3
# Adding users to the group :
usermod -aG anaconda_users enrices
# ... etc...

9.1 (Option 1) Configuring Jupyter(lab) :

cp ./04_jupyterhub/root/opt/anaconda3/etc/jupyter/jupyter_lab_config.py /opt/anaconda3/etc/jupyter/

9.2 (Option 2) Installing & Configuring JupyterHub :

Please see scripts for installation...

cp ./04_jupyterhub/root/etc/jupyterhub /etc/

9.3 Test JupyterHub / JupyterLab directly without reverse proxy

For example, using port 80 :

service nginx stop

# Then choose 1 :
# /opt/anaconda3/bin/jupyter lab --port=80
# /opt/anaconda3/bin/jupyter lab -f /opt/anaconda3/etc/jupyter/jupyter_lab_config.py --port=80

# Go to the webpage of the server (HTTP, TCP 80) and check on /jupyter
# For example http://18.138.212.239/jupyter

⚠⚠⚠ You need to do this step to configure jupyter lab password Set up password (using token from terminal)

9.4 Setup Nginx reverse-proxy for JupyterHub / JupyterLab

/etc/nginx/sites-available/default :

  1. Adding connection_upgrade variable : Source : https://jupyterhub.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/config-proxy.html Before server {, add : (:set paste can help in vim)
# Top-level HTTP config for WebSocket headers
# If Upgrade is defined, Connection = upgrade
# If Upgrade is empty, Connection = close
map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {
    default upgrade;
    ''      close;
}
  1. Bugfix (not sure if it's still needed...) Inside server {, add :
        # Bugfix: 'Request Entity too large' while saving in Jupyterhub
        # Source 1: https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-unix-bsd-nginx-413-request-entity-too-large/
        # Source 2: https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/issues/4214
        client_max_body_size 100M;

add location.d :

cp ./04_jupyterhub/root/etc/nginx/location.d/jupyter.conf /etc/nginx/location.d/

Testing :

nginx -t # to test configuration
service nginx start
service nginx status

# choose :
/opt/anaconda3/bin/jupyter lab
/opt/anaconda3/bin/jupyter lab -f /opt/anaconda3/etc/jupyter/jupyter_lab_config.py

# go on website and check.
# go to /jupyter/ and check

Adding logo link on home page :

For example for Jupyterlab :

mkdir /var/www/html/html_links/
cp ./04_jupyterhub/root/var/www/html/html_links/jupyter.html /var/www/html/html_links/
mkdir /var/www/html/res/logos
cp ./04_jupyterhub/root/var/www/html/res/logos/jupyter.png /var/www/html/res/logos/
/var/www/update_index.sh

9.5 Setting up Jupyterhub/JupyterLab service :

Which service system is on the machine ? SystemV or SystemD ?

We always prefer SystemD, if possible. You can check if systemD is installed with :

ls /etc/systemd

SystemD :

# CHOOSE BETWEEN :
appname="jupyterlab"
# appname="jupyterhub"

cp ./04_jupyterhub/root/etc/systemd/system/$appname.service /etc/systemd/system/
service $appname start
service $appname status
systemctl enable $appname.service # to start on boot

Bonus :

Configure git :

exit # go back to your non-privileged account

# Configure GIT :
git config --global pull.rebase false
git config --global user.name "Jean Lescut-Muller"
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"

# Install Jupyterlab GIT Extension
sudo /opt/anaconda3/bin/pip install --upgrade jupyterlab jupyterlab-git
chown -R root:anaconda_users /opt/anaconda3/
sudo reboot

Change color and Server-label Jupyterlab :

# Please adapt the path to 1) the user and 2) the desired theme (dark or light) to be altered
# Choose 1 :
path='/home/enrices/.local/share/jupyter/lab/themes/@jupyterlab/theme-dark-extension/index.css'
path='/opt/anaconda3/share/jupyter/lab/themes/@jupyterlab/theme-dark-extension/index.css'

# server_name='Frankfurt-1'
# color_text='#b8b8ff'  # Light Purple
# color_border='#7b3dd2' # Purple

server_name='Frankfurt-2'
color_text='#7e9dff'   # Light Blue
color_border='#3151b8' # Blue

# server_name='Frankfurt-3'
# color_text='#23d9e6' # Flashy Cyan
# color_border='#3eafb7' # Paste Cyan

# server_name='Frankfurt-4'
# color_text='#33e232' # Flashy Green
# color_border='#3fb73e' # Pastel Green

sed -i "/--jp-layout-color3:/c\  --jp-layout-color3: $color_border;" $path
sed -i $'/:root/{e cat 04_jupyterhub/server_label.css\n}' $path

# Or just VIM at this point...
# sed -i "/--jp-layout-color3:/c\  --jp-layout-color1: $color;" $path
# sed -i "s/SERVER_NAME/$server_name/g" $path
