Great, linking to publiclab/mapknitter#1191 as well!

Hi @tech4GT i hope you're well! We got the Ruby exporter online at https://stable.mapknitter.org today; docs here: https://publiclab.org/wiki/mapknitter-cloud-exporter

Next up will be connecting this one. I think SSL is still needed?

Hi @jywarren Long time! Actually my health has not been the best, past few months. Sorry for that. Could you point me to some docs about setting up https on google cloud? I've done it on aws quite a few times but I can't seem to find the docs for google cloud. Do they have something like certificateManager?

[jywarren]

Oh gosh i'm sorry to hear that. Please don't worry about this if it's any distraction!

My first inclination was to try https://34.74.118.242/api/v2/export/?url=http://mapknitter.org/maps/ceres--2/warpables.json&scale=30 but SSL on an IP address doesn't seem quite right: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2043617/is-it-possible-to-have-ssl-certificate-for-ip-address-not-domain-name#2043645

I guess we need to run it at https://exportjs.mapknitter.org or something.

One way to test this is to compare these two pages (say, swapping the export URL while running this locally, maybe?):

• http://publiclab.github.io/Leaflet.DistortableImage/examples/export
• https://publiclab.github.io/Leaflet.DistortableImage/examples/export

On looking closer i think this may be a question for @icarito -- I find this documentation on running SSL on a cluster in Google Cloud:

• https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tls/managing-tls-in-a-cluster/
• https://dgkanatsios.com/2017/07/07/using-ssl-for-a-service-hosted-on-a-kubernetes-cluster/
• possibly https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/managed-certs

I will ask @icarito if this sounds familiar.

Best wishes for your health and please don't worry about this unless you really want to. Sending ❤️ and glad to hear from you!!

Input from @icarito --

so here is what I did: https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/managed-certs
I think I edited the yaml files instead of creating new ones
here's the gist
"To configure a managed SSL certificate and associate it with an Ingress, you need to:

Create a ManagedCertificate object.
Associate the ManagedCertificate object to an Ingress by adding an annotation networking.gke.io/managed-certificates to the Ingress. This annotation is a comma-separated list of ManagedCertificate resources, cert1,cert2,cert3 for example.

The ManagedCertificate resource must be created in the same namespace as the Ingress."

Hi Jeff, thanks a lot for your wishes. I'll try my best to put in this work as soon as possible. I did go through this documentation but it looks like we would have to configure out exporter on a domain first, since to generate a certificate we need the domain that we'll be using. Anyway, would it be okay if we asked @icarito to help us on this since this uses a lot of stuff I'm not particularly familiar with. In any case I'll work my way through the documentation trying to make sense. 😊

[tech4GT]

I also found this article which documents the process pretty comprehensively! Also, could you please point me to our deployment on gcloud? Thanks!

[icarito]

Hi,
I'll look into this.
The current deployment can be found at http://34.74.118.242/

[icarito]

For now I've added a DNS entry at http://export-js.mapknitter.org/
I'll be working on get a managed certificate in the afternoon, to enable HTTPS.

[jywarren]

Awesome! Thanks @icarito!!

So testing would be at:

https://export-js.mapknitter.org/api/v2/export/?url=http://mapknitter.org/maps/ceres--2/warpables.json&scale=30

[tech4GT]

Thanks a lot for your help @icarito 😊

Today I removed all deployment / services / ingresses related to this in our cluster, then went step by step thru https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/managed-certs and still I get 502 server error from the external endpoint. I tried it without the ingress setup (just a load balancer) and it worked. Also the ingresses say backend services are UNHEALTHY whatever that means. I'll keep poking for solutions, sorry for the delay!

Hi @jywarren I was trying out the export on http://34.74.118.242/api/v2/export/?url=. It does not load though.. did we move the deployment?

[icarito]

Hi Varun, I believe you are looking for this address? <http://34.107.200.136/> It is erroring, let me know if you need me to look into it. Regards, Sebastian El jue, 4 de jun de 2020 a las 08:50, Varun Gupta <notifications@github.com> escribió:
