Migrating from bitbucket

This repository used to live on bitbucket. If you have an old clone of the repository from bitbucket, you can migrate to this new version here by executing from within your copy:

git remote set-url --add origin git@github.com:chime-experiment/alpenhorn.git
git remote set-url --delete origin git@bitbucket.org:chime/alpenhorn.git

(Re-)Installing on tubular and jingle

After making changes to alpenhorn, a CHIME administrator will have to re-install this package on the production servers using ch_ansible. To re-install only the alpenhorn-specific hosts, you can run:

ansible-playbook -K --limit=alpenhorn -i ../production.yaml playbook.yaml

from the plays/ subdirectory of ch_ansible.

If you want to restart alpenhornd after updating, use this instead:

ansible-playbook -K --limit=alpenhorn -e restart_alpenhorn=true -i ../production.yaml playbook.yaml
