Introduce

The page aimed for server's infrastructure of OpenSCADA project represents, traces and manages.


From begins the OpenSCADA resources hosted on a main server of DIYA Ltd and the server's details and specific were not possible to publish. From 2015 year the OpenSCADA project had own a server and an internet channel thanks mostly to Beams&Plasmas funding. From 2016 year all resources of the project OpenSCADA were moved to the new server and domain name "oscada.org" was switched to it. For the domain name "oscada.org" and it's DNS uses the Hosting Ukraine, the configuration shown in Table 1.

1. Hardware and internet channel

The OpenSCADA server located now into a quarter of author of the OpenSCADA system it is Roman Savochenko. For link to the global network (Internet) used a service of Internet provider Kyivstar in Kamjanske city of Ukraine. The provider uses the conception of Fiber To The Building (FTTB) and the internet channel's bandwidth now it is 30Mbit/s. For temporary access (for dynamic IP) used domain name "oscada.dlikddns.com" which allowed yet and next there was registered a static IP 134.249.149.50 to which now connected the main domain "oscada.org". Hardware configuration of the server shown into Table 2:


Table 2: Hardware configuration of the OpenSCADA server.

Name Configuration Notes
CPU AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 900e purchased that as used instead the original Athlon 64 X2 (too weak) and the brand new A8-6500, TDP 65W
MB ASUS M2NPV-VM, Socket AM2 used as a hard tested and reliable solution, instead purchased specially the brand new MB MSI A88X-G41 PC Mate
Chipset NVIDIA GeForce 6150 + nForce 430 MCP
Memory 3GB (DDR2-800) original for the MB
HDD 1TB, RAID1 (ST1000VM002+WD10EZRX) brand new, low power consumption, heating about +8°C, through changing of 2xDT01ACA050
Power Supply Cooler Master 400W brand new
Case MidiTower, ATX used
UPS (in planes)

2. Program environment and services

In base of the program environment used OS Linux distributive Debian 7 (Wheezy). For external services isolation and some other purposes used the OpenVZ lightweight isolation into different Virtual Private Servers (VPS). Into mostly VPS also used Linux distributive Debian 7 (Wheezy), sometime used Debian 8 (Jessie) and ALTLinux T6. Hardware server (HS) it is x86_64 program environment but the VPSs mostly used x86 environment especially for high demanded tasks, as the result we have the memory consumption 1.2GB instead 2GB of even-functional x86_64 pure environment. The program environment structure shown in Figure 1.


OpenSCADA server's network and the program environment structure. (112 Kb)
Figure 1. OpenSCADA server's network and the program environment structure.

File system of the hardware server (HS) has not a swap partition and has two main mirrored partitions:
- "root (/)": 9.1GB
- "data (/data): 908GB


Besides only VPS containers management by OpenVZ the HS environment also has some services for the external and internal networks:


2.1 VPS: FTP

Address: ftp.oscada (192.168.0.10)
Service: exclusively provides a public file-service for OpenSCADA resources. To use the service go to ftp://ftp.oscada.org.
Base of the VPS: OS Linux distributive Debian 7 (Wheezy) x86, file server ProFTP.


The FTP has next partial tree with the descriptions:

2.2 VPS: DB

Address: db.oscada (192.168.0.11)
Service: exclusively provides different DBMS for internal and by VPSes using.
Base of the VPS: OS Linux distributive Debian 7 (Wheezy) x86, allowed next DBMS: MySQL, PostgreSQL, FireBird, OpenLDAP (slapd).


Table 2.2: Allowed DBMS and its using.

DBMS Using

CVS it is old-deprecated control versions system used up to year 2005 by the OpenSCADA project and some projects of firm DIYA Ltd of it's author Roman Savochenko. For now CVS provides only for the compatibility and supports only guest access: $ cvs -d:pserver:guest@oscada.org:/CVS_R co OpenScada


Subversion it is current control version system using now by the OpenSCADA project. Supported two managing and two display connections:

2.4 VPS: HTTP

Address: http.oscada (192.168.0.13)
Service: provides different HTTP-services which mostly based on Apache2 web-server.
Base of the VPS: OS Linux distributive Debian 7 (Wheezy) x86, Apache web-server.


Main configuration file of the virtual hosts placed into "/etc/apache2/sites-available/openscada.conf". EMail configured as simple relay (into file "/etc/postfix/main.cf") to the server's email server, into different VPS.

Migration DB commands:
Fixed bugs:

  • (2016-04-30) Mail encoding by "quoted-printable" mode some broken especial for header's sequence like "(à)", module "sr_feuser_register";
  • (2016-04-30) Module "mm_forum" some omit to encode by "quoted-printable" mode at all which causes to messages header like "XXXX", possible into class.tx_mmforum_havealook.php.
