To deploy the content translation server on the beta cluster, we would need 'cxserver' user and groups added in LDAP to make sure the UID/GID are constant across instances. That is similar to l10nupdate (bug 62595) or parsoid (bug 63329).
Ping?
I'm looking in the production puppet manifests and I can't see where this user is defined there. Would you expect cxserver to exist in prod, or is there a reason we need it in beta but not prod?
See: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/139095/6/manifests/role/cxserver.pp (in review)
that... creates a user in labs but not in production, right? So my question remains.
Missed that. Just in Beta cluster as of now.
The user was created, right? Can this bug be closed now? Do we need to make any changes to the already existing cxserver user&group on deployment-cxserver01?
The cxserver user and groups have been created in labs LDAP with identifiers 10060. On deployment-cxserver01.eqiad.wmflabs I have manually deleted the local user and group and fixed up the file permissions (/data/project/cxserver and /var/lib/cxserver). Service restarted and seems to be running fine.
