You can spin up an instance of daisy (lp:daisy), the Ubuntu error tracker database, for development and debugging.

Note: this does not yet provide retracing or a local copy of http://errors.ubuntu.com

First, install and configure juju. Then run the following commands:

mkdir -p ~/bzr/precise/daisy
bzr branch lp:~ev/charms/precise/daisy/trunk ~/bzr/precise/daisy
juju deploy rabbitmq-server
juju deploy cassandra
juju deploy -u --repository ~/bzr local:daisy
juju add-relation rabbitmq-server daisy
juju add-relation daisy:db cassandra:database
juju status 2>/dev/null

None of the relations or nodes should be in the failure state. Get the IP address of the daisy server and start watching the apache error log:

juju ssh daisy/0
tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log -f /var/log/apache2/access.log

Set up an SSH tunnel to your daisy server, then point whoopsie at it:

sudo stop whoospie
ssh -N -L 8080:$IP_ADDRESS_OF_DAISY:80 $IP_ADDRESS_OF_DAISY
sudo CRASH_DB_URL=http://localhost:8080 whoopsie -f

Create a crash report:

evince &; PID="$\\!"; sleep 3; kill -SEGV $PID

Apport should launch automatically. Make sure the "report this problem" box is checked, then press continue. A 0-byte .upload file should be created in /var/crash, your terminal window running whoopsie should show it uploading to the daisy server, and the apache logs should output the results. To see if the crash was completely processed into the database, run the following commands:

juju ssh cassandra/0
cassandra-cli
connect localhost/9160;
use crashdb;
list OOPS;
