Getting Started
===============
Pre-requisites
--------------
* tox
To install tox run::
$ [sudo] apt-get install tox
* PostgreSQL
Deckhand only supports PostgreSQL. Install it by running::
$ [sudo] apt-get update
$ [sudo] apt-get install postgresql postgresql-contrib
Quickstart
----------
SQLite
^^^^^^
The guide below provides details on how to run Deckhand quickly using
SQLite.
`Docker`_ can be used to quickly instantiate the Deckhand image. After
installing `Docker`_, create a basic configuration file::
$ tox -e genconfig
Resulting deckhand.conf.sample file is output to
:path:etc/deckhand/deckhand.conf.sample
Move the sample configuration file into a desired directory
(i.e. ``$CONF_DIR``).
Set the database string in the configuration file to ``sqlite://``
.. code-block:: ini
[database]
#
# From oslo.db
#
# The SQLAlchemy connection string to use to connect to the database.
# (string value)
connection = sqlite://
Finally, run Deckhand via Docker::
$ [sudo] docker run --rm \
--net=host \
-p 9000:9000 \
-v $CONF_DIR:/etc/deckhand \
quay.io/airshipit/deckhand:latest-ubuntu_xenial
PostgreSQL
^^^^^^^^^^
The guide below provides details on how to run Deckhand quickly using
PostgreSQL.
`Docker`_ can be used to quickly instantiate the Deckhand image. After
installing `Docker`_, create a basic configuration file::
$ tox -e genconfig
Resulting deckhand.conf.sample file is output to
:path:etc/deckhand/deckhand.conf.sample
Move the sample configuration file into a desired directory
(i.e. ``$CONF_DIR``).
At a minimum the ``[database].connection`` config option must be set.
Provide it with a PostgreSQL database connection. Or to conveniently create an
ephemeral PostgreSQL DB run::
$ eval `pifpaf run postgresql`
Substitute the connection information (which can be retrieved by running
``export | grep PIFPAF_POSTGRESQL_URL``) into the config file inside
``etc/deckhand/deckhand.conf.sample``::
[database]
#
# From oslo.db
#
# The SQLAlchemy connection string to use to connect to the database.
# (string value)
connection = postgresql://localhost/postgres?host=/tmp/tmpsg6tn3l9&port=9824
Run an update to the Database to bring it to the current code level::
$ [sudo] docker run --rm \
--net=host \
-v $CONF_DIR:/etc/deckhand \
quay.io/airshipit/deckhand:latest-ubuntu_xenial\
alembic upgrade head
Finally, run Deckhand via Docker::
$ [sudo] docker run --rm \
--net=host \
-p 9000:9000 \
-v $CONF_DIR:/etc/deckhand \
quay.io/airshipit/deckhand:latest-ubuntu_xenial
To kill the ephemeral DB afterward::
$ pifpaf_stop

Manual Installation
-------------------
.. note::
The commands below assume that they are being executed from the root
Deckhand directory.
Install dependencies needed to spin up Deckhand via ``uwsgi``::
$ [sudo] pip install uwsgi
$ virtualenv -p python3 /var/tmp/deckhand
$ . /var/tmp/deckhand/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt -r test-requirements.txt
$ python setup.py install
Afterward, create a sample configuration file automatically::
$ tox -e genconfig
Resulting deckhand.conf.sample file is output to
:path:etc/deckhand/deckhand.conf.sample
Create the directory ``/etc/deckhand`` and copy the config file there::
$ [sudo] cp etc/deckhand/deckhand.conf.sample /etc/deckhand/deckhand.conf
To specify an alternative directory for the config file, run::
$ export DECKHAND_CONFIG_DIR=<PATH>
$ [sudo] cp etc/deckhand/deckhand.conf.sample ${DECKHAND_CONFIG_DIR}/deckhand.conf
To conveniently create an ephemeral PostgreSQL DB run::
$ eval `pifpaf run postgresql`
Retrieve the environment variable which contains connection information::
$ export | grep PIFPAF_POSTGRESQL_URL
declare -x PIFPAF_POSTGRESQL_URL="postgresql://localhost/postgres?host=/tmp/tmpsg6tn3l9&port=9824"
Substitute the connection information into the config file in
``${DECKHAND_CONFIG_DIR}``::
[database]
#
# From oslo.db
#
# The SQLAlchemy connection string to use to connect to the database.
# (string value)
connection = postgresql://localhost/postgres?host=/tmp/tmpsg6tn3l9&port=9824
Finally, run Deckhand::
# Perform DB migrations
$ ./entrypoint.sh alembic upgrade head
# Instantiate the Deckhand server
$ ./entrypoint.sh server
To kill the ephemeral DB afterward::
$ pifpaf_stop
Development Mode
----------------
Development mode means running Deckhand without Keystone authentication.
Note that enabling development mode will effectively disable all authN
and authZ in Deckhand.
To enable development mode, add the following to the ``deckhand.conf``
inside ``$CONF_DIR``:
.. code-block:: ini
[DEFAULT]
development_mode = True
After, from the command line, execute:
.. code-block:: console
$ [sudo] docker run --rm \
--net=host \
-p 9000:9000 \
-v $CONF_DIR:/etc/deckhand \
quay.io/airshipit/deckhand:latest-ubuntu_xenial server
.. _development-utilities:
Development Utilities
---------------------
Deckhand comes equipped with many utilities useful for developers, such as
unit test or linting jobs.
Many of these commands require that ``tox`` be installed. To do so, run::
$ pip3 install tox
To run the Python linter, execute::
$ tox -e pep8
To run unit tests, execute::
$ tox -e py35
To run the test coverage job::
$ tox -e coverage
To run security checks via `Bandit`_ execute::
$ tox -e bandit
To build all Deckhand charts, execute::
$ make charts
To generate sample configuration and policy files needed for Deckhand
deployment, execute (respectively)::
$ tox -e genconfig
$ tox -e genpolicy
.. _Bandit: https://github.com/openstack/bandit
For additional commands, reference the ``tox.ini`` file for a list of all
the jobs.
Database Model Updates
----------------------
Deckhand utilizes `Alembic`_ to handle database setup and upgrades. Alembic
provides a straightforward way to manage the migrations necessary from one
database structure version to another through the use of scripts found in
deckhand/alembic/versions.
Setting up a migration can be automatic or manual. The `Alembic`_ documentation
provides instructions for how to create a new migration.
Creating automatic migrations requires that the Deckhand database model is
updated in the source code first. With that database model in the code, and
pointing to an existing Deckhand database structure, Alembic can produce the
steps necessary to move from the current version to the next version.
One way of creating an automatic migration is to deploy a development Deckhand
database using the pre-updated data model and following the following steps::
Navigate to the root Deckhand directory
$ export DH_ROOT=$(pwd)
$ mkdir ${DH_ROOT}/alembic_tmp
Create a deckhand.conf file that will have the correct DB connection string.
$ tox -e genconfig
$ cp ${DH_ROOT}/etc/deckhand/deckhand.conf.sample ${DH_ROOT}/alembic_tmp/deckhand.conf
Update the connection string to the deckhand db instance e.g.::
[Database]
connection = postgresql+psycopg2://deckhand:password@postgresql.airship.svc.cluster.local:5432/deckhand
$ export DECKHAND_CONFIG_DIR=${DH_ROOT}/alembic_tmp
$ alembic revision --autogenerate -m "The short description for this change"
$ rm -r ${DH_ROOT}/alembic_tmp
This will create a new .py file in the deckhand/alembic/versions directory that
can then be modified to indicate exact steps. The generated migration should
always be inspected to ensure correctness.
Migrations exist in a linked list of files (the files in versions). Each file
is updated by Alembic to reference its revision linkage. E.g.::
# revision identifiers, used by Alembic.
revision = '918bbfd28185'
down_revision = None
branch_labels = None
depends_on = None
Any manual changes to this linkage must be approached carefully or Alembic will
fail to operate.

Troubleshooting
---------------
The error messages are included in bullets below and tips to resolution are
included beneath each bullet.
* "FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/etc/deckhand/api-paste.ini'"
Reason: this means that Deckhand is trying to instantiate the server but
failing to do so because it can't find an essential configuration file.
Solution::
$ cp etc/deckhand/deckhand.conf.sample /etc/deckhand/deckhand.conf
This copies the sample Deckhand configuration file to the appropriate
directory.
* For any errors related to ``tox``:
Ensure that ``tox`` is installed::
$ [sudo] apt-get install tox -y
* For any errors related to running ``tox -e py35``:
Ensure that ``python3-dev`` is installed::
$ [sudo] apt-get install python3-dev -y
* For any errors related to running ``tox -e py27``:
Ensure that ``python3-dev`` is installed::
$ [sudo] apt-get install python-dev -y
