Adds initial support for configuring and starting the tuskar-api service. To enable, add the following to your localrc: enable_service tuskar enable_service tuskar-api The aim of this addition is to provide a more accessible (non devtest) way for developers to run up tuskar in a familiar devstack environment. See the official repos for more information: https://github.com/openstack/tuskar/ https://github.com/openstack/python-tuskarclient Change-Id: Id0c3c0d3a38100c66dbe6e3adf1f715162f99742 |

DevStack is a set of scripts and utilities to quickly deploy an OpenStack cloud.
Goals
- To quickly build dev OpenStack environments in a clean Ubuntu or Fedora environment
- To describe working configurations of OpenStack (which code branches work together? what do config files look like for those branches?)
- To make it easier for developers to dive into OpenStack so that they can productively contribute without having to understand every part of the system at once
- To make it easy to prototype cross-project features
- To provide an environment for the OpenStack CI testing on every commit to the projects
Read more at http://devstack.org.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to carefully read stack.sh
and any other scripts you
execute before you run them, as they install software and will alter your
networking configuration. We strongly recommend that you run stack.sh
in a clean and disposable vm when you are first getting started.
Versions
The DevStack master branch generally points to trunk versions of OpenStack components. For older, stable versions, look for branches named stable/[release] in the DevStack repo. For example, you can do the following to create a grizzly OpenStack cloud:
git checkout stable/grizzly
./stack.sh
You can also pick specific OpenStack project releases by setting the appropriate
*_BRANCH
variables in the localrc
section of local.conf
(look in
stackrc
for the default set). Usually just before a release there will be
milestone-proposed branches that need to be tested::
GLANCE_REPO=git://git.openstack.org/openstack/glance.git
GLANCE_BRANCH=milestone-proposed
Start A Dev Cloud
Installing in a dedicated disposable VM is safer than installing on your dev machine! Plus you can pick one of the supported Linux distros for your VM. To start a dev cloud run the following NOT AS ROOT (see DevStack Execution Environment below for more on user accounts):
./stack.sh
When the script finishes executing, you should be able to access OpenStack endpoints, like so:
- Horizon: http://myhost/
- Keystone: http://myhost:5000/v2.0/
We also provide an environment file that you can use to interact with your cloud via CLI:
# source openrc file to load your environment with OpenStack CLI creds
. openrc
# list instances
nova list
If the EC2 API is your cup-o-tea, you can create credentials and use euca2ools:
# source eucarc to generate EC2 credentials and set up the environment
. eucarc
# list instances using ec2 api
euca-describe-instances
DevStack Execution Environment
DevStack runs rampant over the system it runs on, installing things and uninstalling other things. Running this on a system you care about is a recipe for disappointment, or worse. Alas, we're all in the virtualization business here, so run it in a VM. And take advantage of the snapshot capabilities of your hypervisor of choice to reduce testing cycle times. You might even save enough time to write one more feature before the next feature freeze...
stack.sh
needs to have root access for a lot of tasks, but uses sudo
for all of those tasks. However, it needs to be not-root for most of its
work and for all of the OpenStack services. stack.sh
specifically
does not run if started as root.
This is a recent change (Oct 2013) from the previous behaviour of
automatically creating a stack
user. Automatically creating
user accounts is not the right response to running as root, so
that bit is now an explicit step using tools/create-stack-user.sh
.
Run that (as root!) or just check it out to see what DevStack's
expectations are for the account it runs under. Many people simply
use their usual login (the default 'ubuntu' login on a UEC image
for example).
Customizing
You can override environment variables used in stack.sh
by creating file
name local.conf
with a localrc
section as shown below. It is likely
that you will need to do this to tweak your networking configuration should
you need to access your cloud from a different host.
[[local|localrc]]
VARIABLE=value
See the Local Configuration section below for more details.
Database Backend
Multiple database backends are available. The available databases are defined
in the lib/databases directory.
mysql
is the default database, choose a different one by putting the
following in the localrc
section:
disable_service mysql
enable_service postgresql
mysql
is the default database.
RPC Backend
Multiple RPC backends are available. Currently, this
includes RabbitMQ (default), Qpid, and ZeroMQ. Your backend of
choice may be selected via the localrc
section.
Note that selecting more than one RPC backend will result in a failure.
Example (ZeroMQ):
ENABLED_SERVICES="$ENABLED_SERVICES,-rabbit,-qpid,zeromq"
Example (Qpid):
ENABLED_SERVICES="$ENABLED_SERVICES,-rabbit,-zeromq,qpid"
Apache Frontend
Apache web server can be enabled for wsgi services that support being deployed
under HTTPD + mod_wsgi. By default, services that recommend running under
HTTPD + mod_wsgi are deployed under Apache. To use an alternative deployment
strategy (e.g. eventlet) for services that support an alternative to HTTPD +
mod_wsgi set ENABLE_HTTPD_MOD_WSGI_SERVICES
to False
in your
local.conf
.
Each service that can be run under HTTPD + mod_wsgi also has an override
toggle available that can be set in your local.conf
.
Keystone is run under HTTPD + mod_wsgi by default.
Example (Keystone):
KEYSTONE_USE_MOD_WSGI="True"
Example (Swift):
SWIFT_USE_MOD_WSGI="True"
Swift
Swift is disabled by default. When enabled, it is configured with only one replica to avoid being IO/memory intensive on a small vm. When running with only one replica the account, container and object services will run directly in screen. The others services like replicator, updaters or auditor runs in background.
If you would like to enable Swift you can add this to your localrc
section:
enable_service s-proxy s-object s-container s-account
If you want a minimal Swift install with only Swift and Keystone you
can have this instead in your localrc
section:
disable_all_services
enable_service key mysql s-proxy s-object s-container s-account
If you only want to do some testing of a real normal swift cluster
with multiple replicas you can do so by customizing the variable
SWIFT_REPLICAS
in your localrc
section (usually to 3).
Swift S3
If you are enabling swift3
in ENABLED_SERVICES
DevStack will
install the swift3 middleware emulation. Swift will be configured to
act as a S3 endpoint for Keystone so effectively replacing the
nova-objectstore
.
Only Swift proxy server is launched in the screen session all other
services are started in background and managed by swift-init
tool.
Neutron
Basic Setup
In order to enable Neutron a single node setup, you'll need the
following settings in your local.conf
:
disable_service n-net
enable_service q-svc
enable_service q-agt
enable_service q-dhcp
enable_service q-l3
enable_service q-meta
enable_service q-metering
# Optional, to enable tempest configuration as part of DevStack
enable_service tempest
Then run stack.sh
as normal.
DevStack supports setting specific Neutron configuration flags to the
service, Open vSwitch plugin and LinuxBridge plugin configuration files.
To make use of this feature, the settings can be added to local.conf
.
The old Q_XXX_EXTRA_XXX_OPTS
variables are deprecated and will be removed
in the near future. The local.conf
headers for the replacements are:
-
Q_SRV_EXTRA_OPTS
:post-config [linuxbridge] # or [ovs]
-
Q_AGENT_EXTRA_AGENT_OPTS
:post-config [agent]
-
Q_AGENT_EXTRA_SRV_OPTS
:post-config [linuxbridge] # or [ovs]
-
Q_SRV_EXTRA_DEFAULT_OPTS
:post-config [DEFAULT]
Example extra config in local.conf
:
[[post-config|/$Q_PLUGIN_CONF_FILE]]
[agent]
tunnel_type=vxlan
vxlan_udp_port=8472
[[post-config|$NEUTRON_CONF]]
[DEFAULT]
tenant_network_type=vxlan
DevStack also supports configuring the Neutron ML2 plugin. The ML2 plugin can run with the OVS, LinuxBridge, or Hyper-V agents on compute hosts. This is a simple way to configure the ml2 plugin:
# VLAN configuration
Q_PLUGIN=ml2
ENABLE_TENANT_VLANS=True
# GRE tunnel configuration
Q_PLUGIN=ml2
ENABLE_TENANT_TUNNELS=True
# VXLAN tunnel configuration
Q_PLUGIN=ml2
Q_ML2_TENANT_NETWORK_TYPE=vxlan
The above will default in DevStack to using the OVS on each compute host.
To change this, set the Q_AGENT
variable to the agent you want to run
(e.g. linuxbridge).
Variable Name Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q_AGENT This specifies which agent to run with the
ML2 Plugin (either `openvswitch` or `linuxbridge`).
Q_ML2_PLUGIN_MECHANISM_DRIVERS The ML2 MechanismDrivers to load. The default
is none. Note, ML2 will work with the OVS
and LinuxBridge agents by default.
Q_ML2_PLUGIN_TYPE_DRIVERS The ML2 TypeDrivers to load. Defaults to
all available TypeDrivers.
Q_ML2_PLUGIN_GRE_TYPE_OPTIONS GRE TypeDriver options. Defaults to none.
Q_ML2_PLUGIN_VXLAN_TYPE_OPTIONS VXLAN TypeDriver options. Defaults to none.
Q_ML2_PLUGIN_VLAN_TYPE_OPTIONS VLAN TypeDriver options. Defaults to none.
Heat
Heat is enabled by default (see stackrc
file). To disable it explicitly
you'll need the following settings in your localrc
section:
disable_service heat h-api h-api-cfn h-api-cw h-eng
Heat can also run in standalone mode, and be configured to orchestrate
on an external OpenStack cloud. To launch only Heat in standalone mode
you'll need the following settings in your localrc
section:
disable_all_services
enable_service rabbit mysql heat h-api h-api-cfn h-api-cw h-eng
HEAT_STANDALONE=True
KEYSTONE_SERVICE_HOST=...
KEYSTONE_AUTH_HOST=...
Tempest
If tempest has been successfully configured, a basic set of smoke tests can be run as follows:
$ cd /opt/stack/tempest
$ nosetests tempest/scenario/test_network_basic_ops.py
DevStack on Xenserver
If you would like to use Xenserver as the hypervisor, please refer
to the instructions in ./tools/xen/README.md
.
Additional Projects
DevStack has a hook mechanism to call out to a dispatch script at specific
points in the execution of stack.sh
, unstack.sh
and clean.sh
. This
allows upper-layer projects, especially those that the lower layer projects
have no dependency on, to be added to DevStack without modifying the core
scripts. Tempest is built this way as an example of how to structure the
dispatch script, see extras.d/80-tempest.sh
. See extras.d/README.md
for more information.
Multi-Node Setup
A more interesting setup involves running multiple compute nodes, with Neutron
networks connecting VMs on different compute nodes.
You should run at least one "controller node", which should have a stackrc
that includes at least:
disable_service n-net
enable_service q-svc
enable_service q-agt
enable_service q-dhcp
enable_service q-l3
enable_service q-meta
enable_service neutron
You likely want to change your localrc
section to run a scheduler that
will balance VMs across hosts:
SCHEDULER=nova.scheduler.simple.SimpleScheduler
You can then run many compute nodes, each of which should have a stackrc
which includes the following, with the IP address of the above controller node:
ENABLED_SERVICES=n-cpu,rabbit,g-api,neutron,q-agt
SERVICE_HOST=[IP of controller node]
MYSQL_HOST=$SERVICE_HOST
RABBIT_HOST=$SERVICE_HOST
Q_HOST=$SERVICE_HOST
MATCHMAKER_REDIS_HOST=$SERVICE_HOST
Multi-Region Setup
We want to setup two devstack (RegionOne and RegionTwo) with shared keystone (same users and services) and horizon. Keystone and Horizon will be located in RegionOne. Full spec is available at: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Heat/Blueprints/Multi_Region_Support_for_Heat.
In RegionOne:
REGION_NAME=RegionOne
In RegionTwo:
disable_service horizon
KEYSTONE_SERVICE_HOST=<KEYSTONE_IP_ADDRESS_FROM_REGION_ONE>
KEYSTONE_AUTH_HOST=<KEYSTONE_IP_ADDRESS_FROM_REGION_ONE>
REGION_NAME=RegionTwo
Cells
Cells is a new scaling option with a full spec at: http://wiki.openstack.org/blueprint-nova-compute-cells.
To setup a cells environment add the following to your localrc
section:
enable_service n-cell
Be aware that there are some features currently missing in cells, one notable one being security groups. The exercises have been patched to disable functionality not supported by cells.
Local Configuration
Historically DevStack has used localrc
to contain all local configuration
and customizations. More and more of the configuration variables available for
DevStack are passed-through to the individual project configuration files.
The old mechanism for this required specific code for each file and did not
scale well. This is handled now by a master local configuration file.
local.conf
The new config file local.conf
is an extended-INI format that introduces
a new meta-section header that provides some additional information such
as a phase name and destination config filename:
[[ <phase> | <config-file-name> ]]
where <phase>
is one of a set of phase names defined by stack.sh
and <config-file-name>
is the configuration filename. The filename is
eval'ed in the stack.sh
context so all environment variables are
available and may be used. Using the project config file variables in
the header is strongly suggested (see the NOVA_CONF
example below).
If the path of the config file does not exist it is skipped.
The defined phases are:
- local - extracts
localrc
fromlocal.conf
beforestackrc
is sourced - post-config - runs after the layer 2 services are configured and before they are started
- extra - runs after services are started and before any files
in
extra.d
are executed - post-extra - runs after files in
extra.d
are executed
The file is processed strictly in sequence; meta-sections may be specified more than once but if any settings are duplicated the last to appear in the file will be used.
[[post-config|$NOVA_CONF]]
[DEFAULT]
use_syslog = True
[osapi_v3]
enabled = False
A specific meta-section local|localrc
is used to provide a default
localrc
file (actually .localrc.auto
). This allows all custom
settings for DevStack to be contained in a single file. If localrc
exists it will be used instead to preserve backward-compatibility.
[[local|localrc]]
FIXED_RANGE=10.254.1.0/24
ADMIN_PASSWORD=speciale
LOGFILE=$DEST/logs/stack.sh.log
Note that Q_PLUGIN_CONF_FILE
is unique in that it is assumed to NOT
start with a /
(slash) character. A slash will need to be added:
[[post-config|/$Q_PLUGIN_CONF_FILE]]
