Installation

Install freezer-api

# git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack/freezer-api.git
# cd freezer-api
# pip install ./

edit config file

# sudo cp etc/freezer/freezer-api.conf /etc/freezer/freezer-api.conf
# sudo cp etc/freezer/freezer-paste.ini /etc/freezer/freezer-paste.ini
# sudo vi /etc/freezer/freezer-api.conf
# sudo vi /etc/freezer/freezer-paste.ini

setup/configure the db

The currently supported db is Elasticsearch. In case you are using a dedicated instance of the server, you'll need to start it. Depending on the OS flavor it might be a:

# service elasticsearch start

or, on systemd

# systemctl start elasticsearch

Elasticsearch needs to know what type of data each document's field contains. This information is contained in the mapping, or schema definition. Elasticsearch will use dynamic mapping to try to guess the field type from the basic datatypes available in JSON, but some field's properties have to be explicitly declared to tune the indexing engine. To do that, use the freezer-manage command: :

# freezer-manage db sync

You should have updated your configuration files before doing this step. freezer-manage has the following options:

• To create the db mappings use the following command:

  # freezer-manage db sync

• To update the db mappings using the following command. Update means that you might have some mappings and you want to update it with a more recent ones :

  # freezer-manage db update

• To remove the db mappings using the following command :

  # freezer-manage db remove

• To print the db mappings using the following command :

  # freezer-manage db show

• To update your settings (number of replicas) all what you need to do is to change its value in the configuration file and then run the following command :

  # freezer-manage db update-settings

If you provided an invalid number of replicas that will cause problems later on, so it's highly recommended to make sure that you are using the correct number of replicas. For more info click here Elasticsearch_Replicas_instructions

• To get information about optional additional parameters:

  # freezer-manage -h

• If you want to add any additional parameter like --yes or --erase, they should be before the db option. Check the following examples:

Wrong Example:

# freezer-manage db sync -y -e

Correct Example:

# freezer-manage -y -e db sync

run simple instance
