diskimage-builder images
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Images built using diskimage-builder_ are recommended for production use on
|
|
real hardware.
|
|
|
|
Building
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
... with the helper script
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
To build an image using ``ironic-python-agent-builder``, run:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
|
|
ironic-python-agent-builder <distribution, e.g. ubuntu>
|
|
|
|
You can add other diskimage-builder_ elements via the ``-e`` flag:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
|
|
ironic-python-agent-builder -e <extra-element> --release 8 centos-minimal
|
|
|
|
You can specify the base name of the target images:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
|
|
ironic-python-agent-builder -o my-ipa --release 8 centos-minimal
|
|
|
|
You can specify the arch of the target image by setting ``ARCH`` environment
|
|
variable (default is amd64):
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
|
|
export ARCH=aarch64
|
|
ironic-python-agent-builder -o my-ipa fedora
|
|
|
|
... with diskimage-builder
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
You can also use diskimage-builder_ directly. First you need to set the
|
|
``ELEMENTS_PATH`` variable to the correct location:
|
|
|
|
* If installed with ``pip install --user``, use:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
export ELEMENTS_PATH=$HOME/.local/share/ironic-python-agent-builder/dib
|
|
|
|
* On Fedora/CentOS/RHEL (installed via ``sudo pip install`` or from packages):
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
export ELEMENTS_PATH=/usr/share/ironic-python-agent-builder/dib
|
|
|
|
* On Debian and its derivatives, if installed with ``sudo pip install``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
export ELEMENTS_PATH=/usr/local/share/ironic-python-agent-builder/dib
|
|
|
|
Now you can build an image adding the ``ironic-python-agent-ramdisk`` element,
|
|
for example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
|
|
export DIB_RELEASE=8
|
|
disk-image-create -o ironic-python-agent \
|
|
ironic-python-agent-ramdisk centos-minimal
|
|
|
|
To use a specific branch of ironic-python-agent, use:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
export DIB_REPOREF_ironic_python_agent=origin/stable/queens
|
|
export DIB_REPOREF_requirements=origin/stable/queens
|
|
|
|
To build ironic-lib from source, do:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
export IRONIC_LIB_FROM_SOURCE=true
|
|
# Optionally:
|
|
#export DIB_REPOREF_ironic_lib=<branch>
|
|
|
|
To build image for architectures other than amd64, you can either set the
|
|
``ARCH`` environment variable or use ``-a`` to specify the target
|
|
architecture:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
|
|
disk-image-create -a arm64 -o ironic-python-agent \
|
|
ironic-python-agent-ramdisk fedora
|
|
|
|
ISO Images
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Additionally, the IPA ramdisk can be packaged inside of an ISO for use with
|
|
some virtual media drivers. Use the ``iso-image-create`` utility, passing it
|
|
the initrd and the kernel, for example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
./tools/iso-image-create -o /path/to/output.iso -i /path/to/ipa.initrd -k /path/to/ipa.kernel
|
|
|
|
This is a generic tool that can be used to combine any initrd and kernel into
|
|
a suitable ISO for booting, and so should work against any IPA ramdisk.
|
|
|
|
Advanced options
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Disabling rescue
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
By default rescue mode is enabled in the images. Since it allows to set root
|
|
password on the ramdisk by anyone on the network, you may disable it if the
|
|
rescue feature is not supported. Set the following before building the image:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
export DIB_IPA_ENABLE_RESCUE=false
|
|
|
|
SSH access
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
SSH access can be added to DIB built IPA images with the dynamic-login_
|
|
or the devuser_ element.
|
|
|
|
The *dynamic-login* element allows the operator to inject an SSH key at boot
|
|
time via the kernel command line parameters:
|
|
|
|
* Add ``sshkey="ssh-rsa <your public key here>"`` to ``pxe_append_params``
|
|
setting in the ``ironic.conf`` file.
|
|
|
|
.. warning:: Quotation marks around the public key are important!
|
|
|
|
* Restart the ironic-conductor.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
This element is added to the published images by default.
|
|
|
|
The *devuser* element allows creating a user at build time, for example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
export DIB_DEV_USER_USERNAME=username
|
|
export DIB_DEV_USER_PWDLESS_SUDO=yes
|
|
export DIB_DEV_USER_AUTHORIZED_KEYS=$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
|
|
disk-image-create debian ironic-python-agent-ramdisk devuser
|
|
|
|
Consistent Network Interface Naming
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Base cloud images normally disable consistent network interface naming
|
|
by inserting an empty udev rule. Include ``stable-interface-names`` element
|
|
if you want to have consistent network interface naming whenever it is
|
|
required for instance image or deploy image.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
ironic-python-agent-builder -e stable-interface-names --release 8 centos-minimal
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. _diskimage-builder: https://docs.openstack.org/diskimage-builder
|
|
.. _dynamic-login: https://docs.openstack.org/diskimage-builder/latest/elements/dynamic-login/README.html
|
|
.. _devuser: https://docs.openstack.org/diskimage-builder/latest/elements/devuser/README.html
|
|
|
|
Firmware Removal
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
By default the element removes some firmware blobs to reduce the image size.
|
|
The list can be found below this paragraph. The majority of these firmware
|
|
images are used by SoCs, WI-FI chips, some GPUs and Smartnics which are
|
|
unlikely to be encountered. If you want to override this, change the
|
|
``IPA_REMOVE_FIRMWARE`` environment variable to a comma-separated list
|
|
of directories or files under ``/usr/lib/firmware``.
|
|
Set it to an empty string to disable firmware removal.
|
|
|
|
Fimrware removed:
|
|
|
|
* ``amdgpu``
|
|
* ``netronome``
|
|
* ``qcom``
|
|
* ``ti-communication``
|
|
* ``ti-keystone``
|
|
* ``ueagle-atm``
|
|
* ``rsi``
|
|
* ``mrvl``
|
|
* ``brcm``
|
|
* ``mediatek``
|
|
* ``ath10k``
|
|
* ``rtlwifi``
|

Available Elements
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Ironic Python Agent (IPA) Extra Hardware
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
This element adds the `hardware <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/hardware>`_
|
|
python package to the Ironic Python Agent (IPA) ramdisk. It also installs
|
|
several package dependencies of the ``hardware`` module.
|
|
|
|
The ``hardware`` package provides improves hardware introspection capabilities
|
|
and supports benchmarking. This functionality may be enabled by adding the
|
|
``extra-hardware`` collector in the ``[DEFAULT] inspection_collectors`` option
|
|
or the ``ipa-inspection-collectors`` kernel command line argument.
|
|
|
|
The following environment variables may be set to configure the element when
|
|
doing a source-based installation:
|
|
|
|
* ``DIB_IPA_HARDWARE_PACKAGE`` the full ``hardware`` Python package descriptor
|
|
to use. If unset, ``DIB_IPA_HARDWARE_VERSION`` will be used.
|
|
* ``DIB_IPA_HARDWARE_VERSION`` the version of the ``hardware`` package to
|
|
install when ``DIB_IPA_HARDWARE_PACKAGE`` is unset. If unset, the latest
|
|
version will be installed.
|
|
|
|
ironic-python-agent-ramdisk
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Builds a ramdisk with ironic-python-agent.
|
|
|
|
More information can be found at:
|
|
https://docs.openstack.org/ironic-python-agent/latest/
|
|
|
|
Beyond installing the ironic-python-agent, this element does the following:
|
|
|
|
* Installs the ``dhcp-all-interfaces`` so the node, upon booting, attempts to
|
|
obtain an IP address on all available network interfaces.
|
|
* Disables the ``iptables`` service on SysV and systemd based systems.
|
|
* Disables the ``ufw`` service on Upstart based systems.
|
|
* Installs packages required for the operation of the ironic-python-agent::
|
|
``qemu-utils`` ``parted`` ``hdparm`` ``util-linux`` ``genisoimage``
|
|
* When installing from source, ``python-dev`` and ``gcc`` are also installed
|
|
in order to support source based installation of ironic-python-agent and its
|
|
dependencies.
|
|
* Install the certificate if any, which is set to the environment variable
|
|
``DIB_IPA_CERT`` for validating the authenticity by ironic-python-agent. The
|
|
certificate can be self-signed certificate or CA certificate.
|
|
* Compresses initramfs with command specified in environment variable
|
|
``DIB_IPA_COMPRESS_CMD``, which is 'gzip' by default. This command should
|
|
listen for raw data from stdin and write compressed data to stdout. Command
|
|
can be with arguments.
|
|
* Configures rescue mode if ``DIB_IPA_ENABLE_RESCUE`` is not set to ``false``.
|
|
|
|
This element outputs three files:
|
|
|
|
* ``$IMAGE-NAME.initramfs``: The deploy ramdisk file containing the
|
|
ironic-python-agent (IPA) service.
|
|
* ``$IMAGE-NAME.kernel``: The kernel binary file.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
The package based install currently only enables the service when using the
|
|
systemd init system. This can easily be changed if there is an agent
|
|
package which includes upstart or sysv packaging.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Using the ramdisk will require at least 1.5GB of ram
|
|
|
|
ironic-python-agent-tls
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Adds TLS support to ironic-python-agent-ramdisk.
|
|
|
|
By default this element will enable TLS API support in IPA with a self-signed
|
|
certificate and key created at build time.
|
|
|
|
Optionally, you can provide your own SSL certifiate and key, and optionally
|
|
CA, via the following environment variables. They should be set to an
|
|
accessible path on the build systems filesystem. If set, they will be copied
|
|
into the built ramdisk, and IPA will be configured to use them.
|
|
|
|
The environment variables are:
|
|
|
|
* ``DIB_IPA_CERT_FILE`` should point to the TLS certificate for ramdisk use.
|
|
* ``DIB_IPA_KEY_FILE`` should point to the private key matching
|
|
``DIB_IPA_CERT_FILE``.
|
|
|
|
You can configure the generated certificate with the following environment
|
|
variables:
|
|
|
|
* ``DIB_IPA_CERT_HOSTNAME`` the CN for the generated certificate. Defaults to
|
|
"ipa-ramdisk.example.com".
|
|
* ``DIB_IPA_CERT_EXPIRATION`` expiration, in days, for the certificate.
|
|
Defaults to 1095 (three years).
|
|
|
|
Note that the certificates generated by this element are self-signed, and
|
|
any nodes using them will need to set agent_verify_ca=False in driver_info.
|
|
|
|
This element can also configure client certificate validation in IPA. If you
|
|
wish to validate client certificates, set ``DIB_IPA_CA_FILE`` to a CA file
|
|
you wish IPA client connections to be validated against. This CA file will
|
|
be copied into the built ramdisk, and IPA will be configured to use it.
