Source Code Orientation
=======================
There are a number of layers to Kayobe, so here we provide a few pointers to
the major parts.
CLI
---
The Command Line Interface (CLI) is built using the `cliff
<https://pypi.org/project/cliff/>`__ library. Commands are exposed as Python
entry points in `setup.cfg
<https://opendev.org/openstack/kayobe/src/branch/master/setup.cfg>`__. These
entry points map to classes in `kayobe/cli/commands.py
<https://opendev.org/openstack/kayobe/src/branch/master/kayobe/cli/commands.py>`__.
The helper modules `kayobe/ansible.py
<https://opendev.org/openstack/kayobe/src/branch/master/kayobe/ansible.py>`__
and `kayobe/kolla_ansible.py
<https://opendev.org/openstack/kayobe/src/branch/master/kayobe/kolla_ansible.py>`__
are used to execute Kayobe playbooks and Kolla Ansible commands respectively.
Ansible
-------
Kayobe's Ansible playbooks live in `ansible/*.yml
<https://opendev.org/openstack/kayobe/src/branch/master/ansible>`__, and these
typically execute roles in `ansible/roles/
<https://opendev.org/openstack/kayobe/src/branch/master/ansible/roles>`__.
Global variable defaults are defined in group variable files in
`ansible/group_vars/all/
<https://opendev.org/openstack/kayobe/src/branch/master/ansible/group_vars/>`__
and these typically map to commented out variables in the configuration files
in `etc/kayobe/*.yml
<https://opendev.org/openstack/kayobe/src/branch/master/etc/kayobe/>`__.
A number of custom Jinja filters exist in `ansible/filter_plugins/*.py
<https://opendev.org/openstack/kayobe/src/branch/master/ansible/filter_plugins>`__.
Kayobe depends on roles hosted on Ansible Galaxy, and these and their version
requirements are defined in `requirements.yml
<https://opendev.org/openstack/kayobe/src/branch/master/requirements.yml>`__.
Ansible Galaxy
==============
Kayobe uses a number of Ansible roles hosted on Ansible Galaxy. The role
dependencies are tracked in ``requirements.yml``, and specify required
versions. The process for changing a Galaxy role is as follows:
#. If required, develop changes for the role. This may be done outside of
Kayobe, or by modifying the role in place during development. If upstream
changes to the role have already been made, this step can be skipped.
#. Commit changes to the role, typically via a Github pull request.
#. Request that a tagged release of the role be made, or make one if you have
the necessary privileges.
#. Ensure that automatic imports are configured for the role using e.g. a
TravisCI webhook notification, or perform a manual import of the role on
Ansible Galaxy.
#. Modify the version in ``requirements.yml`` to match the new release of the
role.
