Steven Dake bbcf22cc12 Prepare for MD to RST conversion
Sphinx and OpenStack documentation standards require the use of
RST formatted documentation.  In order to get out docs integrated
into docs.openstack.org, the following steps must be taken:

1. we need to first convert the documentation to RST
2. sphinx support must be added to the repository
3. project-config must be updated with a publish-docs job

The ability to pubish to docs.openstack.org is a privilege only
available to Big Tent projects.  As a result, we should be taking
advantage of this to help spread the word on our implementation.

Note the documentation was converted with a tool called pandoc
the syntax of which was:
pandoc -f markdown -t rst file.md > z
mv z file.rst

In order for git to preserve history the files have to be git mv'ed
in one commit followed by the pandoc operation in a separate commit.

# Developer Environment
If you are developing Kolla on an existing OpenStack cloud that supports
Heat, then follow the Heat template [README][]. Another option available
on systems with VirutalBox is the use of [Vagrant][].
The best experience is available with bare metal deployment by following
the instructions below to manually create your Kolla deployment.
[README]: https://github.com/stackforge/kolla/blob/master/devenv/README.md
[Vagrant]: https://github.com/stackforge/kolla/blob/master/docs/vagrant.md
## Installing Dependencies
NB: Kolla will not run on Fedora 22 or later. Fedora 22 compresses kernel
modules with the .xz compressed format. The guestfs system cannot read
these images because a dependent package supermin in CentOS needs to be
updated to add .xz compressed format support.
To install Kolla depenedencies use:
git clone http://github.com/stackforge/kolla
cd kolla
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
In order to run Kolla, it is mandatory to run a version of `docker` that is
1.7.0 or later.
For most systems you can install the latest stable version of Docker with the
following command:
curl -sSL https://get.docker.io | bash
For Ubuntu based systems, do not use AUFS when starting Docker daemon unless
you are running the Utopic (3.19) kernel. AUFS requires CONFIG_AUFS_XATTR=y
set when building the kernel. On Ubuntu, versions prior to 3.19 did not set that
flag. If you are unable to upgrade your kernel, you should use a different
storage backend such as btrfs.
Next, install the OpenStack python clients if they are not installed:
sudo pip install -U python-openstackclient
Finally stop libvirt on the host machine. Only one copy of libvirt may be
running at a time.
service libvirtd stop
The basic starting environment will be created using `ansible`.
This environment will start up the OpenStack services listed in the
inventory file.
## Starting Kolla
Configure Ansible by reading the Kolla Ansible configuration documentation
[DEPLOY][].
[DEPLOY]: https://github.com/stackforge/kolla/blob/master/docs/ansible-deployment.md
Next, run the start command:
$ sudo ./tools/kolla-ansible deploy
A bare metal system takes three minutes to deploy AIO. A virtual machine
takes five minutes to deploy AIO. These are estimates; your hardware may
be faster or slower but should near these results.
## Debugging Kolla
You can determine a container's status by executing:
$ sudo docker ps -a
If any of the containers exited you can check the logs by executing:
$ sudo docker logs <container-name>
