How To Contribute

Basics

  1. Our source code is hosted on OpenStack Kolla-Ansible Git. Bugs should be filed on launchpad.
  2. Please follow OpenStack Gerrit Workflow to contribute to Kolla-ansible.
  3. Note the branch you're proposing changes to. master is the current focus of development. Kolla project has a strict policy of only allowing backports in stable/branch, unless when not applicable. A bug in a stable/branch will first have to be fixed in master.
  4. Please file a blueprint of kolla-ansible for any significant code change and a bug for any significant bug fix, or add a TrivialFix tag to commit message for simple changes. See how to reference a bug or a blueprint in the commit message.
  5. TrivialFix tags or bugs are not required for documentation changes.

Development Environment

Please follow our /user/quickstart to deploy your environment and test your changes.

Please use the existing sandbox repository, available at sandbox, for learning, understanding and testing the Gerrit Workflow.

Adding a new service

Kolla aims to both containerise and deploy all services within the OpenStack "big tent". This is a constantly moving target as the ecosystem grows, so these guidelines aim to help make adding a new service to Kolla a smooth experience.

When adding a role for a new service in Ansible, there are couple of patterns that Kolla uses throughout that should be followed.

  • The sample inventories

    Entries should be added for the service in each of ansible/inventory/multinode and ansible/inventory/all-in-one.

  • The playbook

    The main playbook that ties all roles together is in ansible/site.yml, this should be updated with appropriate roles, tags, and conditions. Ensure also that supporting hosts such as haproxy are updated when necessary.

  • The common role

    A common role exists which sets up logging, kolla-toolbox and other supporting components. This should be included in all services within meta/main.yml of your role.

  • Common tasks

    All services should include the following tasks:

    • reconfigure.yml : Used to push new configuration files to the host and restart the service.
    • pull.yml : Used to pre fetch the image into the Docker image cache on hosts, to speed up initial deploys.
    • upgrade.yml : Used for upgrading the service in a rolling fashion. May include service specific setup and steps as not all services can be upgraded in the same way.

  • Logrotation

    • For OpenStack services there should be a cron-logrotate-PROJECT.conf.j2 template file in ansible/roles/common/templates with the following content:

      "/var/log/kolla/PROJECT/*.log"
{
}

    • For OpenStack services there should be an entry in the services list in the cron.json.j2 template file in ansible/roles/common/templates.

  • Log delivery

    • For OpenStack services the service should add a new rewriterule in the match element in the 01-rewrite.conf.j2 template file in ansible/roles/common/templates/conf/filter to deliver log messages to Elasticsearch.

  • Documentation

    • For OpenStack services there should be an entry in the list OpenStack services in the README.rst file.
    • For infrastructure services there should be an entry in the list Infrastructure components in the README.rst file.

  • Syntax

    • All YAML data files should start with three dashes (---).

Other than the above, most service roles abide by the following pattern:

  • Register: Involves registering the service with Keystone, creating endpoints, roles, users, etc.
  • Config: Distributes the config files to the nodes to be pulled into the container on startup.
  • Bootstrap: Creating the database (but not tables), database user for the service, permissions, etc.
  • Bootstrap Service: Starts a one shot container on the host to create the database tables, and other initial run time config.
  • Start: Start the service(s).
