How To Contribute
=================
Basics
======
#. Our source code is hosted on `OpenDev Kolla Git
<https://opendev.org/openstack/kolla/>`_. Bugs should be filed on
`launchpad <https://bugs.launchpad.net/kolla>`_.
#. Please follow OpenStack `Gerrit Workflow
<https://docs.openstack.org/infra/manual/developers.html#development-workflow>`__
to contribute to Kolla.
#. 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``.
#. Please file a `blueprint of kolla <https://blueprints.launchpad.net/kolla>`__
for any significant code change and a bug
for any significant bug fix. See how to reference a bug or a blueprint in
the `commit message <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/GitCommitMessages>`_.
For simple changes, contributors may optionally add the text "TrivialFix" to
the commit message footer to indicate to reviewers a bug is not required.
#. We use a `whiteboard <https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/KollaWhiteBoard>`__
to keep track of CI gate status, release status, stable backports, planning
and feature development status.
Please use the existing sandbox repository, available at `sandbox
<https://opendev.org/openstack-dev/sandbox>`_,
for learning, understanding and testing the `Gerrit Workflow
<https://docs.openstack.org/infra/manual/developers.html#development-workflow>`_.
Adding a release note
=====================
Kolla uses the following release notes sections:
- ``features`` --- for new features or functionality; these should ideally
refer to the blueprint being implemented;
- ``fixes`` --- for fixes closing bugs; these must refer to the bug being
closed;
- ``upgrade`` --- for notes relevant when upgrading from previous version;
these should ideally be added only between major versions; required when
the proposed change affects behaviour in a non-backwards compatible way or
generally changes something impactful;
- ``deprecations`` --- to track deprecated features; relevant changes may
consist of only the commit message and the release note;
- ``prelude`` --- filled in by the PTL before each release or RC.
Other release note types may be applied per common sense.
Each change should include a release note unless being a ``TrivialFix``
change or affecting only docs or CI. Such changes should `not` include
a release note to avoid confusion.
Remember release notes are mostly for end users which, in case of Kolla,
are OpenStack administrators/operators.
In case of doubt, the core team will let you know what is required.
To add a release note, run the following command:
.. code-block:: console
tox -e venv -- reno new <summary-line-with-dashes>
All release notes can be inspected by browsing ``releasenotes/notes``
directory.
To generate release notes in HTML format in ``releasenotes/build``, run:
.. code-block:: console
tox -e releasenotes
Note this requires the release note to be tracked by ``git`` so you
have to at least add it to the ``git``'s staging area.
Adding a new service
====================
Kolla aims to both containerise and deploy all services within the OpenStack
ecosystem. 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.
The image
---------
Kolla follows `Best practices for writing Dockerfiles
<https://docs.docker.com/engine/userguide/eng-image/dockerfile_best-practices/>`__
when designing and implementing services where at all possible.
We use ``jinja2`` templating syntax to help manage the volume and complexity
that comes with maintaining multiple Dockerfiles for multiple different base
operating systems.
Images should be created under the ``docker`` directory. OpenStack services
should inherit from the provided ``openstack-base`` image, while supporting and
infrastructure services (for example, mongodb) should inherit from ``base``.
Services consisting of only one service should be placed in an image named the
same as that service, for example, ``horizon``. Services that consist of
multiple processes generally use a base image and child images, for example,
``glance-base``, ``glance-api``, and ``glance-registry``.
Jinja2 'blocks' are employed throughout the Dockerfile's to help operators
customise various stages of the build (refer to :ref:`Dockerfile Customisation
<dockerfile-customisation>`)
Some of these blocks are free form however, there are a subset that should be
common to every Dockerfile. The overall structure for a multi container service
is as follows:
.. code-block:: console
FROM {{ namespace }}/{{ image_prefix }}openstack-base:{{ tag }}
LABEL maintainer="{{ maintainer }}" name="{{ image_name }}" build-date="{{ build_date }}"
{% block << service >>_header %}{% endblock %}
{% import "macros.j2" as macros with context %}
<< binary specific steps >>
<< source specific steps >>
<< common steps >>
{% block << service >>_footer %}{% endblock %}
{% block footer %}{% endblock %}
.. note::
The generic footer block ``{% block footer %}{% endblock %}`` should not be
included in base images (for example, glance-base).

New Feature Planning
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
New features are discussed via IRC or mailing list (with [kolla] prefix).
Kolla project keeps blueprints in `Launchpad <https://blueprints.launchpad.net/kolla>`__.
Specs are welcome but not strictly required.
Task Tracking
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kolla project tracks tasks in `Launchpad <https://bugs.launchpad.net/kolla>`__.
Note this is the same place as for bugs.
If you're looking for some smaller, easier work item to pick up and get started
on, search for the 'low-hanging-fruit' tag.
A more lightweight task tracking is done via etherpad - `Whiteboard <https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/KollaWhiteBoard>`__.
Reporting a Bug
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You found an issue and want to make sure we are aware of it? You can do so
on `Launchpad <https://bugs.launchpad.net/kolla>`__.
Note this is the same place as for tasks.
Getting Your Patch Merged
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Most changes proposed to Kolla require two +2 votes from core reviewers before
+W. A release note is required on most changes as well. Release notes policy
is described in :ref:`its own section <release-notes>`.
Significant changes should have documentation and testing provided with them.
Project Team Lead Duties
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All common PTL duties are enumerated in the `PTL guide <https://docs.openstack.org/project-team-guide/ptl.html>`_.
Kolla-specific PTL duties are listed in `Kolla PTL guide <https://docs.openstack.org/kolla/latest/contributor/ptl-guide.html>`_.
