Vagrant up! =========== This guide describes how to use `Vagrant `__ to assist in developing for Kolla. Vagrant is a tool to assist in scripted creation of virtual machines. Vagrant takes care of setting up CentOS-based VMs for Kolla development, each with proper hardware like memory amount and number of network interfaces. Getting Started --------------- The Vagrant script implements All-in-One (AIO) or multi-node deployments. AIO is the default. In the case of multi-node deployment, the Vagrant setup builds a cluster with the following nodes by default: - 3 control nodes - 1 compute node - 1 storage node (Note: ceph requires at least 3 storage nodes) - 1 network node - 1 operator node The cluster node count can be changed by editing the Vagrantfile. Kolla runs from the operator node to deploy OpenStack. All nodes are connected with each other on the secondary NIC. The primary NIC is behind a NAT interface for connecting with the Internet. The third NIC is connected without IP configuration to a public bridge interface. This may be used for Neutron/Nova to connect to instances. Start by downloading and installing the Vagrant package for the distro of choice. Various downloads can be found at the `Vagrant downloads `__. On Fedora 22 it is as easy as:: sudo dnf install vagrant ruby-devel libvirt-devel Next install the hostmanager plugin so all hosts are recorded in /etc/hosts (inside each vm):: vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostmanager Vagrant supports a wide range of virtualization technologies. This documentation describes libvirt. The Kolla Vagrantfile uses features not yet available in a packaged version. To install vagrant-libvirt plugin from git:: git checkout https://github.com/pradels/vagrant-libvirt.git cd vagrant-libvirt sudo dnf install rubygem-rake rubygem-bundler rake build vagrant plugin install pkg/vagrant-libvirt-0.0.30.gem Setup NFS to permit file sharing between host and VMs. Contrary to rsync method, NFS allows both way synchronization and offers much better performances than VirtualBox shared folders. On Fedora 22:: sudo systemctl start nfs-server firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=2049/udp firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=2049/tcp firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=111/udp firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=111/tcp Find a location in the system's home directory and checkout the Kolla repo:: git clone https://github.com/openstack/kolla.git ~/dev/kolla Developers can now tweak the Vagrantfile or bring up the default AIO Centos7-based environment:: cd ~/dev/kolla/vagrant && vagrant up The command ``vagrant status`` provides a quick overview of the VMs composing the environment. Vagrant Up ---------- Once Vagrant has completed deploying all nodes, the next step is to launch Kolla. First, connect with the *operator* node:: vagrant ssh operator To speed things up, there is a local registry running on the operator. All nodes are configured so they can use this insecure repo to pull from, and use it as a mirror. Ansible may use this registry to pull images from. All nodes have a local folder shared between the group and the hypervisor, and a folder shared between *all* nodes and the hypervisor. This mapping is lost after reboots, so make sure to use the command ``vagrant reload `` when reboots are required. Having this shared folder provides a method to supply a different docker binary to the cluster. The shared folder is also used to store the docker-registry files, so they are save from destructive operations like ``vagrant destroy``. Building images ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Once logged on the *operator* VM call the ``kolla-build`` utility:: kolla-build ``kolla-build`` accept arguments as documented in :doc:`image-building`. Deploying OpenStack with Kolla ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Deploy AIO with:: sudo kolla-ansible deploy Deploy multinode with:: sudo kolla-ansible deploy -i /usr/share/kolla/ansible/inventory/multinode Validate OpenStack is operational:: source ~/openrc openstack user-list Or navigate to http://10.10.10.254/ with a web browser.
