Steven Dake 0d73d96932 Tidy up dev quickstart
The dev-quickstart needed a bit of updating.  The major change in this
update is to specify using docker 1.6.0 release version rather than
a docker RC.

# Developer Environment
If you are developing Kolla on an existing OpenStack cloud
that supports Heat, then follow the Heat template [README][].
Otherwise, follow the instructions below to manually create
your Kolla development environment.
[README]: https://github.com/stackforge/kolla/blob/master/devenv/README.md
## Installing Dependencies
In order to run Kolla, it is mandatory to run a version of `docker-compose`
that includes pid: host support. The `docker-compose` master repository
includes support but the pip packaged version of 1.2.0 does not. We expect
the pip packaged version of docker-compose 1.3.0 to include the necessary
features, so these next steps won't be necessary if installed from pip or
distro packaging.
git clone http://github.com/docker/compose
cd compose
sudo pip install -e .
In order to run Kolla, it is mandatory to run a version of `docker`
that is a 1.6.0. Docker 1.5.0 has a defect in `--pid=host` support where
the libvirt container cannot be stopped.
If a version of Docker less than 1.6.0 is running on your system, stop it:
sudo systemctl stop docker
sudo killall -9 docker
Next, download and run the Docker 1.6.0 binary provided by Docker Inc.:
curl https://get.docker.com/builds/Linux/x86_64/docker-1.6.0 -o docker
sudo ./docker -d &
Next, install the OpenStack python clients if they are not installed:
sudo yum install python-keystoneclient python-glanceclient \
python-novaclient python-heatclient python-neutronclient
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 `docker-compose`.
This environment will start up the openstack services listed in the
compose directory.
## Starting Kolla
To start, setup your environment variables.
$ cd kolla
$ ./tools/genenv
The `genenv` script will create a compose/openstack.env file
and an openrc file in your current directory. The openstack.env
file contains all of your initialized environment variables, which
you can edit for a different setup.
A mandatory step is customizing the FLAT_INTERFACE network interface
environment variable. The variable defaults to eth1. In some cases, the
second interface in a system may not be eth1, but a unique name. For
exmaple with an Intel driver, the interface is enp1s0. The interface name
can be determined by executing the ifconfig tool. The second interface must
be a real interface, not a virtual interface. Make certain to store the
interface name in `compose/openstack.env`:
NEUTRON_FLAT_NETWORK_INTERFACE=enp1s0
FLAT_INTERFACE=enp1s0
Next, run the start command:
$ sudo ./tools/kolla start
Finally, run the status command:
$ sudo ./tools/kolla status
This will display information about all Kolla containers.
## Debugging Kolla
All Docker commands should be run from the directory of the Docker binary,
by default this is `/`.
The `start` command to kolla is responsible for starting the containers
using `docker-compose -f <service-container> up -d`.
If you want to start a container set by hand use this template:
$ docker-compose -f glance-api-registry.yml up -d
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-id>
$ docker-compose logs <container-id>
If you want to start a individual service like `glance-api` manually, use
this template. This is a good method to test and troubleshoot an individual
container. Note some containers require special options. Reference the
compose yml specification for more details:
$ sudo ./docker run --name glance-api -d \
--net=host \
--env-file=compose/openstack.env \
kollaglue/fedora-rdo-glance-api:latest
