Developer Quick-Start

This is a quick walkthrough to get you started developing code for Magnum. This assumes you are already familiar with submitting code reviews to an OpenStack project.

https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/GerritWorkflow

Install prerequisites:

# Ubuntu/Debian:
sudo apt-get install python-dev libssl-dev python-pip libmysqlclient-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev libpq-dev git git-review libffi-dev gettext python-tox

# Fedora/RHEL:
sudo yum install python-devel openssl-devel python-pip mysql-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel postgresql-devel git git-review libffi-devel gettext ipmitool

# openSUSE/SLE 12:
sudo zypper install git git-review libffi-devel libmysqlclient-devel libopenssl-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel postgresql-devel python-devel python-flake8 python-nose python-pip python-setuptools-git python-testrepository python-tox python-virtualenv gettext-runtime

sudo easy_install nose
sudo pip install virtualenv setuptools-git flake8 tox testrepository

If using RHEL and yum reports “No package python-pip available” and “No package git-review available”, use the EPEL software repository. Instructions can be found at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#howtouse.

You may need to explicitly upgrade virtualenv if you've installed the one from your OS distribution and it is too old (tox will complain). You can upgrade it individually, if you need to:

sudo pip install -U virtualenv

Magnum source code should be pulled directly from git:

# from your home or source directory
cd ~
git clone https://git.openstack.org/stackforge/magnum
cd magnum

Set up a local environment for development and testing should be done with tox:

# create a virtualenv for development
tox -evenv -- echo 'done'

Activate the virtual environment whenever you want to work in it. All further commands in this section should be run with the venv active:

source .tox/venv/bin/activate

All unit tests should be run using tox. To run Magnum's entire test suite:

# run all tests (unit and pep8)
tox

To run a specific test, use a positional argument for the unit tests:

# run a specific test for Python 2.7
tox -epy27 -- test_conductor

You may pass options to the test programs using positional arguments:

# run all the Python 2.7 unit tests (in parallel!)
tox -epy27 -- --parallel

To run only the pep8/flake8 syntax and style checks:

tox -epep8

When you're done, deactivate the virtualenv:

deactivate

Exercising the Services Using DevStack

DevStack does not yet have Magnum support. It is, however, necessary to develop Magnum from a devstack environment at the present time. Magnum depends on Nova, Heat, and Neutron to create and schedule virtual machines to simulate bare-metal. For milestone #2 we intend to introduce support for Ironic deployment of baremetal nodes.

Clone DevStack:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/openstack-dev/devstack.git devstack

Create devstack/localrc with minimal settings required to enable Heat and Neutron.:

cd devstack
cat >localrc <<END
# Modify to your environment
FLOATING_RANGE=192.168.1.224/27
PUBLIC_NETWORK_GATEWAY=192.168.1.225
PUBLIC_INTERFACE=em1

# Credentials
ADMIN_PASSWORD=password
DATABASE_PASSWORD=password
RABBIT_PASSWORD=password
SERVICE_PASSWORD=password
SERVICE_TOKEN=password

enable_service rabbit

# Enable Neutron which is required by Ironic and disable nova-network.
disable_service n-net
enable_service q-svc
enable_service q-agt
enable_service q-dhcp
enable_service q-l3
enable_service q-meta
enable_service neutron

FIXED_RANGE=10.0.0.0/24

Q_USE_SECGROUP=True
ENABLE_TENANT_VLANS=True
TENANT_VLAN_RANGE=

PHYSICAL_NETWORK=public
OVS_PHYSICAL_BRIDGE=br-ex

# Log all output to files
LOGFILE=$HOME/devstack.log
SCREEN_LOGDIR=$HOME/logs

# Magnum doesn't work with latest heat.
# See: https://bugs.launchpad.net/magnum/+bug/1411092
HEAT_BRANCH=stable/juno

END

At this time, Magnum has only been tested with the Fedora Atomic micro-OS. Magnum will likely work with other micro-OS platforms, but each one requires individual support in the heat template.

The next step is to store the Fedora Atomic micro-OS in glance. The steps for updating Fedora Atomic images are a bit detailed. Fortunately one of the core developers has made Atomic images avaliable via the web:

Create a new shell, and source the devstack openrc script:

source ~/devstack/openrc admin admin

cd ~
wget https://fedorapeople.org/groups/heat/kolla/fedora-21-atomic.qcow2
glance image-create --name fedora21-atomic \
                    --is-public True \
                    --disk-format qcow2 \
                    --container-format bare < fedora-21-atomic.qcow2
nova keypair-add --pub-key ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub testkey

Next, create a database in MySQL for Magnum:

mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -u root -ppassword mysql <<EOF
CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS magnum DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON magnum.* TO
    'root'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'
EOF

Next, clone and install magnum:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/stackforge/magnum
cd magnum
sudo pip install -e .
mkdir -p /etc/magnum/templates
cp -r etc/magnum/templates/heat-kubernetes \
      /etc/magnum/templates/

Next, clone and install the client:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/stackforge/python-magnumclient
cd python-magnumclient
sudo pip install -e .

Next configure Magnum:

mkdir -p /etc/magnum
cat >/etc/magnum/magnum.conf <<END
[DEFAULT]
debug = True
verbose = True

rabbit_password = password

[database]
connection = mysql://root:password@localhost/magnum

[keystone_authtoken]
admin_password = password
admin_user = admin
identity_uri = http://127.0.0.1:35357

auth_uri=http://127.0.0.1:5000/v2.0
END

Next, configure the database for use with Magnum:

magnum-db-manage upgrade

Finally, configure the keystone endpoint:

keystone service-create --name=container \
                        --type=container \
                        --description="Magnum Container Service"
keystone endpoint-create --service=container \
                         --publicurl=http://127.0.0.1:9511/v1 \
                         --internalurl=http://127.0.0.1:9511/v1 \
                         --adminurl=http://127.0.0.1:9511/v1

Next start the API service:

magnum-api

Next start the ackend service in a new window:

magnum-conductor

. ~/repos/devstack/openrc admin admin

To get started, list the available commands and resources:

magnum help

First create a baymodel, which is similar in nature to a flavor. It informs Magnum in which way to construct a bay.:

magnum baymodel-create  --name steak --image-id fedora21-atomic

A bay can be created with 3 nodes. One node will be configured as a master Kubernetes node, while the remaining two nodes will be configured as minions:

First obtain the public Neutron network UUID:

[nobody@bigiron ~]$ neutron net-show public
+---------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| Field                     | Value                                |
+---------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| admin_state_up            | True                                 |
| id                        | 267efcaf-c38d-43ee-86d1-db3c3c758917 |
| name                      | public                               |
| provider:network_type     | vxlan                                |
| provider:physical_network |                                      |
| provider:segmentation_id  | 1002                                 |
| router:external           | True                                 |
| shared                    | False                                |
| status                    | ACTIVE                               |
| subnets                   | 8386f1d0-3ad3-4397-8c95-972a2e5097a9 |
| tenant_id                 | 59abd617f1bd47c1baa4d8290fe37016     |
+---------------------------+--------------------------------------+

Next create a baymodel:

magnum baymodel-create --name testbaymodel --image-id fedora21-atomic \
                       --keypair-id=testkey \
                       --external-network-id 267efcaf-c38d-43ee-86d1-db3c3c758917 \
                       --dns-nameserver 8.8.8.8 --flavor-id m1.medium

Next create a bay. Use the baymodel UUID as a template for bay creation. This bay will result in one master kubernetes node and three minion nodes.:

magnum bay-create --name testbay --baymodel-id $BAYMODEL_UUID --node-count 3

The existing bays can be listed as follows:

magnum bay-list

If you make some code changes and want to test their effects, just restart either magnum-api or magnum-conductor. the -e option to pip install will link to the location from where the source code was installed.

To start a kubernetes pod, use Kolla as an example repo:

git clone http://github.com/stackforge/kolla

cd kolla/k8s/pod
magnum pod-create --pod-file ./mariadb-pod.yaml --bay-id $BAY_UUID

To start a kubernetes service, use Kolla as an example repo:

cd ../service
magnum service-create --service-file ./mariadb-service.yaml --bay-id $BAY_UUID

To start a kubernetes replication controller, use Kolla as an example repo:

cd ../replication
magnum rc-create --rc-file ./nova-compute-replicationyaml --bay-id $BAY_UUID

Full lifecycle and introspection operations for each object are supported. For exmaple, magnum bay-create magnum baymodel-delete, magnum rc-show, magnum service-list.

Building developer documentation

If you would like to build the documentation locally, eg. to test your documentation changes before uploading them for review, run these commands to build the documentation set:

# activate your development virtualenv
source .tox/venv/bin/activate

# build the docs
tox -egendocs
