Setting up a development environment with devstack

This page describes how to setup a working development environment that can be used in deploying qinling on latest releases of Ubuntu. These instructions assume you are already familiar with git. Refer to Getting the code for additional information.

Following these instructions will allow you to have a fully functional qinling environment using the devstack project (a shell script to build complete OpenStack development environments) on Ubuntu 16.04.

Configuring devstack with qinling

Qinling can be enabled in devstack by using the plug-in based interface it offers.

Note

The following steps have been fully verified only on Ubuntu 16.04.

Start by cloning the devstack repository:

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

Change to devstack directory:

cd devstack/

Copy the local.conf sample file to the upper level directory:

cp samples/local.conf .

Enable the qinling plugin adding the following lines to the end of the local.conf file:

ENABLED_SERVICES=rabbit,mysql,key,tempest
enable_plugin qinling https://github.com/openstack/qinling
LIBS_FROM_GIT="python-qinlingclient"

Running devstack

Note

Before running devstack, make sure there is a loopback device defined in /etc/hosts file, 127.0.1.1 localhost is recommended, any line including '127.0.0.1' will be deleted automatically during devstack running.

Run the stack.sh script:

./stack.sh

After it completes, verify qinling service is installed properly:

$ source openrc admin admin
$ openstack service list
+----------------------------------+----------+----------+
| ID                               | Name     | Type     |
+----------------------------------+----------+----------+
| 60145bf464f943aa88613026bd6aa5e3 | qinling  | function |
| 750ec7b067b7465bab2389e331f826de | keystone | identity |
+----------------------------------+----------+----------+
$ openstack runtime list --print-empty
+----+------+-------+--------+-------------+------------+------------+------------+
| Id | Name | Image | Status | Description | Project_id | Created_at | Updated_at |
+----+------+-------+--------+-------------+------------+------------+------------+
+----+------+-------+--------+-------------+------------+------------+------------+

Kubernetes Integration

By default, Qinling uses Kubernetes as its orchestrator backend, so a k8s all-in-one environment (and some other related tools, e.g. kubectl) is also setup during devstack installation.

The idea and most of the scripts are coming from OpenStack-Helm project originally, but may be probably changed as the project evolving in future.
