# What is Rally-OpenSack/xRally-OpenStack
|
|
|
|
Rally is tool & framework that allows one to write simple plugins and combine
|
|
them in complex tests scenarios that allows to perform all kinds of testing!
|
|
|
|
Rally-OpenStack is a package of Rally plugins for OpenStack platform.
|
|
|
|
# How to run and use xrally-openstack container
|
|
|
|
First of all, you need to pull the container. We suggest to use the last
|
|
tagged version:
|
|
|
|
# pull the 2.3.0 image (the latest release at the point of writing the note)
|
|
$ docker pull xrally/xrally-openstack:2.3.0
|
|
|
|
**WARNING: never attach folders and volumes to `/rally` inside the container. It can break everything.**
|
|
|
|
The default configuration file is located at `/etc/rally/rally.conf`. You
|
|
should not be aware of it. If you want to override some options, use
|
|
`/home/rally/.rally/rally.conf` location instead. Rally does not load all
|
|
configuration files, so the primary one will be used.
|
|
|
|
The default place for rally database file is `/home/rally/.rally/rally.sqlite`.
|
|
To make the storage persistent across all container runs, you may want to use
|
|
docker volumes or mount the directory.
|
|
|
|
* use docker volumes. It is the easiest way. You just need to do something like:
|
|
|
|
$ docker volume create --name rally_volume
|
|
$ docker run -v rally_volume:/home/rally/.rally xrally/xrally-openstack:2.3.0 env create --name "foo"
|
|
|
|
* mount outer directory inside the container
|
|
|
|
# you can create directory in whatever you want to place, but you
|
|
# may wish to make the data available for all users
|
|
$ sudo mkdir /var/lib/rally_container
|
|
|
|
# In order for the directory to be accessible by the Rally user
|
|
# (uid: 65500) inside the container, it must be accessible by UID
|
|
# 65500 *outside* the container as well, which is why it is created
|
|
# in ``/var/lib/rally_container``. Creating it in your home directory is
|
|
# only likely to work if your home directory has excessively open
|
|
# permissions (e.g., ``0755``), which is not recommended.
|
|
$ sudo chown 65500 /var/lib/rally_container
|
|
|
|
# As opposed to mounting docker image, you must initialize rally database*
|
|
$ docker run -v /var/lib/rally_container:/home/rally/.rally xrally/xrally-openstack:2.3.0 db create
|
|
|
|
# And finally, you can start doing your things.*
|
|
$ docker run -v /var/lib/rally_container:/home/rally/.rally xrally/xrally-openstack:2.3.0 env create --name "foo"
|
|
|
|
Have fun!
