Installation
============
Automated installation
----------------------
The easiest way to install Rally is by executing its `installation script
<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stackforge/rally/master/install_rally.sh>`_
.. code-block:: bash
wget -q -O- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openstack/rally/master/install_rally.sh | bash
# or using curl
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openstack/rally/master/install_rally.sh | bash
The installation script will also check if all the software required
by Rally is already installed in your system; if run as **root** user
and some dependency is missing it will ask you if you want to install
the required packages.
By default it will install Rally in a virtualenv in ``~/rally`` when
run as standard user, or install system wide when run as root. You can
install Rally in a venv by using the option ``--target``:
.. code-block:: bash
./install_rally.sh --target /foo/bar
You can also install Rally system wide by running script as root and
without ``--target`` option:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo ./install_rally.sh
Run ``./install_rally.sh`` with option ``--help`` to have a list of all
available options:
.. code-block:: console
$ ./install_rally.sh --help
Usage: install_rally.sh [options]
This script will install rally either in the system (as root) or in a virtual environment.
Options:
-h, --help Print this help text
-v, --verbose Verbose mode
-s, --system Instead of creating a virtualenv, install as
system package.
-d, --target DIRECTORY Install Rally virtual environment into DIRECTORY.
(Default: $HOME/rally).
-f, --overwrite Remove target directory if it already exists.
-y, --yes Do not ask for confirmation: assume a 'yes' reply
to every question.
-D, --dbtype TYPE Select the database type. TYPE can be one of
'sqlite', 'mysql', 'postgres'.
Default: sqlite
--db-user USER Database user to use. Only used when --dbtype
is either 'mysql' or 'postgres'.
--db-password PASSWORD Password of the database user. Only used when
--dbtype is either 'mysql' or 'postgres'.
--db-host HOST Database host. Only used when --dbtype is
either 'mysql' or 'postgres'
--db-name NAME Name of the database. Only used when --dbtype is
either 'mysql' or 'postgres'
-p, --python EXE The python interpreter to use. Default: /usr/bin/python.
**Notes:** the script will check if all the software required by Rally
is already installed in your system. If this is not the case, it will
exit, suggesting you the command to issue **as root** in order to
install the dependencies.
You also have to set up the **Rally database** after the installation is complete:
.. code-block:: bash
rally-manage db recreate
Rally with DevStack all-in-one installation
-------------------------------------------
It is also possible to install Rally with DevStack. First, clone the corresponding repositories:
.. code-block:: bash
git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack-dev/devstack
git clone https://github.com/openstack/rally
Then, configure DevStack to run Rally. First, create your ``local.conf`` file:
.. code-block:: bash
cd devstack
cp samples/local.conf local.conf
Next, edit local.conf:
add ``enable_plugin rally https://github.com/openstack/rally master`` to ``[[local|localrc]]`` section.
Finally, run DevStack as usually:
.. code-block:: bash
./stack.sh
Rally & Docker
--------------
First you need to install Docker; Docker supplies `installation
instructions for various OSes
<https://docs.docker.com/installation/>`_.
You can either use the official Rally Docker image, or build your own
from the Rally source. To do that, change directory to the root directory of the
Rally git repository and run:
.. code-block:: bash
docker build -t myrally .
If you build your own Docker image, substitute ``myrally`` for
``rallyforge/rally`` in the commands below.
The Rally Docker image is configured to store local settings and the
database in the user's home directory. For persistence of these data,
you may want to keep this directory outside of the container. This may
be done by the following steps:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo mkdir /var/lib/rally_container
sudo chown 65500 /var/lib/rally_container
docker run -it -v /var/lib/rally_container:/home/rally rallyforge/rally
.. note::
In order for the volume 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``. 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.
You may want to save the last command as an alias:
.. code-block:: bash
echo 'alias dock_rally="docker run -it -v /var/lib/rally_container:/home/rally rallyforge/rally"' >> ~/.bashrc
After executing ``dock_rally``, or ``docker run ...``, you will have
bash running inside the container with Rally installed. You may do
anything with Rally, but you need to create the database first:
.. code-block:: console
user@box:~/rally$ dock_rally
rally@1cc98e0b5941:~$ rally-manage db recreate
rally@1cc98e0b5941:~$ rally deployment list
There are no deployments. To create a new deployment, use:
rally deployment create
rally@1cc98e0b5941:~$
In case you have SELinux enabled and Rally fails to create the
database, try executing the following commands to put SELinux into
Permissive Mode on the host machine
.. code-block:: bash
sed -i 's/SELINUX=enforcing/SELINUX=permissive/' /etc/selinux/config
setenforce permissive
Rally currently has no SELinux policy, which is why it must be run in
Permissive mode for certain configurations. If you can help create an
SELinux policy for Rally, please contribute!
