Petr Kovar cf8b93918c Add install-guide for swift
This adds swift-specific contents from the OpenStack Installation Guide
in the swift repo per [1]. A separate change will remove the swift contents
from the OpenStack Installation Guide for Newton per [2].

The swift install-guide structure is based on the Install Guide
Cookiecutter [3].

Also adds tox.ini environment for install-guide and adds
openstackdocs-theme to test-requirements.txt.

Install and configure the storage nodes for Ubuntu and Debian
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This section describes how to install and configure storage nodes
that operate the account, container, and object services. For
simplicity, this configuration references two storage nodes, each
containing two empty local block storage devices. The instructions
use ``/dev/sdb`` and ``/dev/sdc``, but you can substitute different
values for your particular nodes.
Although Object Storage supports any file system with
extended attributes (xattr), testing and benchmarking
indicate the best performance and reliability on XFS. For
more information on horizontally scaling your environment, see the
`Deployment Guide <http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/deployment_guide.html>`_.
This section applies to Ubuntu 14.04 (LTS) and Debian.
Prerequisites
-------------
Before you install and configure the Object Storage service on the
storage nodes, you must prepare the storage devices.
.. note::
Perform these steps on each storage node.
#. Install the supporting utility packages:
.. code-block:: console
# apt-get install xfsprogs rsync
#. Format the ``/dev/sdb`` and ``/dev/sdc`` devices as XFS:
.. code-block:: console
# mkfs.xfs /dev/sdb
# mkfs.xfs /dev/sdc
#. Create the mount point directory structure:
.. code-block:: console
# mkdir -p /srv/node/sdb
# mkdir -p /srv/node/sdc
#. Edit the ``/etc/fstab`` file and add the following to it:
.. code-block:: none
/dev/sdb /srv/node/sdb xfs noatime,nodiratime,nobarrier,logbufs=8 0 2
/dev/sdc /srv/node/sdc xfs noatime,nodiratime,nobarrier,logbufs=8 0 2
#. Mount the devices:
.. code-block:: console
# mount /srv/node/sdb
# mount /srv/node/sdc
#. Create or edit the ``/etc/rsyncd.conf`` file to contain the following:
.. code-block:: none
uid = swift
gid = swift
log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
address = MANAGEMENT_INTERFACE_IP_ADDRESS
[account]
max connections = 2
path = /srv/node/
read only = False
lock file = /var/lock/account.lock
[container]
max connections = 2
path = /srv/node/
read only = False
lock file = /var/lock/container.lock
[object]
max connections = 2
path = /srv/node/
read only = False
lock file = /var/lock/object.lock
Replace ``MANAGEMENT_INTERFACE_IP_ADDRESS`` with the IP address of the
management network on the storage node.
.. note::
The ``rsync`` service requires no authentication, so consider running
it on a private network in production environments.
7. Edit the ``/etc/default/rsync`` file and enable the ``rsync``
service:
.. code-block:: none
RSYNC_ENABLE=true
8. Start the ``rsync`` service:
.. code-block:: console
# service rsync start
Install and configure components
--------------------------------
.. note::
Default configuration files vary by distribution. You might need
to add these sections and options rather than modifying existing
sections and options. Also, an ellipsis (``...``) in the configuration
snippets indicates potential default configuration options that you
should retain.
.. note::
Perform these steps on each storage node.
#. Install the packages:
.. code-block:: console
# apt-get install swift swift-account swift-container swift-object
2. Obtain the accounting, container, and object service configuration
files from the Object Storage source repository:
.. code-block:: console
# curl -o /etc/swift/account-server.conf https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/swift/plain/etc/account-server.conf-sample?h=stable/mitaka
# curl -o /etc/swift/container-server.conf https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/swift/plain/etc/container-server.conf-sample?h=stable/mitaka
# curl -o /etc/swift/object-server.conf https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/swift/plain/etc/object-server.conf-sample?h=stable/mitaka
3. .. include:: storage-include1.txt
4. .. include:: storage-include2.txt
5. .. include:: storage-include3.txt
6. Ensure proper ownership of the mount point directory structure:
.. code-block:: console
# chown -R swift:swift /srv/node
7. Create the ``recon`` directory and ensure proper ownership of it:
.. code-block:: console
# mkdir -p /var/cache/swift
# chown -R root:swift /var/cache/swift
# chmod -R 775 /var/cache/swift
