On servers with more restrictive SSH server configurations, it's important to ensure that both the root and stack users have public key access, and that the SSH server doesn't impose any unreasonable timeouts on the client. This documentation update suggests in advance what the operator can do to ensure these conditions are met. Change-Id: Ia0ebcf30b45ed85815c8331a6aa2d5e3995ce5b9

tripleo-quickstart
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
One of the barriers to entry for trying out TripleO and its derivatives has
|
|
been the relative difficulty in getting an environment up quickly.
|
|
|
|
This set of ansible roles is meant to help.
|
|
|
|
Quickstart's default deployment method uses a physical machine, which is
|
|
referred to as ``$VIRTHOST`` throughout this documentation. On this physical
|
|
machine Quickstart sets up multiple virtual machines (VMs) and virtual networks
|
|
using libvirt.
|
|
|
|
One of the VMs is set up as **undercloud**, an all-in-one OpenStack cloud used
|
|
by system administrators to deploy the **overcloud**, the end-user facing
|
|
OpenStack installation, usually consisting of multiple VMs.
|
|
|
|
You will need a ``$VIRTHOST`` with at least **16 GB** of RAM, preferably **32
|
|
GB**, and you must be able to ``ssh`` to the virthost machine as root without a
|
|
password from the machine running ansible. Currently the virthost machine must
|
|
be running a recent Red Hat-based Linux distribution (CentOS 7, RHEL 7, Fedora
|
|
22 - only CentOS 7 is currently tested), but we hope to add support for non-Red
|
|
Hat distributions too.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Running quickstart.sh commands as root is not suggested or supported.
|
|
|
|
The SSH server on your ``$VIRTHOST`` must be accessible via public keys for
|
|
both the root and stack users.
|
|
|
|
A quick way to test that root to your virthost machine is ready to rock is::
|
|
|
|
ssh root@$VIRTHOST uname -a
|
|
|
|
The ``stack`` user is not added until the quickstart deploy runs, so this cannot
|
|
be tested in advance. However, if you lock down on a per-user basis, ensure
|
|
``AllowUsers`` includes ``stack``.
|
|
|
|
Timeouts can be an issue if the SSH server is configured to disconnect users
|
|
after periods of inactivity. This can be addressed for example by::
|
|
|
|
ClientAliveInterval 120
|
|
ClientAliveCountMax 720
|
|
|
|
The quickstart defaults are meant to "just work", so it is as easy as
|
|
downloading and running the ``quickstart.sh`` script.
|
|
|
|
Getting the script
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
You can download the ``quickstart.sh`` script with ``curl``::
|
|
|
|
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openstack/tripleo-quickstart/master/quickstart.sh
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can clone this repository and run the script from there.
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
You need some software available on your local system before you can run
|
|
``quickstart.sh``. You can install the necessary dependencies by running::
|
|
|
|
bash quickstart.sh --install-deps
|
|
|
|
Deploying with instructions
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
Deploy your virtual environment by running::
|
|
|
|
bash quickstart.sh $VIRTHOST
|
|
|
|
Where ``$VIRTHOST`` is the name of the host on which you want to install your
|
|
virtual triple0 environment. The ``quickstart.sh`` script will install this
|
|
repository along with ansible in a virtual environment on your Ansible host and
|
|
run the quickstart playbook. Note, the quickstart playbook will delete the
|
|
``stack`` user on ``$VIRTHOST`` and recreate it.
|
|
|
|
This script will output instructions at the end to access the deployed
|
|
undercloud. If a release name is not given, ``newton`` is used.
|
|
|
|
Deploying without instructions
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
bash quickstart.sh --tags all $VIRTHOST
|
|
|
|
You may choose to execute an end to end deployment without displaying the
|
|
instructions and scripts provided by default. Using the ``--tags all`` flag
|
|
will instruct quickstart to provision the environment and deploy both the
|
|
undercloud and overcloud. Additionally a validation test will be executed to
|
|
ensure the overcloud is functional.
|
|
|
|
Deploying on localhost
|
|
----------------------
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
bash quickstart.sh 127.0.0.2
|
|
|
|
Please note the following when using quickstart to deploy tripleo directly on
|
|
localhost. Use the loopback address ``127.0.0.2`` in lieu of localhost as
|
|
localhost is reserved by ansible and will not work correctly. The deployment
|
|
should pass, however you may not be able to ssh to the overcloud nodes
|
|
while using the default ssh config file. The ssh config file that is generated
|
|
by quickstart e.g. ``~/.quickstart/ssh.config.ansible`` will try to proxy
|
|
through the localhost to ssh to the localhost and will cause an error
|
|
if ssh is not setup to support it.
|
|
|
|
Enable Developer mode
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
If you are working on TripleO upstream development, and need to reproduce what
|
|
runs in tripleo-ci, you will want to use developer mode.
|
|
|
|
This will fetch the images produced by tripleo-ci instead of the ones produced
|
|
by RDO. The incantation for a job using the quickstart defaults other than
|
|
developer mode would be::
|
|
|
|
bash devmode.sh $VIRTHOST
|
|
|
|
The full set of developer mode instructions are available in :ref:`devmode`
|
|
|
|
Feature Configuration and Nodes
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
In previous versions of triple-quickstart a config file was used to determine
|
|
not only the features that would be enabled in tripleo and openstack but also
|
|
the number of nodes to be used. For instance "config/general_config/ha.yml" would
|
|
configure pacemaker and ensure three controller nodes were provisioned. This type
|
|
of configuration is now deprecated but will still work through the Queens release.
|
|
|
|
The feature and node configuration have been separated into two distinct
|
|
configuration files to allow users to explicity select the configuration known as
|
|
"feature sets" and the nodes to be provisioned. The feature set configuration
|
|
can be found under tripleo-quickstart/config/general_config/ and the node
|
|
configuration can be found under tripleo-quickstart/config/nodes/
|
|
|
|
A more in depth description of the feature sets can be found in the documentation
|
|
under :ref:`feature-configuration`
|
|
|
|
A more in depth description of how to configure nodes can be found in the
|
|
documentation under :ref:`node-configuration`
|
|
|
|
Working With Quickstart Extras
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
TripleO Quickstart is more than just a tool for quickly deploying a single machine
|
|
TripleO instance; it is an easily extensible framework for deploying OpenStack.
|
|
|
|
For a how-to please see :ref:`working-with-extras`
|
|
|
|
Setting up libvirt guests only
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
At times it is useful to only setup or provision libvirt guests without installing any
|
|
TripleO code or rpms. The tripleo-quickstart git repository is designed to provision
|
|
libvirt guest environments. Some may be familiar with an older TripleO tool called
|
|
instack-virt-setup, these steps would replace that function.
|
|
|
|
To deploy the undercloud node uninstalled and empty or blank overcloud nodes
|
|
do the following.::
|
|
|
|
bash quickstart.sh --tags all --playbook quickstart.yml $VIRTHOST
|
|
|
|
To only deploy one node, the undercloud node do the following.::
|
|
|
|
bash quickstart.sh --tags all --playbook quickstart.yml -e overcloud_nodes="" $VIRTHOST
|
