Marconi

Message queuing service for OpenStack

Running a local Marconi server with MongoDB

Note: These instructions are for running a local instance of Marconi and not all of these steps are required. It is assumed you have MongoDB installed and running.

  1. From your home folder create the ~/.marconi folder and clone the repo:

    $ cd
    $ mkdir .marconi
    $ git clone https://github.com/openstack/marconi.git
  2. Copy the Marconi config files to the directory ~/.marconi:

    $ cp marconi/etc/marconi-proxy.conf-sample ~/.marconi/marconi-proxy.conf
    $ cp marconi/etc/marconi-queues.conf-sample ~/.marconi/marconi-queues.conf
    $ cp marconi/etc/logging.conf-sample ~/.marconi/logging.conf
  3. Find the [drivers:storage:mongodb] section in ~/.marconi/marconi-queues.conf and modify the URI to point to your local mongod instance:

    uri = mongodb://$MONGODB_HOST:$MONGODB_PORT
  4. For logging, find the [DEFAULT] section in ~/.marconi/marconi-queues.conf and modify as desired:

    log_file = server.log
  5. Change directories back to your local copy of the repo:

    $ cd marconi
  6. Run the following so you can see the results of any changes you make to the code without having to reinstall the package each time:

    $ pip install -e .
  7. Start the Marconi server:

    $ marconi-server
  8. Test out that Marconi is working by creating a queue:

    $ curl -i -X PUT http://127.0.0.1:8888/v1/queues/samplequeue -H
    "Content-type: application/json" -d '{"metadata": "Sample Queue"}'

You should get an HTTP 201 along with some headers that will look similar to this:

HTTP/1.0 201 Created
