Most of the tempest utilities need at least a partially setup configuration file to work properly. This is because most of them make api requests in order to perform the expected operations. This causes a bit of a chicken and egg problem when we rely on these utilities for configuration purposes since we don't know if we have enough of a configuration file to run things. This previously wasn't an issue because all we needed to run was verify-tempest config and it wasn't in a critical path just for api extension discovery and it wasn't relied on. But, with the addition of tempest preprovisioned credentials we rely on a tempest util to create the credentials we use for running things. We need to ensure the util has as complete of a config file when it's run to ensure that everything is in the correct state. This commit moves the running of all tempest utils and the associated iniset calls to the end of the configure_tempest function to ensure that the utils have as complete a config file as possible. Additionally, it makes all tempest util calls are venv isolated. (which is mostly future proofing for when things are branched on stable) Change-Id: I5844aed4e134fbc7210aa0eca83500e260915b7b |

DevStack is a set of scripts and utilities to quickly deploy an OpenStack cloud.
Goals
- To quickly build dev OpenStack environments in a clean Ubuntu or Fedora environment
- To describe working configurations of OpenStack (which code branches work together? what do config files look like for those branches?)
- To make it easier for developers to dive into OpenStack so that they can productively contribute without having to understand every part of the system at once
- To make it easy to prototype cross-project features
- To provide an environment for the OpenStack CI testing on every commit to the projects

IMPORTANT: Be sure to carefully read stack.sh
and any other scripts you
execute before you run them, as they install software and will alter your
networking configuration. We strongly recommend that you run stack.sh
in a clean and disposable vm when you are first getting started.
Versions
The DevStack master branch generally points to trunk versions of OpenStack components. For older, stable versions, look for branches named stable/[release] in the DevStack repo. For example, you can do the following to create a juno OpenStack cloud:
git checkout stable/juno
./stack.sh
You can also pick specific OpenStack project releases by setting the appropriate
*_BRANCH
variables in the localrc
section of local.conf
(look in
stackrc
for the default set). Usually just before a release there will be
milestone-proposed branches that need to be tested::
GLANCE_REPO=git://git.openstack.org/openstack/glance.git
GLANCE_BRANCH=milestone-proposed
Start A Dev Cloud
Installing in a dedicated disposable VM is safer than installing on your dev machine! Plus you can pick one of the supported Linux distros for your VM. To start a dev cloud run the following NOT AS ROOT (see DevStack Execution Environment below for more on user accounts):
./stack.sh
When the script finishes executing, you should be able to access OpenStack endpoints, like so:
- Horizon: http://myhost/
- Keystone: http://myhost:5000/v2.0/
We also provide an environment file that you can use to interact with your cloud via CLI:
# source openrc file to load your environment with OpenStack CLI creds
. openrc
# list instances
nova list
DevStack Execution Environment
DevStack runs rampant over the system it runs on, installing things and uninstalling other things. Running this on a system you care about is a recipe for disappointment, or worse. Alas, we're all in the virtualization business here, so run it in a VM. And take advantage of the snapshot capabilities of your hypervisor of choice to reduce testing cycle times. You might even save enough time to write one more feature before the next feature freeze...
stack.sh
needs to have root access for a lot of tasks, but uses
sudo
for all of those tasks. However, it needs to be not-root for
most of its work and for all of the OpenStack services. stack.sh
specifically does not run if started as root.
DevStack will not automatically create the user, but provides a helper
script in tools/create-stack-user.sh
. Run that (as root!) or just
check it out to see what DevStack's expectations are for the account
it runs under. Many people simply use their usual login (the default
'ubuntu' login on a UEC image for example).
Customizing
DevStack can be extensively configured via the configuration file
local.conf
. It is likely that you will need to provide and modify
this file if you want anything other than the most basic setup. Start
by reading the configuration guide for
details of the configuration file and the many available options.
