====================================
Development Environment with Vagrant
====================================
This guide describes how to use `Vagrant <http://vagrantup.com>`__ to
assist in developing for Kolla.
Vagrant is a tool to assist in scripted creation of virtual machines. Vagrant
takes care of setting up CentOS-based VMs for Kolla development, each with
proper hardware like memory amount and number of network interfaces.
Getting Started
===============
The Vagrant script implements All-in-One (AIO) or multi-node deployments. AIO
is the default.
In the case of multi-node deployment, the Vagrant setup builds a cluster with
the following nodes by default:
- 3 control nodes
- 1 compute node
- 1 storage node (Note: ceph requires at least 3 storage nodes)
- 1 network node
- 1 operator node
The cluster node count can be changed by editing the Vagrantfile.
Kolla runs from the operator node to deploy OpenStack.
All nodes are connected with each other on the secondary NIC. The
primary NIC is behind a NAT interface for connecting with the Internet.
The third NIC is connected without IP configuration to a public bridge
interface. This may be used for Neutron/Nova to connect to instances.
Start by downloading and installing the Vagrant package for the distro of
choice. Various downloads can be found at the `Vagrant downloads
<https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html>`__.
On Fedora 22 it is as easy as::
sudo dnf install vagrant ruby-devel libvirt-devel libvirt-python
On Ubuntu 14.04 it is as easy as::
sudo apt-get install vagrant ruby-dev ruby-libvirt python-libvirt libvirt-dev nfs-kernel-server
**Note:** Many distros ship outdated versions of Vagrant by default. When in
doubt, always install the latest from the downloads page above.
Next install the hostmanager plugin so all hosts are recorded in /etc/hosts
(inside each vm)::
vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostmanager
Vagrant supports a wide range of virtualization technologies. This
documentation describes libvirt. To install vagrant-libvirt plugin::
vagrant plugin install --plugin-version ">= 0.0.31" vagrant-libvirt
Some Linux distributions offer vagrant-libvirt packages, but the version they
provide tends to be too old to run Kolla. A version of >= 0.0.31 is required.
Setup NFS to permit file sharing between host and VMs. Contrary to the rsync
method, NFS allows both way synchronization and offers much better performance
than VirtualBox shared folders. On Fedora 22::
sudo systemctl start nfs-server
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=2049/udp
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=2049/tcp
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=111/udp
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=111/tcp
sudo systemctl restart firewalld
Ensure your system has libvirt and associated software installed and setup
correctly. On Fedora 22::
sudo dnf install @virtualization
sudo systemctl start libvirtd
sudo systemctl enable libvirtd
Find a location in the system's home directory and checkout the Kolla repo::
git clone https://github.com/openstack/kolla.git
Developers can now tweak the Vagrantfile or bring up the default AIO
CentOS 7-based environment::
cd kolla/dev/vagrant && vagrant up
The command ``vagrant status`` provides a quick overview of the VMs composing
the environment.
Vagrant Up
==========
Once Vagrant has completed deploying all nodes, the next step is to launch
Kolla. First, connect with the *operator* node::
vagrant ssh operator
To speed things up, there is a local registry running on the operator. All
nodes are configured so they can use this insecure repo to pull from, and use
it as a mirror. Ansible may use this registry to pull images from.
All nodes have a local folder shared between the group and the hypervisor, and
a folder shared between *all* nodes and the hypervisor. This mapping is lost
after reboots, so make sure to use the command ``vagrant reload <node>`` when
reboots are required. Having this shared folder provides a method to supply
a different docker binary to the cluster. The shared folder is also used to
store the docker-registry files, so they are save from destructive operations
like ``vagrant destroy``.
Building images
---------------
Once logged on the *operator* VM call the ``kolla-build`` utility::
kolla-build
``kolla-build`` accept arguments as documented in :doc:`image-building`. It
builds Docker images and pushes them to the local registry if the *push*
option is enabled (in Vagrant this is the default behaviour).
Deploying OpenStack with Kolla
------------------------------
Deploy AIO with::
sudo kolla-ansible deploy
Deploy multinode with::
sudo kolla-ansible deploy -i /usr/share/kolla/ansible/inventory/multinode
Validate OpenStack is operational::
kolla-ansible post-deploy
source /etc/kolla/admin-openrc.sh
openstack user list
Or navigate to http://10.10.10.254/ with a web browser.
