Steven Dake d0403fcd67 Add warnings about running on F22 and later
The supermin tool in the centos container needs to be updated
to supoprt reading kernel modules with the .xz compressed format
that Fedora 22 introduces as a new feature.

# Developer Environment
If you are developing Kolla on an existing OpenStack cloud
that supports Heat, then follow the Heat template [README][].
Otherwise, follow the instructions below to manually create
your Kolla development environment.
[README]: https://github.com/stackforge/kolla/blob/master/devenv/README.md
## Installing Dependencies
NB: Kolla will not run on Fedora 22 or later. Fedora 22 compresses kernel
modules with the .xz compressed format. The guestfs system cannot read
these images because a dependent package supermin in CentOS needs to be
updated to add .xz compressed format support.
In order to run Kolla, it is mandatory to run a version of `docker-compose`
that includes pid: host support. The `docker-compose` master repository
includes support but the pip packaged version of 1.2.0 does not. We expect
the pip packaged version of docker-compose 1.3.0 to include the necessary
features, so these next steps won't be necessary if installed from pip or
distro packaging.
git clone http://github.com/docker/compose
cd compose
sudo pip install -e .
In order to run Kolla, it is mandatory to run a version of `docker`
that is 1.7.0-dev or later. Docker 1.5.0 has a defect in `--pid=host`
support where the libvirt container cannot be stopped. Docker 1.6.0 lacks
specific features needed by the master of Kolla. Docker 1.7.0-dev introduces
mount propogation which is necessary for Neutron thin containers
and bindmounting of the /dev filesystem which is mandatory for the cinder
container.
If a version of Docker less than 1.7.0-dev is running on your system, stop it:
sudo systemctl stop docker
sudo killall -9 docker
If using an RPM based system, use the Docker 1.7.0-dev RPMs provided by the
Fedora project:
sudo rpm -Uvh --nodeps https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/docker/1.7.0/6.git56481a3.fc23/x86_64/docker-1.7.0-6.git56481a3.fc23.x86_64.rpm
For Debian based systems, use the Docker installation tool provided by Docker,
Inc.:
curl -sSL https://test.docker.com/ | sh
For Ubuntu based systems, use the Docker installation tool provided by Docker,
Inc.:
curl -sSL https://test.docker.com/ubuntu | sh
Next, install the OpenStack python clients if they are not installed:
sudo yum install python-keystoneclient python-glanceclient \
python-novaclient python-heatclient python-neutronclient
Finally stop libvirt on the host machine. Only one copy of libvirt may be
running at a time.
service libvirtd stop
The basic starting environment will be created using `docker-compose`.
This environment will start up the OpenStack services listed in the
compose directory.
## Starting Kolla
To start, setup your environment variables.
$ cd kolla
$ ./tools/genenv
The `genenv` script will create a compose/openstack.env file
and an openrc file in your current directory. The openstack.env
file contains all of your initialized environment variables, which
you can edit for a different setup.
A mandatory step is customizing the FLAT_INTERFACE network interface
environment variable. The variable defaults to eth1. In some cases, the
second interface in a system may not be eth1, but a unique name. For
example with an Intel driver, the interface is enp1s0. The interface name
can be determined by executing the ifconfig tool. The second interface must
be a real interface, not a virtual interface. Make certain to store the
interface name in `compose/openstack.env`:
NEUTRON_FLAT_NETWORK_INTERFACE=enp1s0
FLAT_INTERFACE=enp1s0
Next, run the start command:
$ sudo ./tools/kolla start
Finally, run the status command:
$ sudo ./tools/kolla status
This will display information about all Kolla containers.
## Debugging Kolla
All Docker commands should be run from the directory of the Docker binary,
by default this is `/`.
The `start` command to Kolla is responsible for starting the containers
using `docker-compose -f <service-container> up -d`.
If you want to start a container set by hand use this template:
$ docker-compose -f glance-api-registry.yml up -d
You can determine a container's status by executing:
$ sudo ./docker ps -a
If any of the containers exited you can check the logs by executing:
$ sudo ./docker logs <container-id>
$ docker-compose logs <container-id>
If you want to start a individual service like `glance-api` manually, use
this template. This is a good method to test and troubleshoot an individual
container. Note some containers require special options. Reference the
compose yml specification for more details:
$ sudo ./docker run --name glance-api -d \
--net=host \
--env-file=compose/openstack.env \
kollaglue/fedora-rdo-glance-api:latest
