Adding a new service
====================
When adding a role for a new service in Ansible, there are couple of patterns
which Kolla uses throughout and which should be followed.
* The sample inventories
Entries should be added for the service in each of
``ansible/inventory/multinode`` and ``ansible/inventory/all-in-one``.
* The playbook
The main playbook that ties all roles together is in ``ansible/site.yml``,
this should be updated with appropriate roles, tags, and conditions. Ensure
also that supporting hosts such as haproxy are updated when necessary.
* The common role
A ``common`` role exists which sets up logging, ``kolla-toolbox`` and other
supporting components. This should be included in all services within
``meta/main.yml`` of your role.
* Common tasks
All services should include the following tasks:
- ``deploy.yml`` : Used to bootstrap, configure and deploy containers
for the service.
- ``reconfigure.yml`` : Used to push new configuration files to the host
and restart the service.
- ``pull.yml`` : Used to pre fetch the image into the Docker image cache
on hosts, to speed up initial deploys.
- ``upgrade.yml`` : Used for upgrading the service in a rolling fashion. May
include service specific setup and steps as not all services can be
upgraded in the same way.
* Log rotation
- For OpenStack services there should be a ``cron-logrotate-PROJECT.conf.j2``
template file in ``ansible/roles/common/templates`` with the following
content:
.. path ansible/roles/common/templates/cron-logrotate-PROJECT.conf.j2
.. code-block:: console
"/var/log/kolla/PROJECT/*.log"
{
}
- For OpenStack services there should be an entry in the ``services`` list
in the ``cron.json.j2`` template file in ``ansible/roles/common/templates``.
* Log delivery
- For OpenStack services the service should add a new ``rewriterule`` in the
``match`` element in the ``01-rewrite.conf.j2`` template file in
``ansible/roles/common/templates/conf/filter`` to deliver log messages to
Elasticsearch.
* Documentation
- For OpenStack services there should be an entry in the list
``OpenStack services`` in the ``README.rst`` file.
- For infrastructure services there should be an entry in the list
``Infrastructure components`` in the ``README.rst`` file.
* Syntax
- All YAML data files should start with three dashes (``---``).
Other than the above, most service roles abide by the following pattern:
- ``Register``: Involves registering the service with Keystone, creating
endpoints, roles, users, etc.
- ``Config``: Distributes the config files to the nodes to be pulled into
the container on startup.
- ``Bootstrap``: Creating the database (but not tables), database user for
the service, permissions, etc.
- ``Bootstrap Service``: Starts a one shot container on the host to create
the database tables, and other initial run time config.
Ansible handlers are used to create or restart containers when necessary.
