Steven Dake 233864ff32 Rename docs dir to doc for publishing
The publishing docs expect the documentation to be present in the
/doc directory not the /docs directory.  If the documentation is in
the /docs directory, according to fungi the docs won't be published
properly.

Kolla with Ansible!
===================
Kolla supports deploying Openstack using
`Ansible <https://docs.ansible.com>`__.
Getting Started
---------------
To run the Ansible playbooks, an inventory file which tracks all of the
available nodes in the environment must be specified. With this
inventory file Ansible will log into each node via ssh (configurable)
and run tasks. Ansible does not require password-less logins via ssh,
however it is highly recommended to setup ssh-keys.
Two sample inventory files are provided, *all-in-one*, and *multinode*.
The "all-in-one" inventory defaults to use the Ansible "local"
connection type, which removes the need to setup ssh keys in order to
get started quickly.
More information on the Ansible inventory file can be found in the Ansible
`inventory introduction <https://docs.ansible.com/intro_inventory.html>`__.
Prerequisites
-------------
On the deployment host you must have Ansible>=1.8.4 installed. That is
the only requirement for deploying. To build the images locally you must
also have the Python library docker-py>=1.2.0 installed.
On the target nodes you must have docker>=1.6.0 and docker-py>=1.2.0
installed.
Deploying
---------
Add the etc/kolla directory to /etc/kolla on the deployment host. Inside
of this directory are two files and a minimum number of parameters which
are listed below.
All variables for the environment can be specified in the files:
"/etc/kolla/globals.yml" and "/etc/kolla/passwords.yml"
The kolla\_\*\_address variables can both be the same. Please specify
an unused IP address in your network to act as a VIP for
kolla\_internal\_address. The VIP will be used with keepalived and
added to your "api\_interface" as specified in the globals.yml
::
kolla_external_address: "openstack.example.com"
kolla_internal_address: "10.10.10.254"
The "network\_interface" variable is the interface that we bind all our
services to. For example, when starting up Mariadb it will bind to the
IP on the interface list in the "network\_interface" variable.
::
network_interface: "eth0"
The "neutron\_external\_interface" variable is the interface that will
be used for your external bridge in Neutron. Without this bridge your
instance traffic will be unable to access the rest of the Internet. In
the case of a single interface on a machine, you may use a veth pair
where one end of the veth pair is listed here and the other end is in a
bridge on your system.
::
neutron_external_interface: "eth1"
The docker\_pull\_policy specifies whether Docker should always pull
images from the repository it is configured for, or only in the case
where the image isn't present locally. If you are building your own
images locally without pushing them to the Docker Registry, or a local
registry, you must set this value to "missing" or when you run the
playbooks docker will attempt to fetch the latest image upstream.
::
docker_pull_policy: "always"
For All-In-One deploys, the following commands can be run. These will
setup all of the containers on the localhost. These commands will be
wrapped in the kolla-script in the future.
::
cd ./kolla/ansible
ansible-playbook -i inventory/all-in-one -e @/etc/kolla/globals.yml -e @/etc/kolla/passwords.yml site.yml
To run the playbooks for only a particular service, Ansible tags can be
used. Multiple tags may be specified, and order is still determined by
the playbooks.
::
cd ./kolla/ansible
ansible-playbook -i inventory/all-in-one -e @/etc/kolla/globals.yml -e @/etc/kolla/passwords.yml site.yml --tags rabbitmq
ansible-playbook -i inventory/all-in-one -e @/etc/kolla/globals.yml -e @/etc/kolla/passwords.yml site.yml --tags rabbitmq,mariadb
Finally, you can view ./kolla/tools/openrc-example for an example of an
openrc you can use with your environment. If you wish you may also run
the following command to initiate your environment with an glance image
and neutron networks.
::
cd ./kolla/tools
./init-runonce
