#. Set up a containers registry (optional) and prepare container images
configuration.
See :ref:`prepare-environment-containers` for details on the containers
images preparations. The described workflow is applicable both for
overclouds and underclouds. Additional ``docker_insecure_registries`` and
``docker_registry_mirror`` parameters allow to customize container registries
via the ``undercloud.conf`` file.
.. note:: Local undercloud containers registry is not suitable for real
deployments. For production use, it is highly recommended that you use an
external container registry.
See :ref:`populate-local-registry-containers` for details on managing
containers images data populated into registries.
Once you have a containers images configuration file prepared and
containers images populated into registries, the images config file should
be explicitly specified in ``undercloud.conf: container_images_file``.
#. Override heat parameters and environment files used for undercloud
deployment.
Similarly to overcloud deployments, see :ref:`override-heat-templates` and
:ref:`custom-template-location`, the ``undercloud.conf: custom_env_files``
and ``undercloud.conf: templates`` configuration parameters allow to
use a custom heat templates location and override or specify additional
information for Heat resources used for undercloud deployment.
Additionally, the ``undercloud.conf: roles_file`` parameter brings in the
ultimate flexibility of :ref:`custom_roles` and :ref:`composable_services`.
This allows you to deploy an undercloud composed of highly customized
containerized services, with the same workflow that TripleO uses for
overcloud deployments.
.. note:: The CLI and configuration interface used to deploy a containerized
undercloud is the same as that used by 'legacy' non-containerized
underclouds. As noted above however mechanism by which the undercloud is
actually deployed is completely changed and what is more, for the first
time aligns with the overcloud deployment. See the command
``openstack tripleo deploy --standalone`` help for details.
That interface extention for standalone clouds is experimental for Rocky.
It is normally should not be used directly for undercloud installations.

Once the install has completed, you should take note of the files ``stackrc`` and

contains the passwords used for each service in the undercloud. These passwords

file contains the passwords used for each service in the undercloud. These passwords
will be automatically reused if the undercloud is reinstalled on the same system,
so it is not necessary to copy them to ``undercloud.conf``.
.. note:: Heat installer configuration, logs and state is ephemeral for
undercloud deployments. Generated artifacts for consequent deployments get
overwritten or removed (when ``undercloud.conf: cleanup = true``).
Although, you can still find them stored in compressed files.
Miscellaneous undercloud deployment artifacts, like processed heat templates and
compressed files, can be found in ``undercloud.conf: output_dir`` locations
like ``~/tripleo-heat-installer-templates``.
There is also a compressed file created and placed into the output dir, named as
``undercloud-install-<TS>.tar.bzip2``, where TS represents a timestamp.
Downloaded ansible playbooks and inventory files (see :ref:`config_download`)
used for undercloud deployment are stored in the tempdir
``~/undercloud-ansible-<XXXX>`` by default.

Any passwords set in ``undercloud.conf`` will take precedence over the ones in
``undercloud-passwords.conf``.

Updating Undercloud Components
------------------------------
.. note::
Instack-undercloud is deprecated in Rocky cycle. Instack undercloud can
only be upgraded to containerized undercloud. See
:doc:`../containers_deployment/undercloud`
for backward compatibility related information.
#. Before upgrading the undercloud, it is highly suggested to perform
a :doc:`backup <../controlplane_backup_restore/01_undercloud_backup>`
of the undercloud and validate that a restore works fine.
