These instructions assume that you are familiar with Git. Refer to GettingTheCode_ for additional information. .. _GettingTheCode: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Getting_The_Code Virtual environments -------------------- Use virtualenv_ to track and manage Python dependencies for developing and testing Zaqar. Using virtualenv_ enables you to install Python dependencies in an isolated virtual environment, instead of installing the packages at the system level. .. _virtualenv: https://pypi.org/project/virtualenv .. note:: Virtualenv is useful for development purposes, but is not typically used for full integration testing or production usage. If you want to learn about production best practices, check out the `OpenStack Operations Guide`_. .. _`OpenStack Operations Guide`: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/OpsGuide Install GNU/Linux system dependencies ##################################### .. note:: This section is tested for Zaqar on Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty) and Fedora-based (RHEL 6.1) distributions. Feel free to add notes and change according to your experiences or operating system. Learn more about contributing to Zaqar documentation in the :doc:`welcome` manual. Install the prerequisite packages. On Ubuntu: .. code-block:: console $ sudo apt-get install gcc python-pip libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev python-dev zlib1g-dev On Fedora-based distributions (e.g., Fedora/RHEL/CentOS): .. code-block:: console $ sudo yum install gcc python-pip libxml2-devel libxslt-devel python-devel Install MongoDB ############### You also need to have MongoDB_ installed and running. .. _MongoDB: http://www.mongodb.org On Ubuntu, follow the instructions in the `MongoDB on Ubuntu Installation Guide`_. .. _`MongoDB on Ubuntu installation guide`: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/ On Fedora-based distributions, follow the instructions in the `MongoDB on Red Hat Enterprise, CentOS, Fedora, or Amazon Linux Installation Guide`_. .. _`MongoDB on Red Hat Enterprise, CentOS, Fedora, or Amazon Linux installation guide`: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-red-hat-centos-or-fedora-linux/ .. note:: If you are Contributor and plan to run Unit tests on Zaqar, you may want to add this line to mongodb configuration file (``etc/mongod.conf`` or ``etc/mongodb.conf`` depending on distribution): .. code-block:: ini smallfiles = true Many Zaqar's Unit tests do not clean up their testing databases after executing. And database files consume much disk space even if they do not contain any records. This behavior will be fixed soon. Getting the code ################ Get the code from git.openstack.org to create a local repository with Zaqar: .. code-block:: console $ git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack/zaqar.git Configuration ############# #. From your home folder create the ``~/.zaqar`` folder. This directory holds the configuration files for Zaqar: .. code-block:: console $ mkdir ~/.zaqar #. Generate the sample configuration file ``zaqar/etc/zaqar.conf.sample``: .. code-block:: console $ pip install tox $ cd zaqar $ tox -e genconfig #. Copy the Zaqar configuration samples to the directory ``~/.zaqar/``: .. code-block:: console $ cp etc/zaqar.conf.sample ~/.zaqar/zaqar.conf $ cp etc/logging.conf.sample ~/.zaqar/logging.conf #. Find the ``[drivers]`` section in ``~/.zaqar/zaqar.conf`` and specify ``mongodb`` as the message store: .. code-block:: ini message_store = mongodb management_store = mongodb #. Then find ``[drivers:message_store:mongodb]`` and ``[drivers:management_store:mongodb]`` sections and specify the :samp:`{URI}` to point to your local mongodb instance by adding this line to both the sections: .. code-block:: ini uri = mongodb://$MONGODB_HOST:$MONGODB_PORT By default you will have: .. code-block:: ini uri = mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017 This :samp:`{URI}` points to single mongodb node which of course is not reliable, so you need to set in the ``[default]`` section of configuration file: .. code-block:: ini unreliable = True For your reference, you can omit this parameter or set it to False only if the provided :samp:`{URI}` to your mongodb is actually the URI to mongodb Replica Set or Mongos. Also it must have "Write concern" parameter set to ``majority`` or to a number more than ``1``. For example, :samp:`{URI}` to reliable mongodb can look like this: .. code-block:: ini uri = mongodb://mydb0,mydb1,mydb2:27017/?replicaSet=foo&w=2 Where ``mydb0``, ``mydb1``, ``mydb2`` are addresses of the configured mongodb Replica Set nodes, ``replicaSet`` (Replica Set name) parameter is set to ``foo``, ``w`` (Write concern) parameter is set to ``2``. #. For logging, find the ``[handler_file]`` section in ``~/.zaqar/logging.conf`` and modify as desired: .. code-block:: ini args=('zaqar.log', 'w') Installing and using virtualenv ############################### #. Install virtualenv by running: .. code-block:: console $ pip install virtualenv #. Create and activate a virtual environment: .. code-block:: console $ virtualenv zaqarenv $ source zaqarenv/bin/activate #. Install Zaqar: .. code-block:: console $ pip install -e . #. Install the required Python binding for MongoDB: .. code-block:: console $ pip install pymongo #. Start Zaqar server in ``info`` logging mode: .. code-block:: console $ zaqar-server -v Or you can start Zaqar server in ``debug`` logging mode: .. code-block:: console $ zaqar-server -d #. Verify Zaqar is running by creating a queue via curl. In a separate terminal run: .. code-block:: console $ curl -i -X PUT http://localhost:8888/v1/queues/samplequeue -H "Content-type: application/json" #. Get ready to code! .. note:: You can run the Zaqar server in the background by passing the ``--daemon`` flag: .. code-block:: console $ zaqar-server -v --daemon But with this method you will not get immediate visual feedback and it will be harder to kill and restart the process. Troubleshooting ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ No handlers found for zaqar.client (...) """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" This happens because the current user cannot create the log file (for the default configuration in ``/var/log/zaqar/server.log``). To solve it, create the folder: .. code-block:: console $ sudo mkdir /var/log/zaqar Create the file: .. code-block:: console $ sudo touch /var/log/zaqar/server.log And try running the server again. DevStack -------- If you want to use Zaqar in an integrated OpenStack developing environment, you can add it to your DevStack_ deployment. To do this, you first need to add the following setting to your ``local.conf``: .. code-block:: bash enable_plugin zaqar https://git.openstack.org/openstack/zaqar Then run the ``stack.sh`` script as usual. .. _DevStack: https://docs.openstack.org/devstack/latest/ Running tests ------------- See :doc:`running_tests` for details.
