Installation Guide
==================
Tuskar source code should be pulled directly from git::
git clone https://github.com/stackforge/tuskar.git
Dependencies
------------
Setting up a local environment for development can be done with tox::
# install prerequisites
* Ubuntu/Debian:
$ sudo apt-get install python-dev swig libssl-dev python-pip libmysqlclient-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev
* Fedora/RHEL:
$ sudo yum install python-devel swig openssl-devel python-pip mysql-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel
# Note that as of Fedora 19, you need to use the community
upstream for mysql, called mariadb-devel
$ sudo pip install virtualenv setuptools-git flake8 tox
$ cd <your_src_dir>/tuskar
# create virtualenv
$ tox -e py27
Note: if ``pip install`` fails due to an outdated setuptools, you can try to update it first::
$ sudo pip install --upgrade setuptools
Configuration
-------------
Copy the sample configuration file:
::
$ cp etc/tuskar/tuskar.conf.sample etc/tuskar/tuskar.conf
Edit the config file and uncomment the `heat_keystone` section at the bottom:
::
[heat_keystone]
username = heat
password = heat
tenant_name = admin
auth_url = http://localhost:35357/v2.0
insecure = True
Note: replace these values with credentials for our undercloud OpenStack. If
you're using `Devstack <http://devstack.org/>`_, the username and password are
printed out when `stack.sh` finishes its job.
We need to initialise the database schema::
# activate the virtualenv
$ source .tox/py27/bin/activate
# if you delete tuskar.sqlite this will force creation of tables again - e.g.
# if you added a new resource table definitions etc in an existing migration
# file
$ tuskar-dbsync --config-file etc/tuskar/tuskar.conf
You can verify this was successful (in addition to seeing no error
output) with::
$ sqlite3 tuskar.sqlite .schema
Then, launch the app and try curl to see if it works::
$ tuskar-api --config-file etc/tuskar/tuskar.conf
$ curl -v -X GET -H 'Accept: application/json' http://0.0.0.0:8585/v1/resource_classes/ | python -mjson.tool
Assuming this is your first time running with a new database, you should
simply get '[]' back from curl above. Currently the api supports only
json return type, so we request that in the example call.
Next, you can run a script to populate the DB with some sample data::
$ python tools/sample_data.py
This will create 2 Resource Classes and three Racks. You need to have the Tuskar
API server running. You can see more examples of using the API at our `cURL
Commands page <https://github.com/stackforge/tuskar/blob/master/docs/api/curl.rst>`_.
Running Tuskar API
------------------
Whenever you want to run the API again, just switch to the virtualenv and run
`tuskar-api` command:
::
$ source .tox/py27/bin/activate
$ tuskar-api --config-file etc/tuskar/tuskar.conf
