Configure the Image service for temporary URLs

Some drivers of the Baremetal service (in particular, any agent_* drivers, any new-style drivers using direct deploy interface, and some virtual media drivers) require target user images to be available over clean HTTP(S) URL with no authentication involved (neither username/password-based, nor token-based).

When using the Baremetal service integrated in OpenStack, this can be achieved by specific configuration of the Image service and Object Storage service as described below.

1. Configure the Image service to have object storage as a backend for storing images. For more details, please refer to the Image service configuration guide.

   Note

   When using Ceph+RadosGW for Object Storage service, images stored in Image service must be available over Object Storage service as well.

2. Enable TempURLs for the Object Storage account used by the Image service for storing images in the Object Storage service.

   1. Check if TempURLs are enabled:

      # executed under credentials of the user used by Image service
      # to access Object Storage service
      $ openstack object store account show
      +------------+---------------------------------------+
      | Field      | Value                                 |
      +------------+---------------------------------------+
      | Account    | AUTH_bc39f1d9dcf9486899088007789ae643 |
      | Bytes      | 536661727                             |
      | Containers | 1                                     |
      | Objects    | 19                                    |
      | properties | Temp-Url-Key='secret'                 |
      +------------+---------------------------------------+

   2. If property Temp-Url-Key is set, note its value.

   3. If property Temp-Url-Key is not set, you have to configure it (secret is used in the example below for the value):

      $ openstack object store account set --property Temp-Url-Key=secret

3. Configure the ironic-conductor service. The configuration file is typically located at /etc/ironic/ironic.conf. Some of the required values are available in the response of an openstack object store account show command; others have to match those configured in Image and Object Store services configuration files. Below is a example of a minimal set of configuration options to specify when Object Storage service is provided by swift (check configuration file sample included within ironic code etc/ironic/ironic.conf.sample for full list of available options and their detailed descriptions):

   [glance]
   
   temp_url_endpoint_type = swift
   swift_endpoint_url = http://openstack/swift
   swift_account = AUTH_bc39f1d9dcf9486899088007789ae643
   swift_container = glance
   swift_temp_url_key = secret

4. (Re)start the ironic-conductor service.
