====================================
Development Environment with Vagrant
====================================

This guide describes how to use `Vagrant <http://vagrantup.com>`__ to assist in
developing for Kolla.

Vagrant is a tool to assist in scripted creation of virtual machines. Vagrant
takes care of setting up CentOS-based VMs for Kolla development, each with
proper hardware like memory amount and number of network interfaces.

Getting Started
===============

The Vagrant script implements **all-in-one** or **multi-node** deployments.
**all-in-one** is the default.

In the case of **multi-node** deployment, the Vagrant setup builds a cluster
with the following nodes by default:

*  3 control nodes
*  1 compute node
*  1 storage node (Note: ceph requires at least 3 storage nodes)
*  1 network node
*  1 operator node

The cluster node count can be changed by editing the Vagrantfile.

Kolla runs from the operator node to deploy OpenStack.

All nodes are connected with each other on the secondary NIC. The primary NIC
is behind a NAT interface for connecting with the Internet. The third NIC is
connected without IP configuration to a public bridge interface. This may be
used for Neutron/Nova to connect to instances.

Start by downloading and installing the Vagrant package for the distro of
choice. Various downloads can be found at the `Vagrant downloads
<https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html>`__.

Install required dependencies as follows:

On CentOS 7::

    sudo yum install vagrant ruby-devel libvirt-devel libvirt-python zlib-devel libpng-devel gcc git

On Fedora 22 or later::

    sudo dnf install vagrant ruby-devel libvirt-devel libvirt-python zlib-devel libpng-devel gcc git

On Ubuntu 14.04 or later::

    sudo apt-get install vagrant ruby-dev ruby-libvirt python-libvirt libvirt-dev nfs-kernel-server zlib-dev libpng-dev gcc git

.. note:: Many distros ship outdated versions of Vagrant by default. When in
          doubt, always install the latest from the downloads page above.

Next install the hostmanager plugin so all hosts are recorded in ``/etc/hosts``
(inside each vm)::

    vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostmanager vagrant-vbguest

Vagrant supports a wide range of virtualization technologies. This
documentation describes libvirt. To install vagrant-libvirt plugin::

    vagrant plugin install --plugin-version ">= 0.0.31" vagrant-libvirt

Some Linux distributions offer vagrant-libvirt packages, but the version they
provide tends to be too old to run Kolla. A version of >= 0.0.31 is required.

Setup NFS to permit file sharing between host and VMs. Contrary to the rsync
method, NFS allows both way synchronization and offers much better performance
than VirtualBox shared folders. On Fedora 22::

    sudo systemctl start nfs-server
    firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=2049/udp
    firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=2049/tcp
    firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=111/udp
    firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=111/tcp
    sudo systemctl restart firewalld

Ensure your system has libvirt and associated software installed and setup
correctly. On Fedora 22::

    sudo dnf install @virtualization
    sudo systemctl start libvirtd
    sudo systemctl enable libvirtd

Find a location in the system's home directory and checkout the Kolla repo::

    git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack/kolla

Developers can now tweak the Vagrantfile or bring up the default **all-in-one**
CentOS 7-based environment::

    cd kolla/contrib/dev/vagrant && vagrant up

The command ``vagrant status`` provides a quick overview of the VMs composing
the environment.

Vagrant Up
==========

Once Vagrant has completed deploying all nodes, the next step is to launch
Kolla. First, connect with the **operator** node::

    vagrant ssh operator

To speed things up, there is a local registry running on the operator. All
nodes are configured so they can use this insecure repo to pull from, and use
it as a mirror. Ansible may use this registry to pull images from.

All nodes have a local folder shared between the group and the hypervisor, and
a folder shared between **all** nodes and the hypervisor. This mapping is lost
after reboots, so make sure to use the command ``vagrant reload <node>`` when
reboots are required. Having this shared folder provides a method to supply
a different Docker binary to the cluster. The shared folder is also used to
store the docker-registry files, so they are save from destructive operations
like ``vagrant destroy``.

Building images
---------------

Once logged on the **operator** VM call the ``kolla-build`` utility::

    kolla-build

``kolla-build`` accept arguments as documented in `Building Container Images`_. It
builds Docker images and pushes them to the local registry if the **push**
option is enabled (in Vagrant this is the default behaviour).

Deploying OpenStack with Kolla
------------------------------

Deploy **all-in-one** with::

    sudo kolla-ansible deploy

Deploy multinode
On Centos 7::

    sudo kolla-ansible deploy -i /usr/share/kolla/ansible/inventory/multinode

On Ubuntu 14.04 or later::

    sudo kolla-ansible deploy -i /usr/local/share/kolla/ansible/inventory/multinode

Validate OpenStack is operational::

    kolla-ansible post-deploy
    . /etc/kolla/admin-openrc.sh
    openstack user list
