Steven Dake 6e3127d043 Run pandoc to convert the documentation
This converts all MD formatted docs that were renamed to RST to
preserve git history into actual RST documentation.  Some minor
edits were made but in general the purpose of this patch is to
*only* convert the documentation not rework the documentation.
I do plan on reworking the documentation in further patch sets.

All links were tested and a test rendering is available:

Developer Environment
=====================
If you are developing Kolla on an existing OpenStack cloud that supports
Heat, then follow the Heat template
`README <https://github.com/stackforge/kolla/blob/master/devenv/README.md>`__.
Another option available on systems with VirutalBox is the use of
`Vagrant <https://github.com/stackforge/kolla/blob/master/docs/vagrant.md>`__.
The best experience is available with bare metal deployment by following
the instructions below to manually create your Kolla deployment.
Installing Dependencies
-----------------------
NB: Kolla will not run on Fedora 22 or later. Fedora 22 compresses
kernel modules with the .xz compressed format. The guestfs system cannot
read these images because a dependent package supermin in CentOS needs
to be updated to add .xz compressed format support.
To install Kolla depenedencies use:
::
git clone http://github.com/stackforge/kolla
cd kolla
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
In order to run Kolla, it is mandatory to run a version of ``docker``
that is 1.7.0 or later.
For most systems you can install the latest stable version of Docker
with the following command:
::
curl -sSL https://get.docker.io | bash
For Ubuntu based systems, do not use AUFS when starting Docker daemon
unless you are running the Utopic (3.19) kernel. AUFS requires
CONFIG\_AUFS\_XATTR=y set when building the kernel. On Ubuntu, versions
prior to 3.19 did not set that flag. If you are unable to upgrade your
kernel, you should use a different storage backend such as btrfs.
Next, install the OpenStack python clients if they are not installed:
::
sudo pip install -U python-openstackclient
Finally stop libvirt on the host machine. Only one copy of libvirt may
be running at a time.
::
service libvirtd stop
The basic starting environment will be created using ``ansible``. This
environment will start up the OpenStack services listed in the inventory
file.
Starting Kolla
--------------
Configure Ansible by reading the Kolla
`Ansible configuration <https://github.com/stackforge/kolla/blob/master/docs/ansible-deployment.md>`__ documentation.
Next, run the start command:
::
$ sudo ./tools/kolla-ansible deploy
A bare metal system takes three minutes to deploy AIO. A virtual machine
takes five minutes to deploy AIO. These are estimates; your hardware may
be faster or slower but should near these results.
Debugging Kolla
---------------
You can determine a container's status by executing:
::
$ sudo docker ps -a
If any of the containers exited you can check the logs by executing:
::
$ sudo docker logs <container-name>
