Bare Metal Deployment of Kolla
==============================
Evaluation and Developer Environments
-------------------------------------
Two virtualized evaluation and development environment options are
available. These options permit the evaluation of Kolla without
disrupting the host operating system.
If developing or evaluating Kolla on an OpenStack cloud environment that
supports Heat, follow the :doc:`Heat evaluation and developer environment
guide <heat-dev-env>`.
If developing or evaluating Kolla on a system that provides VirtualBox or
Libvirt in addition to Vagrant, use the Vagrant virtual environment documented
in :doc:`Vagrant evaluation and
developer environment guide <vagrant-dev-env>`.
If evaluating or deploying OpenStack on bare-metal with Kolla, follow the
instructions in this document to get started.
Host machine requirements
---------------------------------
The recommended deployment target requirements:
- Two network interfaces.
- More than 8gb main memory.
- At least 40gb disk space.
Installing Dependencies
-----------------------
Kolla is tested on CentOS, Oracle Linux, RHEL and Ubuntu as both container
OS platforms and bare metal deployment targets.
Fedora: Kolla will not run on Fedora 22 and later will not run as a bare metal
deployment target. These distributions compress kernel modules with the .xz
compressed format. The guestfs system in the CentOS family of containers
cannot read these images because a dependent package supermin in CentOS needs
to be updated to add .xz compressed format support.
Ubuntu: For Ubuntu based systems where Docker is used, do not use AUFS when
starting Docker daemon, unless running Ubuntu uses 3.19 kernel or above.
AUFS requires CONFIG\_AUFS\_XATTR=y set when building the kernel. On
Ubuntu, versions prior to 3.19 did not set this flag to be compatible with
Docker. In order to update kernel in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS to 3.19, run:
::
sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic-lts-vivid
If unable to upgrade the kernel, the Kolla community recommends using a
different storage backend such as btrfs when running Docker daemon.
.. NOTE:: Install is *very* sensitive about version of components. Please
review carefully because default Operating System repos are likely out of
date.
===================== =========== =========== =========================
Component Min Version Max Version Comment
===================== =========== =========== =========================
Ansible 1.9.4 none On deployment host
Docker 1.8.2 1.8.2 On target nodes
Docker Python 1.2.0 none On target nodes
Python Jinja2 2.6.0 none On deployment host
===================== =========== =========== =========================
To install Python dependencies use:
::
git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack/kolla
cd kolla
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
Since Docker is required to build images as well as be present on all deployed
targets, the Kolla community recommends installing the Docker Inc. packaged
version of Docker for maximum stability and compatibility with the following
command:
::
curl -sSL https://get.docker.io | bash
This command will install the most recent stable version of Docker, but please
note what Kolla releases are not in sync with docker in any way, so some things
could stop working with new version. Kolla release 1.0.0-liberty tested to
work with docker 1.8.2, to check you docker version run this command:
::
docker --version
Docker 1.8.3 and later are incompatible with Kolla. If the version installed
is 1.8.3 or later, consider downgrading by using these commands:
::
# Centos 7
yum downgrade docker-engine-1.8.2
systemctl restart docker.service
# Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
sudo apt-get install docker-engine=1.8.2-0~trusty
On the system where the OpenStack CLI/Python code is run, the Kolla community
recommends installing the OpenStack python clients if they are not installed.
This could be a completely different machine then the deployment host or
deployment targets. Before installing the OpenStack python client, the
following requirements are needed to build the client code:
::
# Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install -y python-dev python-pip libffi-dev libssl-dev
# Centos 7
easy_install pip
yum install -y python-devel libffi-devel openssl-devel
To install these clients use:
::
pip install -U python-openstackclient
OpenStack, RabbitMQ, and Ceph require all hosts to have matching times to ensure
proper message delivery. In the case of Ceph, it will complain if the hosts
differ by more than 0.05 seconds. Some OpenStack services have timers as low as
2 seconds by default. For these reasons it is highly recommended to setup an NTP
service of some kind. While `ntpd` will achieve more accurate time for the
deployment if the NTP servers are running in the local deployment environment,
`chrony <http://chrony.tuxfamily.org>`_ is more accurate when syncing the time
across a WAN connection. When running Ceph it is recommended to setup `ntpd` to
sync time locally due to the tight time constraints.
To install, start, and enable ntp on CentOS execute the following:
::
# Centos 7
yum -y install ntp
systemctl enable ntpd
systemctl start ntpd
To install and start on Debian based systems execute the following:
::
apt-get install ntp
Libvirt is started by default on many operating systems. Please disable libvirt
on any machines that will be deployment targets. Only one copy of libvirt may
be running at a time.
::
service libvirtd disable
service libvirtd stop
Kolla deploys OpenStack using
`Ansible <http://www.ansible.com>`__. Install Ansible from distribution
packaging if the distro packaging has recommended version available.
Currently all implemented distro versions of Ansible are too old to use distro
packaging. Once distro packaging is updated install from packaging using:
::
yum -y install ansible
On DEB based systems this can be done using:
::
apt-get install ansible
If the distro packaged version of Ansible is too old, install Ansible using
pip:
::
pip install -U ansible
Building Container Images
--------------------------
The Kolla community does not currently generate new images for each commit
to the repository. The push time for a full image build to the docker registry
is about 5 hours on 100mbit Internet, so there are technical limitations to
using the Docker Hub registry with the current OpenStack CI/CD systems.
The Kolla community builds and pushes tested images for each tagged release of
Kolla, but if running from master, it is recommended to build images locally.
Before running the below instructions, ensure the docker daemon is running
or the build process will fail. To build images using default parameters run:
::
tools/build.py
By default docker will build all containers using Centos as the base image and
binary installation as base installation method. To change this behavior,
please use the following parameters with build.py:
::
--base [ubuntu|centos|fedora|oraclelinux]
--type [binary|source]
A docker build of all containers on Xeon hardware with SSDs and 100mbit network
takes roughly 30 minutes. The CentOS mirrors are flakey and the RDO delorean
repository is not mirrored at all. As a result occasionally some containers
fail to build. To rectify this, the build tool will automatically attempt three
retries of a build operation if the first one fails.
It is also possible to build individual containers. As an example, if the
glance containers failed to build, all glance related containers can be
rebuilt as follows:
::
tools/build.py glance
In order to see all available parameters, run:
::
tools/build.py -h
Deploying Kolla
---------------
The Kolla community provides two example methods of Kolla
deploy: *all-in-one* and *multinode*. The "all-in-one" deploy is similar
to `devstack <http://docs.openstack.org/developer/devstack/>`__ deploy which
installs all OpenStack services on a single host. In the "multinode" deploy,
OpenStack services can be run on specific hosts. This documentation only
describes deploying *all-in-one* method as most simple one.
Each method is represented as an Ansible inventory file. More information on
the Ansible inventory file can be found in the Ansible `inventory introduction
<https://docs.ansible.com/intro_inventory.html>`__.
Copy the etc/kolla directory from the git to /etc/kolla on the deployment
host. All variables for the environment can be specified in the files:
"/etc/kolla/globals.yml" and "/etc/kolla/passwords.yml"
Start by editing /etc/kolla/globals.yml. Check and edit, if needed, these
parameters: kolla_base_distro, kolla_install_type.
The kolla\_\*\_address variables can both be the same. Please specify
an unused IP address in the network to act as a VIP for
kolla\_internal\_address. The VIP will be used with keepalived and
added to the "api\_interface" as specified in the globals.yml
::
kolla_external_address: "openstack.example.com"
kolla_internal_address: "10.10.10.254"
If the environment doesn't have a free IP address available for VIP
configuration, the host's IP address may be used here by disabling HAProxy by
adding:
::
enable_haproxy: "no"
Note this method is not recommended and generally not tested by the
Kolla community, but included since sometimes a free IP is not available
in a testing environment.
The "network\_interface" variable is the interface to which Kolla binds API
services. For example, when starting up Mariadb it will bind to the
IP on the interface list in the "network\_interface" variable.
::
network_interface: "eth0"
The "neutron\_external\_interface" variable is the interface that will
be used for the external bridge in Neutron. Without this bridge the deployment
instance traffic will be unable to access the rest of the Internet. In
the case of a single interface on a machine, a veth pair may be used where
one end of the veth pair is listed here and the other end is in a bridge on
the system.
::
neutron_external_interface: "eth1"
The docker\_pull\_policy specifies whether Docker should always pull
images from the repository it is configured for, or only in the case
where the image isn't present locally. If building local images without
pushing them to the Docker registry, please set this value to "missing"
or when running deployment Docker will attempt to fetch the latest image
upstream.
::
docker_pull_policy: "missing"
For "all-in-one" deploys, the following commands can be run. These will
setup all of the containers on the localhost. These commands will be
wrapped in the kolla-script in the future.
::
tools/kolla-ansible deploy
In order to see all available parameters, run:
::
tools/kolla-ansible -h
A bare metal system with Ceph takes 18 minutes to deploy. A virtual machine
deployment takes 25 minutes. These are estimates; different hardware may be
faster or slower but should be near these results.
After successful deployment of OpenStack, the Horizon dashboard will be
avalible by entering IP addr or hostname from "kolla_external_address",
or kolla_internal_address in case then kolla_external_address uses
kolla_internal_address.
Useful tools
-------------
View tools/openrc-example for an example of an openrc that may be used with
the environment. The following command will initialize an environment with a
glance image and neutron networks:
::
tools/init-runonce
Debugging Kolla
---------------
The container's status can be determined on the deployment targets by
executing:
::
docker ps -a
If any of the containers exited, this indicates a bug in the container. Please
seek help by filing a bug or contacting the developers via IRC.
The logs can be examined by executing:
::
docker exec -it rsyslog bash
The logs from all services in all containers may be read from
/var/log/SERVICE_NAME
If the stdout logs are needed, please run:
::
docker logs <container-name>
Note that some of the containers don't log to stdout at present so the above
command will provide no information.
To learn more about Docker command line operation please refer to `Docker
documentation <https://docs.docker.com/reference/commandline/cli/>`__.
