Setup |
---|---|
2 |
===== |

|
4 |
Kamaki is easy to install from the official repository or with the pypi mechanism. |
5 |
|
6 |
Quick Setup |
7 |
----------- |
8 |
|
9 |
.. warning:: Users of kamaki 0.8.X or older should consult the |
10 |
`migration guide <#migrating-from-kamaki-0-8-x-to-0-9-or-better>`_ first. |
11 |
|
12 |
To set up Kamaki for a specific Synnefo deployment, users need an |
13 |
**authentication URL** and a **user token**. Users should also pick an alias to |
14 |
name the cloud configuration. This can be any single word, e.g., "default", |
15 |
"mycloud" or whatever suits the user. |
16 |
|
17 |
.. code-block:: console |
18 |
|
19 |
$ kamaki config set cloud.<cloud alias>.url <cloud-authentication-URL> |
20 |
$ kamaki config set cloud.<cloud alias>.token myt0k3n== |
21 |
|
22 |
If only one cloud is configured, it is automatically considered the default. |
23 |
Otherwise, a default cloud should be specified: |
24 |
|
25 |
.. code-block:: console |
26 |
|
27 |
$ kamaki config set default_cloud <cloud alias> |
28 |
|
29 |
The endpoints (URLs) for each service are resolved automatically from a single |
30 |
URL. This mechanism works for Synnefo v0.14 deployments or later. The |
31 |
authentication URL is retrieved from the Synnefo Web UI and should be set as |
32 |
the cloud URL for kamaki. Users of Synnefo clouds >=0.14 are advised against |
33 |
using any service-specific URLs. |
34 |
|
35 |
Migrating configuration file to latest version |
36 |
---------------------------------------------- |
37 |
|
38 |
Each new version of kamaki might demand some changes to the configuration file. |
39 |
Kamaki features a mechanism of automatic migration of the configration file to |
40 |
the latest version, which involves heuristics for guessing and translating the |
41 |
file. |
42 |
|
43 |
Quick migration |
44 |
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
45 |
|
46 |
The easiest way is to backup and remove the configuration file. The default |
47 |
configuration file location is '${HOME}/.kamakirc'. |
48 |
|
49 |
To reset kamaki, a user needs the authentication URL and TOKEN: |
50 |
|
51 |
.. code-block:: console |
52 |
|
53 |
$ kamaki config set cloud.default.url URL |
54 |
$ kamaki config set cloud.default.token TOKEN |
55 |
|
56 |
After that, a new configuration file will be created. In most cases, this is |
57 |
enough, since kamaki automatically sets the correct options for every |
58 |
functionality. |
59 |
|
60 |
Automatic migration |
61 |
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
62 |
|
63 |
Another way is to let kamaki change the file automatically. Kamaki always |
64 |
inspects the configuration file and, if understood as an older version, it |
65 |
suggests some necessary modifications (user permission is required). |
66 |
|
67 |
On example 2.1 we suggest using the `user info` command to invoke the migration |
68 |
mechanism. |
69 |
|
70 |
.. code-block:: console |
71 |
:emphasize-lines: 1 |
72 |
|
73 |
Example 2.1: Convert config file while authenticating user "exampleuser" |
74 |
|
75 |
$ kamaki user info |
76 |
Config file format version >= 0.12 is required |
77 |
Configuration file: "/home/exampleuser/.kamakirc" |
78 |
but kamaki can fix this: |
79 |
Calculating changes while preserving information |
80 |
... rescue global.token => cloud.default.token |
81 |
... rescue config.cli => global.config_cli |
82 |
... rescue history.file => global.history_file |
83 |
... change global.network_cli value: `cyclades` => `network` |
84 |
... DONE |
85 |
The following information will NOT be preserved: |
86 |
global.account = |
87 |
global.data_log = on |
88 |
user.account = exampleuser@example.com |
89 |
user.url = https://accounts.okeanos.grnet.gr |
90 |
compute.url = https://cyclades.okeanos.grnet.gr/api/v1.1 |
91 |
file.url = https://pithos.okeanos.grnet.gr/v1 |
92 |
image.url = https://cyclades.okeanos.grnet.gr/plankton |
93 |
|
94 |
Kamaki is ready to convert the config file to version 0.12 |
95 |
Overwrite file /home/exampleuser/.kamakirc ? [Y, y] |
96 |
|
97 |
At this point, we should examine the kamaki output. Most options are renamed to |
98 |
match the latest configuration file version specifications. |
99 |
|
100 |
Lets take a look at the discarded options: |
101 |
|
102 |
* `global.account` and `user.account` are not used since version 0.9 |
103 |
The same is true for the synonyms `store.account` and `pithos.account`. |
104 |
These options were used to explicitly set a user account or uuid to a |
105 |
pithos call. In the latest Synnefo version (>= 0.14), these features are |
106 |
meaningless and therefore omitted. |
107 |
|
108 |
* `global.data_log` option has never been a valid kamaki config option. |
109 |
In this scenario, the user wanted to set the `log_data` option, but he or |
110 |
she typed `data_log` instead. To fix this, the user should manually set the |
111 |
correct option after the conversion is complete (Example 2.2). |
112 |
|
113 |
Users should press *y* when they are ready, which will cause the default config |
114 |
file to be modified. |
115 |
|
116 |
.. code-block:: console |
117 |
:emphasize-lines: 1 |
118 |
|
119 |
Example 2.2: Rescue misspelled log_data option |
120 |
|
121 |
$ kamaki config set log_data on |
122 |
|
123 |
In order to convert more files, users may run kamaki with the -c option, which |
124 |
runs kamaki with a different configuration file (Example 2.3) and apply the |
125 |
steps described above. |
126 |
|
127 |
.. code-block:: console |
128 |
:emphasize-lines: 1 |
129 |
|
130 |
Example 2.3: Use kamaki to update a configuration file called ".myfilerc" |
131 |
|
132 |
$ kamaki -c .myfilerc user authenticate |
133 |
|
134 |
Multiple clouds |
135 |
--------------- |
136 |
|
137 |
The following refers to users of multiple Synnefo and/or Open Stack |
138 |
deployments. In the following, a Synnefo (or Open Stack) cloud deployment will |
139 |
be called **a cloud**. |
140 |
|
141 |
Multiple clouds can be configured and manager in a single kamaki setup, since |
142 |
version 0.9. Each cloud corresponds to a Synnefo (or Open Stack) cloud |
143 |
deployment, with each deployment offering a single point of authentication (an |
144 |
**authentication URL** and **token** pair). Users can retrieve this information |
145 |
through the cloud UI. |
146 |
|
147 |
Once a user has retrieved one URL/token pair per cloud, it is time to assign a |
148 |
name to each cloud and configure kamaki accordingly. |
149 |
|
150 |
For example, let the user have access to two clouds with the following authentication information :: |
151 |
|
152 |
cloud alias: devel |
153 |
authentication URL: https://devel.example.com/astakos/identity/v2.0/ |
154 |
authentication token: myd3v3170k3n== |
155 |
|
156 |
cloud alias: testing |
157 |
autentication URL: https://testing.example.com/astakos/identity/v2.0/ |
158 |
authentication token: my73571ng70k3n== |
159 |
|
160 |
.. note:: the cloud alias is arbitrary and decided by the user. It is just a |
161 |
reference label for the cloud setup in the kamaki context. |
162 |
|
163 |
The user should let kamaki know about these setups: |
164 |
|
165 |
.. code-block:: console |
166 |
|
167 |
$ kamaki config set cloud.devel.url https://devel.example.com/astakos/identity/v2.0/ |
168 |
$ kamaki config set cloud.devel.token myd3v3170k3n== |
169 |
$ |
170 |
$ kamaki config set cloud.testing.url https://testing.example.com/astakos/identity/v2.0/ |
171 |
$ kamaki config set cloud.testing.token my73571ng70k3n== |
172 |
$ |
173 |
|
174 |
To check if all settings are loaded, a user may list all clouds, as shown |
175 |
bellow: |
176 |
|
177 |
.. code-block:: console |
178 |
|
179 |
$ kamaki config get cloud |
180 |
cloud.default.url = https://example.com/astakos.identity/v2.0/ |
181 |
cloud.default.token = myd3f4u1770k3n== |
182 |
cloud.devel.url = https://devel.example.com/astakos/identity/v2.0/ |
183 |
cloud.devel.token = myd3v3170k3n== |
184 |
cloud.testing.url = https://testing.example.com/astakos/identity/v2.0/ |
185 |
cloud.testing.token = my73571ng70k3n== |
186 |
$ |
187 |
|
188 |
or query kamaki for a specific cloud: |
189 |
|
190 |
.. code-block:: console |
191 |
|
192 |
$ kamaki config get cloud.devel |
193 |
cloud.devel.url = https://devel.example.com/astakos/identity/v2.0/ |
194 |
cloud.devel.token = myd3v3170k3n== |
195 |
$ |
196 |
|
197 |
Now kamaki can use any of these clouds, with the **- - cloud** attribute. If |
198 |
the **- - cloud** option is omitted, kamaki will query the `default` cloud. |
199 |
|
200 |
One way to test this, is the `user info` command: |
201 |
|
202 |
.. code-block:: console |
203 |
|
204 |
$ kamaki --cloud=devel user info |
205 |
... |
206 |
id : 725d5de4-1bab-45ac-9e98-38a60a8c543c |
207 |
name : Devel User |
208 |
$ |
209 |
$ kamaki --cloud=testing user info |
210 |
... |
211 |
id : 4ed5d527-bab1-ca54-89e9-c345c8a06a83 |
212 |
name : Testing User |
213 |
$ |
214 |
$ kamaki --cloud=default user info |
215 |
... |
216 |
id : 4d3f4u17-u53r-4u7h-451n-4u7h3n7ic473 |
217 |
name : Default User |
218 |
$ |
219 |
$ kamaki user info |
220 |
... |
221 |
id : 4d3f4u17-u53r-4u7h-451n-4u7h3n7ic473 |
222 |
name : Default User |
223 |
$ |
224 |
|
225 |
In interactive cell, the cloud option should be passed when calling the shell. |
226 |
|
227 |
.. code-block:: console |
228 |
|
229 |
$ kamaki-shell --cloud=devel |

244 |
----------------- |
245 |
|
246 |

247 |
`kamaki installation guide <installation.html#install-ansicolors>`_ |
248 |
|
249 |
* ansicolors |
250 |
* Add colors to command line / console output |
251 |
* Can be switched on/off in kamaki configuration file: `colors = on/off` |
252 |

253 |
|
254 |
* mock |
255 |
* For kamaki contributors only |
256 |
* Allow unit tests to run on kamaki.clients package |
257 |
* Needs mock version 1.X or better |
258 |
|
259 |
Any of the above features can be installed at any time before or after kamaki |
260 |
installation. |
261 |
|
262 |
Configuration options |
263 |
--------------------- |
264 |
|
265 |
There are two kinds of configuration options: |
266 |
|
267 |
* kamaki-related (global) |
268 |
interface settings and constants of the kamaki internal mechanism, e.g., |
269 |
terminal colors, maximum threads per connection, custom logging, history |
270 |
file path, etc. |
271 |
|
272 |
* cloud-related |
273 |
information needed to connect and use one or more clouds. There are some |
274 |
mandatory options (URL, token) and some advanced / optional (e.g., |
275 |
service-specific URL overrides or versions) |
276 |
|
277 |
Kamaki comes with preset default values to all kamaki-related configuration |
278 |
options. Cloud-related information is not included in presets and should be |
279 |
provided by the user. Kamaki-related options can also be modified. |
280 |
|
281 |
There are two ways of managing configuration options: edit the config file or |
282 |
use the kamaki config command. |
283 |
|
284 |
Using multiple configuration files |
285 |
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
286 |
|
287 |
Kamaki setups are stored in configuration files. By default, a Kamaki |
288 |
installation stores options in *.kamakirc* file located at the user home |
289 |
directory. |
290 |
|
291 |
If a user needs to switch between different kamaki-related setups, Kamaki can |
292 |
explicitly load configuration files with the **- - config** (or **- c**) option |
293 |
|
294 |
.. code-block:: console |
295 |
|
296 |
$ kamaki --config <custom_config_file_path> [other options] |
297 |
|
298 |
.. note:: For accessing multiple clouds, users do NOT need to create multiple |
299 |
configuration files. Instead, we suggest using a single configuration file |
300 |
with multiple cloud setups. More details can be found at the |
301 |
`multiple clouds guide <#multiple-clouds>`_. |
302 |
|
303 |
Modifying options at runtime |
304 |
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
305 |
|
306 |
All kamaki commands can be used with the -o option in order to override configuration options at runtime. For example: |
307 |
|
308 |
.. code-block:: console |
309 |
|
310 |
$ kamaki file list -o global.pithos_container=anothercontainer |
311 |
|
312 |
will invoke *kamaki file list* with the specified options, but the initial |
313 |
global.pithos_container values will not be modified. |
314 |
|
315 |
|
316 |
Editing options |
317 |
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
318 |
|
319 |
Kamaki config command allows users to see and manage all configuration options. |
320 |
|
321 |
* kamaki config list |
322 |
lists all configuration options |
323 |
|
324 |
* kamaki config get <group>[.option] | <option> |
325 |
show the value of a configuration option.A single *option* is equivalent to |
326 |
*global.option*, except if this group exist (*global*, *cloud*) |
327 |
|
328 |
* kamaki config set <group.option> <value> |
329 |
set the group.option to value. If no group is given, it defaults to |
330 |
*global*. |
331 |
|
332 |
* kamaki config delete <group>[.option] | <option> |
333 |
delete a configuration option, group, or global option. |
334 |
|
335 |
The above commands cause option values to be permanently stored in the Kamaki configuration file. |
336 |
|
337 |
The commands above can also be used for **clouds** handling, using the `cloud.` |
338 |
prefix. The cloud handling cases are similar but with slightly different |
339 |
semantics: |
340 |
|
341 |
* kamaki config get cloud[.<cloud alias>[.option]] |
342 |
* cloud |
343 |
list all clouds and their settings |
344 |
* cloud.<cloud alias> |
345 |
list settings of the cloud aliased as <cloud alias>. If no |
346 |
special is configured, use the term `cloud.default` |
347 |
* cloud.<cloud alias>.<option> |
348 |
show the value of the specified option. If no special alias is |
349 |
configured, use `cloud.default.<option>` |
350 |
|
351 |
* kamaki config set cloud.<cloud alias>.<option> <value> |
352 |
If the cloud alias <cloud alias> does not exist, create it. Then, create |
353 |
(or update) the option <option> of this cloud, by setting its value |
354 |
to <value>. |
355 |
|
356 |
* kamaki config delete cloud.<cloud alias>[.<option>] |
357 |
* cloud.<cloud alias> |
358 |
delete the cloud alias <cloud alias> and all its options |
359 |
* cloud.<cloud alias>.<option> |
360 |
delete the <option> and its value from the cloud cloud aliased as |
361 |
<cloud alias> |
362 |
|
363 |
To see if a default cloud is configured, get the default_cloud value |
364 |
|
365 |
.. code-block:: console |
366 |
|
367 |
$ kamaki config get default_cloud |
368 |
|
369 |
If no default_cloud value is set, the first cloud alias is picked as default. |
370 |
To pick a cloud alias as default: |
371 |
|
372 |
.. code-block:: console |
373 |
|
374 |
$ kamaki config set default_cloud <cloud alias> |
375 |
|
376 |
|
377 |
Editing the configuration file |
378 |
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
379 |
|
380 |
The configuration file is a simple text file that can be created by the user. |
381 |
|
382 |
.. note:: users of kamaki < 0.9 can use the latest versions to automatically |
383 |
convert their old configuration files to the new configuration file(s). See |
384 |
`these instructions <#mMigrating-configuration-file-to-latest-version>`_ |
385 |
for more. |
386 |
|
387 |
A simple way to create the configuration file is to set a configuration option |
388 |
using the kamaki config command. For example: |
389 |
|
390 |
.. code-block:: console |
391 |
|
392 |
$ kamaki config set log_file /home/exampleuser/logs/kamaki.log |
393 |
|
394 |
In the above example, if the kamaki configuration file does not exist, it will |
395 |
be created with all the default values plus the *global.log_file* option set to |
396 |
`/home/exampleuser/logs/kamaki.log` |
397 |
|
398 |
The configuration file is formatted so that it can be parsed by the python ConfigParser module. It consists of command sections that are denoted with brackets. Every section contains variables with values. For example:: |
399 |
|
400 |
[global] |
401 |
log_file = /home/exampleuser/logs/kamaki.log |
402 |
max_threads = 7 |
403 |
colors = off |
404 |
|
405 |
[cloud "default"] |
406 |
url = |
407 |
token = |
408 |
|
409 |
In this scenario, a bunch of configuration options are created and set to their |
410 |
default options, except the log_file option which is set to whatever the |
411 |
specified value. |
412 |
|
413 |
The *[cloud "default"]* section is special and is used to configure the default |
414 |
cloud. Kamaki will not be able to do anything useful without proper url and |
415 |
token values set in the cloud section. |
416 |
|
417 |
Available options |
418 |
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
419 |
|
420 |
The [*global*] group is treated by kamaki as a generic group for kamaki |
421 |
settings, namely command cli specifications, the thread limit, console colors, |
422 |
history and log files, log detail options and pithos-specific options. |
423 |
|
424 |
* global.default_cloud <cloud name> |
425 |
pick a cloud configuration as default. It must refer to an existing cloud. |
426 |
|
427 |
* global.colors <on|off> |
428 |
enable / disable colors in command line based uis. Requires ansicolors, |
429 |
otherwise it is ignored |
430 |
|
431 |
* global.log_file <logfile full path> |
432 |
set a custom location for kamaki logging. Default value is ~/.kamaki.log |
433 |
|
434 |
* global.log_token <on|off> |
435 |
allow kamaki to log user tokens |
436 |
|
437 |
* global.log_data <on|off> |
438 |
allow kamaki to log http data (by default, it logs only method, URL and |
439 |
headers) |
440 |
|
441 |
* global.log_pid <on|off> |
442 |
attach the process name and id that produces each log line. Useful for |
443 |
resolving race condition problems. |
444 |
|
445 |
* global.file_cli <UI command specifications for file> |
446 |
a special package that is used to load storage commands to kamaki UIs. |
447 |
Don't touch this unless if you know what you are doing. |
448 |
|
449 |
* global.cyclades_cli <UI command specifications for cyclades> |
450 |
a special package that is used to load cyclades commands to kamaki UIs. |
451 |
Don't touch this unless you know what you are doing. |
452 |

Functional tests |
482 |
"""""""""""""""" |
483 |
|
484 |
Kamaki contains a set of functional tests for *kamaki.clients*, called |
485 |
"livetest". The term "live" means that the tests are performed against an |
486 |
on-line functional cloud deployment. The package is accessible as |
487 |
*kamaki.clients.livetest* . |
488 |
|
489 |
The livetest commands can be activated by setting the following option in the |
490 |
configuration file:: |
491 |
|
492 |
[global] |
493 |
livetest_cli=livetest |
494 |
|
495 |
or with this kamaki command:: |
496 |
|
497 |
$ kamaki config set livetest_cli livetest |
498 |
|
499 |
In most cases, it is enough to have the default cloud configured correctly. |
500 |
Some commands, though, require some extra settings specific to actual contents |
501 |
of the cloud or the example files used in kamaki. |
502 |
|
503 |
Here is a list of settings needed: |
504 |
|
505 |
* for all tests:: |
506 |
* livetest.testcloud = <the cloud alias this test will run against> |
507 |
|
508 |
* for astakos client:: |
509 |
* livetest.astakos_details = <A file with an authentication output> |
510 |
To create this file, pipeline the output of an authentication command |
511 |
with the -j option for raw json output |
512 |
|
513 |
.. code-block:: console |
514 |
|
515 |
$ kamaki user authenticate -j > astakos.details |
516 |
|
517 |
* livetest.astakos_name = <The exact "real" name of the testing user> |
518 |
* livetest.astakos_id = <The valid unique user id of the testing user> |
519 |
|
520 |
* for image client: |
521 |
* livetest.image_details = <A file with the image metadata> |
522 |
To create this file, pipeline the output of an image metadata command |
523 |
with the -j option for raw json output |
524 |
|
525 |
.. code-block:: console |
526 |
|
527 |
$ kamaki image info <img id> -j > img.details |
528 |
|
529 |
* livetest.image_id = <A valid image id used for testing> |
530 |
* livetest.image_local_path = <The local path of the testing image> |
531 |
|
532 |
* for flavors (part of the compute client): |
533 |
* livetest.flavor_details = <A file with the flavor details> |
534 |
To create this file, pipeline the output of a flavor info command |
535 |
with the -j option for raw json output |
536 |
|
537 |
.. code-block:: console |
538 |
|
539 |
$ kamaki flavor info <flavor id> -j > flavor.details |
540 |
|
541 |
|
542 |
After setup, kamaki can run all tests:: |
543 |
|
544 |
$ kamaki livetest all |
545 |
|
546 |
a specific test (e.g., pithos scenario):: |
547 |
|
548 |
$ kamaki livetest pithos |
549 |
|
550 |
or a specific method from a service (e.g., create_server @ cyclades):: |
551 |
|
552 |
$ kamaki livetest cyclades create_server |
553 |
|
554 |
|
555 |
Unit tests |
556 |
"""""""""" |
557 |
|
558 |
Kamaki features a set of unit tests for the kamaki.clients package. This set is |
559 |
not used when kamaki is running. Instead, it is aimed to developers who debug |
560 |
or extent kamaki. For more information, check the |
561 |
`Going Agile <developers/extending-clients-api.html#going-agile>`_ entry at the |
