Administrator's Quick Installation Guide |
4 |
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
5 |
|
6 |
This is the Administrator's quick installation guide. |
7 |
|
8 |
It describes how to install the whole synnefo stack on two (2) physical nodes, |
9 |
with minimum configuration. It installs synnefo from Debian packages, and |
10 |
assumes the nodes run Debian Squeeze. After successful installation, you will |
11 |
have the following services running: |
12 |
|
13 |
* Identity Management (Astakos) |
14 |
* Object Storage Service (Pithos+) |
15 |
* Compute Service (Cyclades) |
16 |
* Image Registry Service (Plankton) |
17 |
|
18 |
and a single unified Web UI to manage them all. |
19 |
|
20 |
The Volume Storage Service (Archipelago) and the Billing Service (Aquarium) are |
21 |
not released yet. |
22 |
|
23 |
If you just want to install the Object Storage Service (Pithos+), follow the guide |
24 |
and just stop after the "Testing of Pithos+" section. |
25 |
|
26 |
|
27 |
Installation of Synnefo / Introduction |
28 |
====================================== |
29 |
|
30 |
We will install the services with the above list's order. Cyclades and Plankton |
31 |
will be installed in a single step (at the end), because at the moment they are |
32 |
contained in the same software component. Furthermore, we will install all |
33 |
services in the first physical node, except Pithos+ which will be installed in |
34 |
the second, due to a conflict between the snf-pithos-app and snf-cyclades-app |
35 |
component (scheduled to be fixed in the next version). |
36 |
|
37 |
For the rest of the documentation we will refer to the first physical node as |
38 |
"node1" and the second as "node2". We will also assume that their domain names |
39 |
are "node1.example.com" and "node2.example.com" and their IPs are "4.3.2.1" and |
40 |
"4.3.2.2" respectively. |
41 |
|
42 |
|
43 |
General Prerequisites |
44 |
===================== |
45 |
|
46 |
These are the general synnefo prerequisites, that you need on node1 and node2 |
47 |
and are related to all the services (Astakos, Pithos+, Cyclades, Plankton). |
48 |
|
49 |
To be able to download all synnefo components you need to add the following |
50 |
lines in your ``/etc/apt/sources.list`` file: |
51 |
|
52 |
| ``deb http://apt.dev.grnet.gr squeeze main`` |
53 |
| ``deb-src http://apt.dev.grnet.gr squeeze main`` |
54 |
|
55 |
You also need a shared directory visible by both nodes. Pithos+ will save all |
56 |
data inside this directory. By 'all data', we mean files, images, and pithos |
57 |
specific mapping data. If you plan to upload more than one basic image, this |
58 |
directory should have at least 50GB of free space. During this guide, we will |
59 |
assume that node1 acts as an NFS server and serves the directory ``/srv/pithos`` |
60 |
to node2. Node2 has this directory mounted under ``/srv/pithos``, too. |
61 |
|
62 |
Before starting the synnefo installation, you will need basic third party |
63 |
software to be installed and configured on the physical nodes. We will describe |
64 |
each node's general prerequisites separately. Any additional configuration, |
65 |
specific to a synnefo service for each node, will be described at the service's |
66 |
section. |
67 |

General Synnefo dependencies |
72 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
73 |
|
74 |
* apache (http server) |
75 |
* gunicorn (WSGI http server) |
76 |
* postgresql (database) |
77 |
* rabbitmq (message queue) |
78 |
|
79 |
You can install the above by running: |
80 |
|
81 |
.. code-block:: console |
82 |
|
83 |
# apt-get install apache2 postgresql |
84 |
|
85 |
Make sure to install gunicorn >= v0.12.2. You can do this by installing from |
86 |
the official debian backports: |
87 |
|
88 |
.. code-block:: console |
89 |
|
90 |
# apt-get -t squeeze-backports install gunicorn |
91 |
|
92 |
On node1, we will create our databases, so you will also need the |
93 |
python-psycopg2 package: |
94 |
|
95 |
.. code-block:: console |
96 |
|
97 |
# apt-get install python-psycopg2 |
98 |
|
99 |
Database setup |
100 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
101 |
|
102 |
On node1, we create a database called ``snf_apps``, that will host all django |
103 |
apps related tables. We also create the user ``synnefo`` and grant him all |
104 |
privileges on the database. We do this by running: |
105 |
|
106 |
.. code-block:: console |
107 |
|
108 |
root@node1:~ # su - postgres |
109 |
postgres@node1:~ $ psql |
110 |
postgres=# CREATE DATABASE snf_apps WITH ENCODING 'UTF8' LC_COLLATE='C' LC_CTYPE='C' TEMPLATE=template0; |
111 |
postgres=# CREATE USER synnefo WITH PASSWORD 'example_passw0rd'; |
112 |
postgres=# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE snf_apps TO synnefo; |
113 |
|
114 |
We also create the database ``snf_pithos`` needed by the pithos+ backend and |
115 |
grant the ``synnefo`` user all privileges on the database. This database could |
116 |
be created on node2 instead, but we do it on node1 for simplicity. We will |
117 |
create all needed databases on node1 and then node2 will connect to them. |
118 |
|
119 |
.. code-block:: console |
120 |
|
121 |
postgres=# CREATE DATABASE snf_pithos WITH ENCODING 'UTF8' LC_COLLATE='C' LC_CTYPE='C' TEMPLATE=template0; |
122 |
postgres=# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE snf_pithos TO synnefo; |
123 |
|
124 |
Configure the database to listen to all network interfaces. You can do this by |
125 |
editting the file ``/etc/postgresql/8.4/main/postgresql.conf`` and change |
126 |
``listen_addresses`` to ``'*'`` : |
127 |
|
128 |
.. code-block:: console |
129 |
|
130 |
listen_addresses = '*' |
131 |
|
132 |
Furthermore, edit ``/etc/postgresql/8.4/main/pg_hba.conf`` to allow node1 and |
133 |
node2 to connect to the database. Add the following lines under ``#IPv4 local |
134 |
connections:`` : |
135 |
|
136 |
.. code-block:: console |
137 |
|
138 |
host all all 4.3.2.1/32 md5 |
139 |
host all all 4.3.2.2/32 md5 |
140 |
|
141 |
Make sure to substitute "4.3.2.1" and "4.3.2.2" with node1's and node2's |
142 |
actual IPs. Now, restart the server to apply the changes: |
143 |
|
144 |
.. code-block:: console |
145 |
|
146 |
# /etc/init.d/postgresql restart |
147 |
|
148 |
Gunicorn setup |
149 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
150 |
|
151 |
Create the file ``synnefo`` under ``/etc/gunicorn.d/`` containing the following: |
152 |
|
153 |
.. code-block:: console |
154 |
|
155 |
CONFIG = { |
156 |

165 |
'--workers=4', |
166 |
'--log-level=debug', |
167 |
), |
168 |
} |
169 |
|
170 |
.. warning:: Do NOT start the server yet, because it won't find the |
171 |
``synnefo.settings`` module. We will start the server after successful |
172 |
installation of astakos. If the server is running:: |
173 |
|
174 |
# /etc/init.d/gunicorn stop |
175 |
|
176 |
Apache2 setup |
177 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
178 |
|
179 |
Create the file ``synnefo`` under ``/etc/apache2/sites-available/`` containing |
180 |
the following: |
181 |
|
182 |
.. code-block:: console |
183 |

190 |
|
191 |
Create the file ``synnefo-ssl`` under ``/etc/apache2/sites-available/`` |
192 |
containing the following: |
193 |
|
194 |
.. code-block:: console |
195 |
|
196 |
<IfModule mod_ssl.c> |
197 |
<VirtualHost _default_:443> |
198 |

Now enable sites and modules by running: |
232 |
|
233 |
.. code-block:: console |
234 |
|
235 |
# a2enmod ssl |
236 |

246 |
|
247 |
Pithos+ data directory setup |
248 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
249 |
|
250 |
As mentioned in the General Prerequisites section, there is a directory called |
251 |
``/srv/pithos`` visible by both nodes. We create and setup the ``data`` |
252 |
directory inside it: |
253 |
|
254 |
.. code-block:: console |
255 |
|
256 |
# cd /srv/pithos |
257 |
# mkdir data |
258 |
# chown www-data:www-data data |
259 |
# chmod g+ws data |
260 |
|
261 |
You are now ready with all general prerequisites concerning node1. Let's go to |
262 |
node2. |
263 |
|
264 |
Node2 |
265 |
----- |
266 |
|
267 |
General Synnefo dependencies |
268 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
269 |
|
270 |
* apache (http server) |
271 |
* gunicorn (WSGI http server) |
272 |
* postgresql (database) |
273 |
* rabbitmq (message queue) |
274 |
|
275 |
You can install the above by running: |
276 |
|
277 |
.. code-block:: console |
278 |
|
279 |
# apt-get install apache2 postgresql |
280 |
|
281 |
Make sure to install gunicorn >= v0.12.2. You can do this by installing from |
282 |
the official debian backports: |
283 |
|
284 |
.. code-block:: console |
285 |
|
286 |
# apt-get -t squeeze-backports install gunicorn |
287 |
|
288 |
Node2 will connect to the databases on node1, so you will also need the |
289 |
python-psycopg2 package: |
290 |
|
291 |
.. code-block:: console |
292 |
|
293 |
# apt-get install python-psycopg2 |
294 |
|
295 |
Database setup |
296 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
297 |
|
298 |
All databases have been created and setup on node1, so we do not need to take |
299 |
any action here. From node2, we will just connect to them. When you get familiar |
300 |
with the software you may choose to run different databases on different nodes, |
301 |
for performance/scalability/redundancy reasons, but those kind of setups are out |
302 |
of the purpose of this guide. |
303 |
|
304 |
Gunicorn setup |
305 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
306 |
|
307 |
Create the file ``synnefo`` under ``/etc/gunicorn.d/`` containing the following |
308 |
(same contents as in node1; you can just copy/paste the file): |
309 |
|
310 |
.. code-block:: console |
311 |
|
312 |
CONFIG = { |
313 |
'mode': 'django', |
314 |

321 |
'--bind=127.0.0.1:8080', |
322 |

324 |
), |
325 |

326 |
|
327 |
.. warning:: Do NOT start the server yet, because it won't find the |

|
400 |
We are now ready with all general prerequisites for node2. Now that we have |
401 |
finished with all general prerequisites for both nodes, we can start installing |
402 |
the services. First, let's install Astakos on node1. |
403 |
|
404 |
|
405 |
Installation of Astakos on node1 |
406 |
================================ |
407 |
|
408 |
To install astakos, grab the package from our repository (make sure you made |
409 |
the additions needed in your ``/etc/apt/sources.list`` file, as described |
410 |
previously), by running: |
411 |
|
412 |
.. code-block:: console |
413 |
|
414 |
# apt-get install snf-astakos-app |
415 |
|
416 |
After successful installation of snf-astakos-app, make sure that also |
417 |
snf-webproject has been installed (marked as "Recommended" package). By default |
418 |
Debian installs "Recommended" packages, but if you have changed your |
419 |
configuration and the package didn't install automatically, you should |
420 |
explicitly install it manually running: |
421 |
|
422 |
.. code-block:: console |
423 |
|
424 |
# apt-get install snf-webproject |
425 |
|
426 |
The reason snf-webproject is "Recommended" and not a hard dependency, is to give |
427 |
the experienced administrator the ability to install synnefo in a custom made |
428 |
django project. This corner case concerns only very advanced users that know |
429 |
what they are doing and want to experiment with synnefo. |
430 |
|
431 |
|
432 |
Configuration of Astakos |
433 |
======================== |
434 |
|
435 |
Conf Files |
436 |
---------- |
437 |
|
438 |
After astakos is successfully installed, you will find the directory |
439 |
``/etc/synnefo`` and some configuration files inside it. The files contain |
440 |
commented configuration options, which are the default options. While installing |
441 |
new snf-* components, new configuration files will appear inside the directory. |
442 |
In this guide (and for all services), we will edit only the minimum necessary |
443 |
configuration options, to reflect our setup. Everything else will remain as is. |
444 |
|
445 |
After getting familiar with synnefo, you will be able to customize the software |
446 |
as you wish and fits your needs. Many options are available, to empower the |
447 |
administrator with extensively customizable setups. |
448 |
|
449 |
For the snf-webproject component (installed as an astakos dependency), we |
450 |
need the following: |
451 |
|
452 |
Edit ``/etc/synnefo/10-snf-webproject-database.conf``. You will need to |
453 |
uncomment and edit the ``DATABASES`` block to reflect our database: |
454 |
|
455 |
.. code-block:: console |
456 |
|
457 |
DATABASES = { |
458 |
'default': { |
459 |
# 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'postgresql','mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle' |
460 |
'ENGINE': 'postgresql_psycopg2', |
461 |
# ATTENTION: This *must* be the absolute path if using sqlite3. |
462 |
# See: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#name |
463 |
'NAME': 'snf_apps', |
464 |
'USER': 'synnefo', # Not used with sqlite3. |
465 |
'PASSWORD': 'examle_passw0rd', # Not used with sqlite3. |
466 |
# Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3. |
467 |
'HOST': '4.3.2.1', |
468 |
# Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3. |
469 |
'PORT': '5432', |
470 |
} |
471 |
} |
472 |
|
473 |
Edit ``/etc/synnefo/10-snf-webproject-deploy.conf``. Uncomment and edit |
474 |
``SECRET_KEY``. This is a django specific setting which is used to provide a |
475 |
seed in secret-key hashing algorithms. Set this to a random string of your |

For astakos specific configuration, edit the following options in |
483 |
``/etc/synnefo/20-snf-astakos-app-settings.conf`` : |
484 |
|
485 |
.. code-block:: console |

|
505 |
``ASTAKOS_IM_MODULES`` refers to the astakos login methods. For now only local |
506 |
is supported. The ``ASTAKOS_COOKIE_DOMAIN`` should be the base url of our |
507 |
domain (for all services). ``ASTAKOS_BASEURL`` is the astakos home page. |
508 |
``ASTAKOS_CLOUD_SERVICES`` contains all services visible to and served by |
509 |
astakos. The first element of the dictionary is used to point to a generic |
510 |
landing page for your services (cyclades, pithos). If you don't have such a |
511 |
page it can be omitted. The second and third element point to our services |
512 |
themselves (the apps) and should be set as above. |
513 |
|

Servers Initialization |
518 |
---------------------- |
519 |
|
520 |
After configuration is done, we initialize the servers on node1: |
521 |
|
522 |
.. code-block:: console |
523 |
|
524 |
root@node1:~ # /etc/init.d/gunicorn restart |
525 |
root@node1:~ # /etc/init.d/apache2 restart |
526 |
|
527 |
Database Initialization |
528 |
----------------------- |
529 |
|
530 |
Then, we initialize the database by running: |
531 |
|
532 |
.. code-block:: console |
533 |
|
534 |
# snf-manage syncdb |
535 |
|
536 |
At this example we don't need to create a django superuser, so we select |
537 |
``[no]`` to the question. After a successful sync, we run the migration needed |
538 |
for astakos: |
539 |
|
540 |
.. code-block:: console |
541 |
|
542 |
# snf-manage migrate im |
543 |
|
544 |
You have now finished the Astakos setup. Let's test it now. |
545 |
|
546 |
|
547 |
Testing of Astakos |
548 |
================== |
549 |
|
550 |
Open your favorite browser and go to: |
551 |
|
552 |
``http://node1.example.com/im`` |
553 |
|
554 |
If this redirects you to ``https://node1.example.com/im`` and you can see |
555 |
the "welcome" door of Astakos, then you have successfully setup Astakos. |
556 |
|
557 |
Let's create our first user. At the homepage click the "CREATE ACCOUNT" button |
558 |
and fill all your data at the sign up form. Then click "SUBMIT". You should now |
559 |
see a green box on the top, which informs you that you made a successful request |
560 |
and the request has been sent to the administrators. So far so good. |
561 |
|
562 |
Now we need to activate that user. Return to a command prompt at node1 and run: |
563 |
|
564 |
.. code-block:: console |
565 |
|
566 |
root@node1:~ # snf-manage listusers |
567 |
|
568 |
This command should show you a list with only one user; the one we just created. |
569 |
This user should have an id with a value of ``1``. It should also have an |
570 |
"active" status with the value of ``0`` (inactive). Now run: |
571 |
|
572 |
.. code-block:: console |
573 |
|
574 |
root@node1:~ # snf-manage modifyuser --set-active 1 |
575 |
|
576 |
This modifies the active value to ``1``, and actually activates the user. |
577 |
When running in production, the activation is done automatically with different |
578 |
types of moderation, that Astakos supports. You can see the moderation methods |
579 |
(by invitation, whitelists, matching regexp, etc.) at the Astakos specific |
580 |
documentation. In production, you can also manually activate a user, by sending |
581 |
him/her an activation email. See how to do this at the :ref:`User |
582 |
activation <user_activation>` section. |
583 |
|
584 |
Now let's go back to the homepage. Open ``http://node1.example.com/im`` with |
585 |
your browser again. Try to sign in using your new credentials. If the astakos |
586 |
menu appears and you can see your profile, then you have successfully setup |
587 |
Astakos. |
588 |
|
589 |
Let's continue to install Pithos+ now. |
590 |
|
591 |
|
592 |
Installation of Pithos+ on node2 |
593 |
================================ |
594 |
|
595 |
To install pithos+, grab the packages from our repository (make sure you made |
596 |
the additions needed in your ``/etc/apt/sources.list`` file, as described |
597 |
previously), by running: |
598 |
|
599 |
.. code-block:: console |
600 |
|
601 |
# apt-get install snf-pithos-app |
602 |
|
603 |
After successful installation of snf-pithos-app, make sure that also |
604 |
snf-webproject has been installed (marked as "Recommended" package). Refer to |
605 |
the "Installation of Astakos on node1" section, if you don't remember why this |
606 |
should happen. Now, install the pithos web interface: |
607 |
|
608 |
.. code-block:: console |
609 |
|
610 |
# apt-get install snf-pithos-webclient |
611 |
|
612 |
This package provides the standalone pithos web client. The web client is the |
613 |
web UI for pithos+ and will be accessible by clicking "pithos+" on the Astakos |
614 |
interface's cloudbar, at the top of the Astakos homepage. |
615 |
|
616 |
Configuration of Pithos+ |
617 |
======================== |
618 |
|
619 |
Conf Files |
620 |
---------- |
621 |
|
622 |
After pithos+ is successfully installed, you will find the directory |
623 |
``/etc/synnefo`` and some configuration files inside it, as you did in node1 |
624 |
after installation of astakos. Here, you will not have to change anything that |
625 |
has to do with snf-common or snf-webproject. Everything is set at node1. You |
626 |
only need to change settings that have to do with pithos+. Specifically: |
627 |
|
628 |
Edit ``/etc/synnefo/20-snf-pithos-app-settings.conf``. There you need to set |
629 |
only the two options: |
630 |
|
631 |
.. code-block:: console |
632 |
|
633 |
PITHOS_BACKEND_DB_CONNECTION = 'postgresql://synnefo:example_passw0rd@node1.example.com:5432/snf_pithos' |
634 |
|
635 |
PITHOS_BACKEND_BLOCK_PATH = '/srv/pithos/data' |
636 |
|
637 |
The ``PITHOS_BACKEND_DB_CONNECTION`` option tells to the pithos+ backend where |
638 |
to find its database. Above we tell pithos+ that its database is ``snf_pithos`` |
639 |
at node1 and to connect as user ``synnefo`` with password ``example_passw0rd``. |
640 |
All those settings where setup during node1's "Database setup" section. |
641 |
|
642 |
The ``PITHOS_BACKEND_BLOCK_PATH`` option tells to the pithos+ backend where to |
643 |
store its data. Above we tell pithos+ to store its data under |
644 |
``/srv/pithos/data``, which is visible by both nodes. We have already setup this |
645 |
directory at node1's "Pithos+ data directory setup" section. |
646 |
|
647 |
Then we need to setup the web UI and connect it to astakos. To do so, edit |
648 |
``/etc/synnefo/20-snf-pithos-webclient-settings.conf``: |
649 |
|
650 |
.. code-block:: console |
651 |
|
652 |
PITHOS_UI_LOGIN_URL = "https://node1.example.com/im/login?next=" |
653 |
PITHOS_UI_FEEDBACK_URL = "https://node1.example.com/im/feedback" |
654 |
|
655 |
The ``PITHOS_UI_LOGIN_URL`` option tells the client where to redirect you, if |
656 |
you are not logged in. The ``PITHOS_UI_FEEDBACK_URL`` option points at the |
657 |
pithos+ feedback form. Astakos already provides a generic feedback form for all |
658 |
services, so we use this one. |
659 |
|
660 |
Then edit ``/etc/synnefo/20-snf-pithos-webclient-cloudbar.conf``, to connect the |
661 |
pithos+ web UI with the astakos web UI (through the top cloudbar): |
662 |
|
663 |
.. code-block:: console |
664 |
|
665 |
CLOUDBAR_LOCATION = 'https://node1.example.com/static/im/cloudbar/' |
666 |
CLOUDBAR_ACTIVE_SERVICE = 'pithos' |
667 |
CLOUDBAR_SERVICES_URL = 'https://node1.example.com/im/get_services' |
668 |
CLOUDBAR_MENU_URL = 'https://node1.example.com/im/get_menu' |
669 |
|
670 |
The ``CLOUDBAR_LOCATION`` tells the client where to find the astakos common |
671 |
cloudbar. |
672 |
|
673 |
The ``CLOUDBAR_ACTIVE_SERVICE`` registers the client as a new service served by |
674 |
astakos. It's name should be identical with the ``id`` name given at the |
675 |
astakos' ``ASTAKOS_CLOUD_SERVICES`` variable. Note that at the Astakos "Conf |
676 |
Files" section, we actually set the third item of the ``ASTAKOS_CLOUD_SERVICES`` |
677 |
list, to the dictionary: |
678 |
``{ 'url':'https://nod...', 'name':'pithos+', 'id':'pithos }``. This item |
679 |
represents the pithos+ service. The ``id`` we set there, is the ``id`` we want |
680 |
here. |
681 |
|
682 |
The ``CLOUDBAR_SERVICES_URL`` and ``CLOUDBAR_MENU_URL`` options are used by the |
683 |
pithos+ web client to get from astakos all the information needed to fill its |
684 |
own cloudbar. So we put our astakos deployment urls there. |
685 |
|
686 |
Servers Initialization |
687 |
---------------------- |
688 |
|
689 |
After configuration is done, we initialize the servers on node2: |
690 |
|
691 |
.. code-block:: console |
692 |
|
693 |
root@node2:~ # /etc/init.d/gunicorn restart |
694 |
root@node2:~ # /etc/init.d/apache2 restart |
695 |
|
696 |
You have now finished the Pithos+ setup. Let's test it now. |
697 |
|
698 |
|
699 |
Testing of Pithos+ |

================== |
701 |
|
702 |
|
703 |
Installation of Cyclades (and Plankton) on node1 |
704 |
================================================ |
705 |
|
706 |
Installation of cyclades is a two step process: |
707 |
|
708 |
1. install the external services (prerequisites) on which cyclades depends |
709 |
2. install the synnefo software components associated with cyclades |
710 |
|
711 |
Prerequisites |
712 |
------------- |
713 |
.. _cyclades-install-ganeti: |
714 |
|
715 |
Ganeti installation |
716 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
717 |
|
718 |
Synnefo requires a working Ganeti installation at the backend. Installation |
719 |
of Ganeti is not covered by this document, please refer to |
720 |
`ganeti documentation <http://docs.ganeti.org/ganeti/current/html>`_ for all the |
721 |
gory details. A successful Ganeti installation concludes with a working |
722 |
:ref:`GANETI-MASTER <GANETI_NODES>` and a number of :ref:`GANETI-NODEs <GANETI_NODES>`. |
723 |
|
724 |
.. _cyclades-install-db: |

731 |
|
732 |
.. _cyclades-install-rabbitmq: |
733 |
|
734 |
RabbitMQ |
735 |
~~~~~~~~ |
736 |
|
737 |
RabbitMQ is used as a generic message broker for cyclades. It should be |
738 |
installed on two seperate :ref:`QUEUE <QUEUE_NODE>` nodes in a high availability |
739 |
configuration as described here: |
740 |
|
741 |
http://www.rabbitmq.com/pacemaker.html |
742 |
|
743 |
After installation, create a user and set its permissions: |
744 |
|
745 |
.. code-block:: console |
746 |
|
747 |
$ rabbitmqctl add_user <username> <password> |
748 |
$ rabbitmqctl set_permissions -p / <username> "^.*" ".*" ".*" |
749 |
|
750 |
The values set for the user and password must be mirrored in the |
751 |
``RABBIT_*`` variables in your settings, as managed by |
752 |
:ref:`snf-common <snf-common>`. |
753 |

758 |
|
759 |
vncauthproxy |
760 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
761 |
|
762 |
To support OOB console access to the VMs over VNC, the vncauthproxy |
763 |
daemon must be running on every :ref:`APISERVER <APISERVER_NODE>` node. |
764 |
|
765 |
.. note:: The Debian package for vncauthproxy undertakes all configuration |
766 |
automatically. |
767 |
|
768 |
Download and install the latest vncauthproxy from its own repository, |
769 |
at `https://code.grnet.gr/git/vncauthproxy`, or a specific commit: |
770 |
|
771 |
.. code-block:: console |
772 |
|
773 |
$ bin/pip install -e git+https://code.grnet.gr/git/vncauthproxy@INSERT_COMMIT_HERE#egg=vncauthproxy |
774 |
|
775 |
Create ``/var/log/vncauthproxy`` and set its permissions appropriately. |
776 |
|
777 |
Alternatively, build and install Debian packages. |
778 |
|
779 |
.. code-block:: console |
780 |
|
781 |
$ git checkout debian |
782 |

vncauthproxy is not included in `MacOSX` by default and installing it with |
790 |
MacPorts does not lead to a version that can be found by the gevent |
791 |
build process. A quick workaround is to execute the following commands:: |
792 |
|
793 |
$ cd $SYNNEFO |
794 |
$ sudo pip install -e git+https://code.grnet.gr/git/vncauthproxy@5a196d8481e171a#egg=vncauthproxy |

NFDHCPD |
807 |
~~~~~~~ |
808 |
|
809 |
Setup Synnefo-specific networking on the Ganeti backend. |
810 |
This part is deployment-specific and must be customized based on the |
811 |
specific needs of the system administrators. |
812 |
|
813 |
A reference installation will use a Synnefo-specific KVM ifup script, |
814 |
NFDHCPD and pre-provisioned Linux bridges to support public and private |
815 |
network functionality. For this: |
816 |
|
817 |
Grab NFDHCPD from its own repository (https://code.grnet.gr/git/nfdhcpd), |
818 |
install it, modify ``/etc/nfdhcpd/nfdhcpd.conf`` to reflect your network |
819 |
configuration. |
820 |
|
821 |
Install a custom KVM ifup script for use by Ganeti, as |
822 |
``/etc/ganeti/kvm-vif-bridge``, on GANETI-NODEs. A sample implementation is |
823 |
provided under ``/contrib/ganeti-hooks``. Set ``NFDHCPD_STATE_DIR`` to point |
824 |
to NFDHCPD's state directory, usually ``/var/lib/nfdhcpd``. |

829 |
|
830 |
snf-image |
831 |
~~~~~~~~~ |
832 |
|
833 |
Install the :ref:`snf-image <snf-image>` Ganeti OS provider for image |
834 |
deployment. |
835 |
|
836 |
For :ref:`cyclades <cyclades>` to be able to launch VMs from specified |
837 |
Images, you need the snf-image OS Provider installed on *all* Ganeti nodes. |
838 |
|
839 |
Please see `https://code.grnet.gr/projects/snf-image/wiki`_ |
840 |
for installation instructions and documentation on the design |
841 |
and implementation of snf-image. |
842 |
|
843 |
Please see `https://code.grnet.gr/projects/snf-image/files` |
844 |
for the latest packages. |
845 |
|
846 |
Images should be stored in ``extdump``, or ``diskdump`` format in a directory |
847 |
of your choice, configurable as ``IMAGE_DIR`` in |
848 |
:file:`/etc/default/snf-image`. |
849 |
|
850 |
synnefo components |
851 |
------------------ |
852 |
|
853 |
You need to install the appropriate synnefo software components on each node, |
854 |
depending on its type, see :ref:`Architecture <cyclades-architecture>`. |
855 |
|
856 |
Most synnefo components have dependencies on additional Python packages. |
857 |
The dependencies are described inside each package, and are setup |
858 |
automatically when installing using :command:`pip`, or when installing |
859 |
using your system's package manager. |
860 |
|
861 |
Please see the page of each synnefo software component for specific |
862 |
installation instructions, where applicable. |
863 |
|
864 |
Install the following synnefo components: |
865 |
|
866 |
Nodes of type :ref:`APISERVER <APISERVER_NODE>` |
867 |
Components |
868 |
:ref:`snf-common <snf-common>`, |
869 |
:ref:`snf-webproject <snf-webproject>`, |
870 |

This section targets the configuration of the prerequisites for cyclades, |
886 |
and the configuration of the associated synnefo software components. |
887 |
