Running DevStack on the Rackspace public cloud
This document describes how to run DevStack on the Rackspace public cloud.
Some alternative options are:
CentOS DevStack on RAX
Create a CentOS 7 server using the 8GB General Purpose v1 flavor with an appropriate ssh key, and the standard public and service networks.
Access the machine using ssh as root:
$ ssh root@123.456.789
Update the machine, then clone the devstack repository:
# yum update -y # git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack-dev/devstack
Create the stack user by running the create-stack-user.sh script:
# ./devstack/tools/create-stack-user.shSwitch to the stack user and clone the devstack repository again:
# su - stack $ git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack-dev/devstack
Install DevStack by running the stack.sh script:
$ ./devstack/stack.sh
Specify passwords when required by the installation script.
After the installation finishes, log out as the stack user:
$ exit
As root, create an admin-openrc.sh file in /root with the following contents. Sourcing this file sets certain environment variables to save typing when running openstack commands. Substitute the password and IP address of your devstack:
export OS_PROJECT_DOMAIN_ID=default export OS_USER_DOMAIN_ID=default export OS_PROJECT_NAME=admin export OS_TENANT_NAME=admin export OS_USERNAME=admin export OS_PASSWORD=PASSWORD export OS_AUTH_URL=http://123.456.789:5000/v3 export OS_IDENTITY_API_VERSION=3``
Source the admin-openrc.sh file:
# source admin-openrc.shGenerate and add a key pair:
# ssh-keygen -q -N "" # nova keypair-add --pub-key .ssh/id_rsa.pub mykey
Verify addition of the key pair:
# nova keypair-list +-------+-------------------------------------------------+ | Name | Fingerprint | +-------+-------------------------------------------------+ | mykey | 6c:74:ec:3a:08:05:4e:9e:21:22:a6:dd:b2:62:b8:28 | +-------+-------------------------------------------------+
Add ping and SSH security rules:
# nova secgroup-add-rule default icmp -1 -1 0.0.0.0/0 +-------------+-----------+---------+-----------+--------------+ | IP Protocol | From Port | To Port | IP Range | Source Group | +-------------+-----------+---------+-----------+--------------+ | icmp | -1 | -1 | 0.0.0.0/0 | | +-------------+-----------+---------+-----------+--------------+ # nova secgroup-add-rule default tcp 22 22 0.0.0.0/0 +-------------+-----------+---------+-----------+--------------+ | IP Protocol | From Port | To Port | IP Range | Source Group | +-------------+-----------+---------+-----------+--------------+ | tcp | 22 | 22 | 0.0.0.0/0 | | +-------------+-----------+---------+-----------+--------------+
Add a cirros image to the Glance repository:
# wget http://download.cirros-cloud.net/0.3.4/cirros-0.3.4-x86_64-disk.img # glance image-create --name "cirros" \ --file cirros-0.3.4-x86_64-disk.img --disk-format qcow2 \ --container-format bare --visibility public --progress
