Two deployment options are suggested here to deploy an openshift origin provider for ManageIQ:
- using openshift-ansible to deploy RPM packages on a cluster
- using CodeReady Containers to deploy openshift source to a vm
You can also use oc cluster up
and configure it yourself (instructions not
provided) as another alternative.
Get openshift-ansible:
$ git clone https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible.git
Generate an ssh key if needed:
$ ssh-keygen
Configure ssh key authentication to all the machines:
$ ssh-copy-id root@hostname
The inventory file describes all the nodes and masters in the cluster. A simple example file for a cluster composed of two machines (Master and Node):
[OSEv3:children]
masters
nodes
[OSEv3:vars]
ansible_ssh_user=root
deployment_type=origin
[masters]
master_hostname openshift_scheduleable=True
[nodes]
master_hostname
node_hostname
There are more like variables like use_metrics
to enable other options in
OpenShift. A more detailed example can be found in
inventory/byo/hosts.origin.example
. Specifically, to deploy metrics and
logging use openshift_hosted_metrics_deploy=True
and
openshift_hosted_logging_deploy=True
$ ansible-playbook playbooks/byo/config.yml -i path/to/inventory/file
If you want to develop with an OpenShift 4 provider, CodeReady Containers (CRC) is a great option. It provides all of benefits as minishift (a simple single vm openshift on your development machine) but is an OpenShift v4 cluster.
CodeReady Containers
(Installation Instructions)- A compatible Operating System
-
Download ane extract the latest release of CRC
tar xfJ crc-linux-amd64.tar.xz
-
Copy the crc binary to a location on your PATH
sudo install crc-linux-2.39.0-amd64/crc /usr/local/bin/crc which crc /usr/local/bin/crc
-
Setup and start CRC (it will ask for an image pull secret which you can get from cloud.redhat.com)
crc setup INFO Checking if oc binary is cached ... Setup is complete, you can now run 'crc start' to start the OpenShift cluster crc start ... ? Image pull secret [? for help]
-
Login to the cluster with
oc
, the command will be printed whencrc start
finishes or you can callcrc console --credentials
crc console --credentials oc login -u kubeadmin -p KUBEADMING_PASSWORD https://api.crc.testing:6443
-
Now you can setup the project and service account for use with ManageIQ by following the documentation: https://www.manageiq.org/docs/reference/latest/managing_providers/containers_providers/red_hat_openshift_providers.html
ManageIQ/manageiq-providers-openshift#75 added a script that creates things from template, records 1st vcr, deletes some things, records 2nd.
Currently if you want to copy VCR to manageiq-providers-kubernetes, the spec there assumes Hawkular metrics were running.
-
Easiest to use script with minishift/crc.
Haveminishift
orcrc
in your PATH. As described above, including manageiq addon. Don't need--metrics
. -
Alternatively bring your own openshift. Set
OPENSHIFT_MASTER_HOST
env var. Performoc login
as a user havingcluster-admin
role.
Then run in manageiq-providers-openshift repo:
./spec/vcr_cassettes/manageiq/providers/openshift/container_manager/test_objects_record.sh
You may need to adjust specs if object counts and/or names changed (ideally, figure out why and how to make it more reproducible).
There are text files near the .yml files that help tracking what changed vs previous VCRs, commit them together.
