Installing OpenShift Origin against existing hosts

Requirements

  • ansible 1.9.4

    • Available in Fedora channels
    • Available for EL with EPEL and Optional channel

  • One or more RHEL 7.1+, CentOS 7.1+, or Fedora 23+ VMs

  • Either ssh key based auth for the root user or ssh key based auth for a user with sudo access (no password)

  • A checkout of openshift-ansible from https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible/

    git clone https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible.git
cd openshift-ansible

Known Issues

  • RHEL - Host subscriptions are not configurable yet, the hosts need to be pre-registered with subscription-manager or have the RHEL base repo pre-configured. If using subscription-manager the following commands will disable all but the rhel-7-server rhel-7-server-extras and rhel-server7-ose-beta repos:
subscription-manager repos --disable="*"
subscription-manager repos \
--enable="rhel-7-server-rpms" \
--enable="rhel-7-server-extras-rpms" \
--enable="rhel-7-server-ose-3.0-rpms"
  • Configuration of router is not automated yet
  • Configuration of docker-registry is not automated yet
  • Fedora 23+ doesn't come with python2 and will need a quick bootstrap. Setup your inventory as described below and run the following (substituting the $PATH_TO_INVENTORY_FILE with the actual path to your inventory file):
ansible-playbook ./playbooks/adhoc/bootstrap-fedora.yml -i $PATH_TO_INVENTORY_FILE

Configuring the host inventory

Ansible docs

Example inventory file for configuring one master and two nodes for the test environment. This can be configured in the default inventory file (/etc/ansible/hosts), or using a custom file and passing the --inventory option to ansible-playbook.

/etc/ansible/hosts:

# This is an example of a bring your own (byo) host inventory

# Create an OSEv3 group that contains the masters and nodes groups
[OSEv3:children]
masters
nodes

# Set variables common for all OSEv3 hosts
[OSEv3:vars]

# SSH user, this user should allow ssh based auth without requiring a password
ansible_ssh_user=root

# If ansible_ssh_user is not root, ansible_sudo must be set to true
#ansible_sudo=true

deployment_type=origin

# host group for masters
[masters]
osv3-master.example.com

# host group for nodes
[nodes]
osv3-master.example.com
osv3-node[1:2].example.com

# host group for etcd
[etcd]
osv3-etcd[1:3].example.com

[lb]
osv3-lb.example.com

The hostnames above should resolve both from the hosts themselves and the host where ansible is running (if different).

A more complete example inventory file (hosts.origin.example) is available under the /inventory/byo directory.

Running the ansible playbooks

From the openshift-ansible checkout run:

ansible-playbook playbooks/byo/config.yml

Note: this assumes that the host inventory is /etc/ansible/hosts, if using a different inventory file use the -i option for ansible-playbook.

Post-ansible steps

You should now be ready to follow the What's Next? section of the advanced installation guide to deploy your router, registry, and other components.

Overriding detected ip addresses and hostnames

Some deployments will require that the user override the detected hostnames and ip addresses for the hosts. To see what the default values will be you can run the openshift_facts playbook:

ansible-playbook playbooks/byo/openshift_facts.yml

The output will be similar to:

ok: [10.3.9.45] => {

        "ansible_facts": {

    }
}

Now, we want to verify the detected common settings to verify that they are what we expect them to be (if not, we can override them).

  • hostname
    • Should resolve to the internal ip from the instances themselves.
    • openshift_hostname will override.
  • ip
    • Should be the internal ip of the instance.
    • openshift_ip will override.
  • public hostname
    • Should resolve to the external ip from hosts outside of the cloud
    • provider openshift_public_hostname will override.
  • public_ip
    • Should be the externally accessible ip associated with the instance
    • openshift_public_ip will override
  • use_openshift_sdn
    • Should be true unless the cloud is GCE.
    • openshift_use_openshift_sdn overrides

To override the the defaults, you can set the variables in your inventory:

...snip...
[masters]
osv3-master.example.com openshift_ip=1.1.1.1 openshift_hostname=osv3-master.example.com openshift_public_ip=2.2.2.2 openshift_public_hostname=osv3-master.public.example.com
...snip...
