# OpenStack Third-Party CI
These instructions provide a **Third Party Testing** solution using the same
tools and scripts used by the OpenStack Infrastructure 'Jenkins' CI
system.
If you are setting up a similar system for use outside of OpenStack, many of these
steps are still valid, while others can be skipped. These will be mentioned within
each step.
If you are creating a third-party CI system for use within OpenStack,
you'll need to familiarize yourself with the contents of the
[third party manual](http://docs.openstack.org/infra/system-config/third_party.html),
and in particular you'll need to [create a service account]
(http://docs.openstack.org/infra/system-config/third_party.html#creating-a-service-account).
## Overview
This CI solution uses a few open-source tools:
* [Jenkins](http://docs.openstack.org/infra/system-config/jenkins.html) - an open-source continuous integration server.
* [Zuul](http://docs.openstack.org/infra/system-config/zuul.html) - a project gating system
* [Nodepool](http://docs.openstack.org/infra/system-config/nodepool.html)- a node management system for testing
* [Jenkins Job Builder](http://docs.openstack.org/infra/system-config/jjb.html) - a tool to manage jenkins job definitions
* [os-loganalyze](http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/os-loganalyze/) - a tool to facilitate
browsing, sharing, and filtering log files by log level.
The following steps will help you integrate and deploy the first 4 tools on a single
node. An initial system with 8GB RAM, 4CPUs, 80GB HD should be sufficient,
running Ubuntu 14.04.
A second node will be used to store the log files and create a public log server to
host the static log files generated by jenkins jobs. This log server node is an Apache
server serving log files stored on disk or on a Swift service.
It is hosted on a separate node because it usually
needs to be publicly accessible to share job results whereas the rest of the CI
system can be located behind a firewall or within a VPN. At the end of a Jenkins Job,
`publishers` will scp log files from the jenkins slave to the log server node or upload
to the Swift Service.
The system requires two external resources:
* A source for Nodepool nodes. This is a service that implements the OpenStack Nova API
to provide virtual machines or bare metal nodes. Nodepool will use this service to
manage a pool of Jenkins slaves that will run the actual CI jobs.
You can use a public or private OpenStack cloud, or even run your own
[devstack](https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-dev/devstack/) to get started.
* A Gerrit server (for OpenStack users, this is provided to you at review.openstack.org)
Zuul will listen to the Gerrit event stream to decide which jobs to run when it receives
a desired event. Zuul will also post a comment with results to this Gerrit server with the
job results along with a link to the related log files.
These instructions are for a 'masterless' puppet setup, which is the simplest
version to set up for those not familiar with puppet.
## Install and Configure Puppet
On each node, you will need to install and configure puppet. These scripts assume
a dedicated 'clean' node built with a base [ubuntu 14.04 server image](http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server).
### Install Puppet
Puppet is a tool to automate the installation of servers by defining the desired
end state. You can quickly install puppet along with basic tools (such as pip and git)
using this script:
sudo su -
wget https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/system-config/plain/install_puppet.sh
bash install_puppet.sh
exit
### Install Puppet Modules
You can get the latest version of the puppet modules needed using this script.
sudo su -
git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack-infra/system-config
cd system-config
./install_modules.sh
exit
This script will install all the puppet modules used by upstream to
`/etc/puppet/modules`. In many cases, these are git cloned, and running
the `install_modules.sh` script again will update them to the latest version.
This script uses `modules.env` as its configuration input.
### Configure Masterless Puppet
The instructions in this section apply to both the single-node CI server node as
well as the log server node.
It is useful to save the history, so set up a
git repo as root user:
sudo su -
cd /etc/puppet
git init
echo "modules/" >> .gitignore
git add .
git commit -m "initial files"
exit
You will be configuring 3 puppet files. The first is `site.pp` which is the top
level entry point for puppet to start managing the node. The second is a `hiera.yaml`
which configures Puppet Hiera to store local configurations and secrets
such as passwords and private keys, and finally some `yaml` files which store the
actual configurations and secrets.
Set up these 3 files by starting with the samples provided. For each node,
select the corresponding `single_node_ci*` or `log_server*` files.
sudo su -
cp /etc/puppet/modules/openstackci/contrib/hiera.yaml /etc/puppet
cp /etc/puppet/modules/openstackci/contrib/single_node_ci_site.pp /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp
cp /etc/puppet/modules/openstackci/contrib/single_node_ci_data.yaml /etc/puppet/environments/common.yaml
OR
cp /etc/puppet/modules/openstackci/contrib/log_server_site.pp /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp
cp /etc/puppet/modules/openstackci/contrib/log_server_data.yaml /etc/puppet/environments/common.yaml
exit
At this point, you should not need to modify either of the first two files.
Modify `/etc/puppet/environments/common.yaml` as you need using the parameter
documentation described in [single_node_ci.pp](http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/puppet-openstackci/tree/manifests/single_node_ci.pp)
or [logserver.pp](http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/puppet-openstackci/tree/manifests/logserver.pp)
(which are the top level puppet class that is used in `site.pp`).
Once completed, you should commit these 3 files to the `/etc/puppet` git repo.
Your git workflow may vary a bit, but here is an example:
sudo su -
cd /etc/puppet
git checkout -b setup
git add environments/common.yaml
# repeat for other modified files
git commit -a -m 'initial setup'
exit
# Set up the log server
Set up the log server node first as it is simpler to configure. Besides, its FQDN
(or IP address) is needed to set up the CI server node.
While setting up jenkins_ssh_public_key in `common.yaml` it is important that
the same ssh key pair is used when setting up the CI server node in the next step.
This is the ssh key that Jenkins will use to scp files.
At this point you are ready to invoke Puppet for the first time. Puppet needs to
be run as root.
sudo puppet apply --verbose /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp
You can simulate a jenkins file upload using:
scp -i $JENKINS_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no $your-log-file jenkins@<fqdn_or_ip>:/srv/static/logs/
You should now be able to see the file you uploaded at `http://<fqnd_or_ip>/$your-log-file`
# Set up the CI server
Follow the steps above to install and configure puppet on the CI server node.
## Create an Initial 'project-config' Repository
Setting up a CI system consists of two major operational aspects. The first is
system configuration, which focuses on the installation and deployment of the
services, including any ssh keys, credentials, databases, etc., and ensure all
system components are able to interact together. This portion is
performed by a System Administrator.
The second is project configuration, which includes the configuration files
that the services use to perform the desired project-specific operations.
The instructions provided here are mainly focused on the system configuration aspect.
However, system configuration requires an initial set of project configurations in order
to work. These project configurations are provided via a git URL to a `project-config` repository.
Before moving on, create an initial `project-config` repository. You can start with this
[project-config-example](https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/project-config-example/)
following the instructions provided in its README.md. While tailored for OpenStack users,
the instructions provided will help non-OpenStack users also start with this repository.
After your system is deployed, you can make further changes to the `project-config`
repository to continuously tailor it to your needs.
## Add 'jenkins' to your host name
Add 'jenkins' to your /etc/hosts file so that Apache (which will be installed by
the puppet scripts) is happy. This is needed because the scripts will install
multiple services on a single node. For example:
head -n 1 /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost jenkins
## Run masterless Puppet
At this point you are ready to invoke Puppet for the first time. Puppet needs to
be run as root.
sudo puppet apply --verbose /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp
Puppet will install nodepool, jenkins, zuul, jenkins jobs builder, etc.
Your `project-config` repository will be cloned to /etc/project-config, and the puppet scripts
will use these configuration files located in this folder. Do not update these files directly.
Instead, you should update them from a clone on a dev host, merge the changes to master, and push
them to the same git remote location. Puppet will always pull down the latest version of master
from the git remote and use that to update services.
If you get the following error, manually run the failed `jenkins-jobs update` command with
the arguments specified in the error message as root. This is caused by a bug in the puppet
scripts where Jenkins is not yet running when Jenkins Job Builder attempts to load the
Jenkins jobs.
Notice: /Stage[main]/Jenkins::Job_builder/Exec[jenkins_jobs_update]/returns: jenkins.JenkinsException: Error in request: [Errno 111] Connection refused
Notice: /Stage[main]/Jenkins::Job_builder/Exec[jenkins_jobs_update]/returns: INFO:jenkins_jobs.builder:Cache saved
Error: /Stage[main]/Jenkins::Job_builder/Exec[jenkins_jobs_update]: Failed to call refresh: jenkins-jobs update --delete-old /etc/jenkins_jobs/config returned 1 instead of one of [0]
Error: /Stage[main]/Jenkins::Job_builder/Exec[jenkins_jobs_update]: jenkins-jobs update --delete-old /etc/jenkins_jobs/config returned 1 instead of one of [0]
## Restart apache if necessary
There are some known issues with Puppet automation. If you get the following error:
AH00526: Syntax error on line 21 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/50-<fqdn/ip>.conf:
Invalid command 'RewriteEngine', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
A simple restart works around the issue:
sudo service apache2 restart
## Start zuul
We'll start zuul first:
sudo service zuul start
sudo service zuul-merger start
You should see 2 zuul-server processes and 1 zuul-merger process
ps -ef | grep zuul
zuul 5722 1 2 18:13 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/local/bin/zuul-server
zuul 5725 5722 0 18:13 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/local/bin/zuul-server
zuul 5741 1 2 18:13 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/local/bin/zuul-merger
You can view the log files for any errors:
view /var/log/zuul/zuul.log
Most zuul files are located in either of the following directories. They should not need
to be modified directly, but are useful to help identify root causes:
/var/lib/zuul
/etc/zuul
## Start nodepool
The first time starting nodepool, it's recommended to manually build the image
to aid in debugging any issues:
sudo su - nodepool
# Ensure the NODEPOOL_SSH_KEY variable is in the environment
# Otherwise nodepool won't be able to ssh into nodes based
# on the image built manually using these instructions
source /etc/default/nodepool
# In the command below <image-name> references one of the
# images defined in your project-config/nodepool/nodepool.yaml
# file as the 'name' field in the section 'diskimages'.
nodepool image-build <image-name>
If you run into issues building the image, the [documentation provided
here can help you debug](https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/project-config/tree/nodepool/elements/README.rst)
After you have successfully built an image, manually upload it to the provider to ensure
provider authentication and image uploading work:
nodepool image-upload all <image-name>
Once successful, you can start nodepool.
(Note that if you don't yet have an image, this is one of the first actions nodepool
will do when it starts, before creating any nodes):
sudo service nodepool start
You should see at least one process running. In particular:
ps -ef | grep nodepool
nodepool 5786 1 28 18:14 ? 00:00:01 /usr/bin/python /usr/local/bin/nodepoold -c /etc/nodepool/nodepool.yaml -l /etc/nodepool/logging.conf
After building and uploading the images to the providers, nodepool will
start to build nodes on those providers based on the image
and will register those nodes as jenkins slaves.
If that does not happen, the nodepool log files will help identify the causes.
view /var/log/nodepool/nodepool.log
view /var/log/nodepool/debug.log
Most nodepool configuration files are located in either of the following directories. They should never
to be modified directly as puppet will overwrite any changes, but are useful to help identify root causes:
/etc/nodepool
/home/nodepool/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml
## Setup Jenkins
First Restart Jenkins so that plugins will be fully installed:
sudo service jenkins restart
Then open the Jenkins UI to finish manual configuration steps.
Enable Gearman, which is the Jenkins plugin zuul uses to queue jobs:
http://<host fqdn/ip>:8080/
Manage Jenkins --> Configure System
Under "Gearman Plugin Config" Check the box "Enable Gearman"
Click "Test Connection" It should return success if zuul is running.
Enable ZMQ Event Publisher, which is how nodepool is notified of Jenkin
slaves status events:
http://<host fqdn/ip>:8080/
Manage Jenkins --> Configure System
Under "ZMQ Event Publisher"
Check the box "Enable on all Jobs"
## Securing Jenkins (optional)
By default, Jenkins is installed with security disabled. While this is fine
for development environments where external access to Jenkins UI is restricted,
you are strongly encouraged to enable it. You can skip this step and do it
at a later time if you wish:
Create a jenkins 'credentials':
http://<host fqdn/ip>:8080/
Manage Jenkins --> Add Credentials --> SSH Username with private key
Username 'jenkins'
Private key --> From a file on Jenkins master
"/var/lib/jenkins/.ssh/id_rsa"
--> Save
Save the credential uuid in your hiera data:
sudo su jenkins
cat /var/lib/jenkins/credentials.xml | grep "<id>"
Copy the id to the 'jenkins_credentials_id' value in /etc/puppet/environments/common.yaml
Enable basic Jenkins security:
http://<host fqdn/ip>:8080/
Manage Jenkins --> Configure Global Security
Check "Enable Security"
Under "Security Realm"
Select Jenkin's own user database
Uncheck allow users to sign up
Under "Authorization" select "logged-in users can do anything"
Create a user 'jenkins'
Choose a password.
check 'Sign up'
Save the password to the 'jenkins_password' value in /etc/puppet/environments/common.yaml
Get the new 'jenkins' user API token:
http://<host fqdn/ip>:8080/
Manage Jenkins --> People --> Select user 'jenkins' --> configure --> Show API Token
Save this token to the 'jenkins_api_key' value in /etc/puppet/environments/common.yaml
Reconfigure your system to use Jenkins security settings stored in
`/etc/puppet/environments/common.yaml`
sudo puppet apply --verbose /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp
# Updating your masterless puppet hosts
Any time you check-in changes to your `project-config` repo, make changes to the
hiera data (`/etc/puppet/environments/common.yaml`), or update
the puppet files (in /etc/puppet/modules, either manually or via the `install_modules.sh` script),
run the same puppet command to update the host.
sudo puppet apply --verbose /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp
If you need to change the git url in your `project-config` or any other git urls
in your `common.yaml`, delete the respective repository, e.g.
`/etc/project-config`, and puppet will reclone it from the new location when the above `puppet apply`
command is reinvoked.
Note that it is safe, and expected, to rerun the above `puppet apply` command. Puppet will
update the configuration of the host as described in the puppet classes. This means that if
you delete or modify any files managed by puppet, rerunning the `puppet apply` command will
restore those settings back to the specified state (and remove your local changes for better or worse).
You could even run the `puppet apply` command as a cron job to enable continuous deployment
in your CI system.
