Crash course in lxd setup
nova-lxd absolutely requires lxd, though its installation and configuration is out of scope here. If you're running Ubuntu, here is the easy path to a running lxd.
add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-lxc/lxd-git-master && sudo apt-get update apt-get -y install lxd usermod -G lxd ${your_username|stack} service lxd start
If you're currently logged in as the user you just added to lxd, you'll need to log out and log back in again.
Using nova-lxd with devstack
nova-lxd includes a plugin for use in devstack. If you'd like to run devstack with nova-lxd, you'll want to add the following to `local.conf`:
enable_plugin nova-lxd https://git.openstack.org/openstack/nova-lxd
In this case, nova-lxd will run HEAD from master. You may want to point this at your own fork. A final argument to enable_plugin can be used to specify a git revision.
Configuration and installation of devstack is beyond the scope of this document. Here's an example local.conf file that will run the very minimum you`ll need for devstack.
local ADMIN_PASSWORD=password DATABASE_PASSWORD=$ADMIN_PASSWORD RABBIT_PASSWORD=$ADMIN_PASSWORD SERVICE_PASSWORD=$ADMIN_PASSWORD SERVICE_TOKEN=$ADMIN_PASSWORD
disable_service cinder c-sch c-api c-vol disable_service n-net n-novnc disable_service horizon disable_service ironic ir-api ir-cond
enable_service q-svc q-agt q-dhcp q-13 q-meta
# Optional, to enable tempest configuration as part of devstack enable_service tempest
enable_plugin nova-lxd https://git.openstack.org/openstack/nova-lxd
# More often than not, stack.sh explodes trying to configure IPv6 support, # so let's just disable it for now. IP_VERSION=4
Once devstack is running, you'll want to add the lxd image to glance. You can do this (as an admin) with:
wget http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/trusty/current/trusty-server-cloudimg-amd64-root.tar.xz glance image-create --name lxd --container-format bare --disk-format raw --visibility=public < trusty-server-cloudimg-amd64-root.tar.xz
To run the tempest tests, you can use:
/opt/stack/tempest/run_tempest.sh -N tempest.api.compute
Errata
Patches should be submitted to Openstack Gerrit via git-review.
Bugs should be filed on Launchpad:
