vagrant-devstack-astara

Getting started

A Vagrant based astara.

Steps to try vagrant image:

1. Install Vagrant on your local machine. Install one of the current providers supported: VirtualBox, Libvirt or Vagrant
2. Git clone the astara repository.
3. Run cd vagrant
4. Run vagrant up It will take from 10 to 60 minutes, depending on your internet speed. Vagrant-cachier can speed up the process [1].
5. vagrant ssh You will get a VM with everything running. You will get vm shell with keystone and neutron already running.

At this point you should have astara running inside of the Vagrant VM.

Vagrant Options available

You can set the following environment variables before running vagrant up to modify the definition of the Virtual Machine spawned:

• VAGRANT_ASTARA_VM_BOX: To change the Vagrant Box used. Should be available in atlas.

  export VAGRANT_ASTARA_VM_BOX=centos/7
  

  Could be an example of a rpm-based option.

• VAGRANT_ASTARA_VM_MEMORY: To modify the RAM of the VM. Defaulted to: 4096

• VAGRANT_ASTARA_VM_CPU: To modify the cpus of the VM. Defaulted to: 2

• VAGRANT_ASTARA_RUN_DEVSTACK: Whether vagrant up should run devstack to have an environment ready to use. Set it to 'false' if you want to edit local.conf before run ./stack.sh manually in the VM. Defaulted to: true. See below for additional options for editing local.conf.

Additional devstack configuration

To add additional configuration to local.conf before the VM is provisioned, you can create a file called "user_local.conf" in the vagrant directory of astara. This file will be appended to the "local.conf" created during the Vagrant provisioning.

For example, to use OVN as the Neutron plugin with Astara, you can create a "user_local.conf" with the following configuration:

enable_plugin networking-ovn http://git.openstack.org/openstack/networking-ovn
enable_service ovn-northd
enable_service ovn-controller
disable_service q-agt
disable_service q-l3
