Anthony Young073d17d2011-11-23 12:50:46 -08001Devstack is a set of scripts and utilities to quickly deploy an OpenStack cloud.

3# Goals
4
Anthony Young073d17d2011-11-23 12:50:46 -08005* To quickly build dev OpenStack environments in a clean oneiric environment
6* To describe working configurations of OpenStack (which code branches work together? what do config files look like for those branches?)
7* To make it easier for developers to dive into OpenStack so that they can productively contribute without having to understand every part of the system at once
Anthony Young63987872011-09-30 11:34:43 -07008* To make it easy to prototype cross-project features
Dean Troyerce043c42012-02-03 22:56:38 -06009* To sanity-check OpenStack builds (used in gating commits to the primary repos)

Anthony Young073d17d2011-11-23 12:50:46 -080013IMPORTANT: Be sure to carefully read stack.sh and any other scripts you execute before you run them, as they install software and may alter your networking configuration. We strongly recommend that you run stack.sh in a clean and disposable vm when you are first getting started.

Anthony Young073d17d2011-11-23 12:50:46 -080015# Versions
16
Dean Troyerce043c42012-02-03 22:56:38 -060017The devstack master branch generally points to trunk versions of OpenStack components. For older, stable versions, look for branches named stable/[release]. For example, you can do the following to create a diablo OpenStack cloud:
Anthony Young073d17d2011-11-23 12:50:46 -080018
19 git checkout stable/diablo
20 ./stack.sh
21
Dean Troyerce043c42012-02-03 22:56:38 -060022Milestone builds are also available in this manner:
23
24 git checkout essex-3
25 ./stack.sh
26
27# Start A Dev Cloud
28
29Installing in a dedicated disposable vm is safer than installing on your dev machine! To start a dev cloud:
Anthony Young0e65abf2011-09-30 09:24:00 -070030
31 ./stack.sh
32
Anthony Young073d17d2011-11-23 12:50:46 -080033When the script finishes executing, you should be able to access OpenStack endpoints, like so:

Tres Henryca85b792011-10-28 14:00:21 -070035* Horizon: http://myhost/
Anthony Young63987872011-09-30 11:34:43 -070036* Keystone: http://myhost:5000/v2.0/
37
Anthony Young073d17d2011-11-23 12:50:46 -080038We also provide an environment file that you can use to interact with your cloud via CLI:
39
40 # source openrc file to load your environment with osapi and ec2 creds
41 . openrc
42 # list instances
43 nova list
44 # list instances using ec2 api
45 euca-describe-instances
46
Anthony Young63987872011-09-30 11:34:43 -070047# Customizing
48
Anthony Young073d17d2011-11-23 12:50:46 -080049You can override environment variables used in stack.sh by creating file name 'localrc'. It is likely that you will need to do this to tweak your networking configuration should you need to access your cloud from a different host.
