Quick Start Guide

Generate the containers-prepare-parameters.yaml file that contains the default ContainerImagePrepare parameters:

$ openstack tripleo container image prepare default --output-env-file $HOME/containers-prepare-parameters.yaml

Create the $HOME/standalone_parameters.yaml file and configure basic parameters for your standalone OpenStack installation, including network configuration and some deployment options. In this example, network interface eth0 is a default interface, and network interface eth1 is the interface that you use to deploy OpenStack:

export IP=192.168.25.2
export NETMASK=24
export INTERFACE=eth1

cat <<EOF > $HOME/standalone_parameters.yaml
parameter_defaults:
  CloudName: $IP
  ControlPlaneStaticRoutes: []
  Debug: true
  DeploymentUser: $USER
  DnsServers:
    - 1.1.1.1
    - 8.8.8.8
  DockerInsecureRegistryAddress:
    - $IP:8787
  NeutronPublicInterface: $INTERFACE
  NeutronDnsDomain: localdomain
  NeutronBridgeMappings: datacentre:br-ctlplane
  NeutronPhysicalBridge: br-ctlplane
  StandaloneEnableRoutedNetworks: false
  StandaloneHomeDir: $HOME
  StandaloneLocalMtu: 1500
EOF

You must configure the DnsServers parameter with your DNS address. For example, use the address from the /etc/resolv.conf file:

$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
192.168.122.1

If you have an internal time source, or if your environment blocks access to external time sources, use the NtpServer parameter to define the time source that you want to use:

NtpServer: clock.example.com

If you want to use the all-in-one OpenStack installation in a virtual environment, you must define the virtualization type with the StandaloneExtraConfig parameter:

StandaloneExtraConfig:
  NovaComputeLibvirtType: qemu

To disable a service, edit the /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/roles/Standalone.yaml file and add the value OS::Heat::None to the service that you want to disable:

    - OS::TripleO::Services::Aide: OS::Heat::None

To enable a service, edit the /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/roles/Standalone.yaml file and remove the value OS::Heat::None from the service that you want to enable:

    - OS::TripleO::Services::Aide

Create configuration helper variables:

# standalone with tenant networking and provider networking
export OS_CLOUD=standalone
export GATEWAY=192.168.24.1
export STANDALONE_HOST=192.168.24.2
export PUBLIC_NETWORK_CIDR=192.168.24.0/24
export PRIVATE_NETWORK_CIDR=192.168.100.0/24
export PUBLIC_NET_START=192.168.24.4
export PUBLIC_NET_END=192.168.24.5
export DNS_SERVER=1.1.1.1

Create a basic flavor:

$ openstack flavor create --ram 512 --disk 1 --vcpu 1 --public tiny

Download CirrOS and create an OpenStack image:

$ wget https://download.cirros-cloud.net/0.4.0/cirros-0.4.0-x86_64-disk.img
$ openstack image create cirros --container-format bare --disk-format qcow2 --public --file cirros-0.4.0-x86_64-disk.img

Configure SSH:

$ ssh-keygen
$ openstack keypair create --public-key ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub default

Create a simple network security group:

$ openstack security group create basic

Configure the new network security group:

Create Neutron networks:

$ openstack network create --external --provider-physical-network datacentre --provider-network-type flat public
$ openstack network create --internal private
$ openstack subnet create public-net \
    --subnet-range $PUBLIC_NETWORK_CIDR \
    --no-dhcp \
    --gateway $GATEWAY \
    --allocation-pool start=$PUBLIC_NET_START,end=$PUBLIC_NET_END \
    --network public
$ openstack subnet create private-net \
    --subnet-range $PRIVATE_NETWORK_CIDR \
    --network private

Create a virtual router:

# NOTE: In this case an IP will be automatically assigned
# from the allocation pool for the subnet.
$ openstack router create vrouter
$ openstack router set vrouter --external-gateway public
$ openstack router add subnet vrouter private-net

Create a floating IP:

$ openstack floating ip create public

Launch the instance:

$ openstack server create --flavor tiny --image cirros --key-name default --network private --security-group basic myserver

Assign the floating IP:

$ openstack server add floating ip myserver <FLOATING_IP>

Replace FLOATING_IP with the address of the floating IP that you create in a previous step.

Test SSH:

ssh cirros@<FLOATING_IP>

Replace FLOATING_IP with the address of the floating IP that you create in a previous step.

Create configuration helper variables:

# standalone with tenant networking and provider networking
export OS_CLOUD=standalone
export GATEWAY=192.168.24.1
export STANDALONE_HOST=192.168.24.2
export VROUTER_IP=192.168.24.3
