ci-builder

The ci-builder Kayobe environment is used to build Kolla container images. Images are built using package repositories in the StackHPC development Pulp service, and pushed there once built.

Prerequisites

• a CentOS Stream 8 or Ubuntu Focal 20.04 host

• access to the Test Pulp server on SMS lab

Setup

Access the host via SSH.

Install package dependencies.

On CentOS:

sudo dnf install -y python3-virtualenv

On Ubuntu:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y python3-virtualenv

Clone the Kayobe and Kayobe configuration repositories (this one):

cd
mkdir -p src
pushd src
git clone https://github.com/stackhpc/kayobe.git -b stackhpc/xena
git clone https://github.com/stackhpc/stackhpc-kayobe-config -b stackhpc/xena kayobe-config
popd

Create a virtual environment and install Kayobe:

cd
mkdir -p venvs
pushd venvs
virtualenv kayobe
source kayobe/bin/activate
pip install -U pip
pip install ../src/kayobe
popd

Add initial network configuration:

sudo ip l add breth1 type bridge
sudo ip l set breth1 up
sudo ip a add 192.168.33.3/24 dev breth1
sudo ip l add dummy1 type dummy
sudo ip l set dummy1 up
sudo ip l set dummy1 master breth1

Installation

Acquire the Ansible Vault password for this repository, and store a copy at ~/vault-pw.

The following commands install Kayobe and its dependencies, and prepare the Ansible control host.

export KAYOBE_VAULT_PASSWORD=$(cat ~/vault-pw)
pushd ~/venvs/kayobe
source bin/activate
popd
pushd ~/src/kayobe-config
source kayobe-env --environment ci-builder
kayobe control host bootstrap

Deployment

Next, configure the host OS & services.

kayobe seed host configure

Building images

At this point you are ready to build and push some container images.

kayobe seed container image build --push
kayobe overcloud container image build --push

The container images are tagged as xena-<datetime>.

To use the new images, edit ~/src/kayobe-config/etc/kayobe/kolla.yml to set the above tag as the value of the kolla_openstack_release variable.
