Bifrost via Vagrant¶
One of the main user audiences that we’ve found is for users to utilize vagrant in order to build quick development environments, or for their environments to facilitate deployments, as the intent is for relatively short lived installations.
As such, a virtual machine can be started with vagrant executing the following commands:
cd tools/vagrant_dev_env
vagrant up
This will bring up an Ubuntu based virtual machine, with bifrost installed.
Note
Virtual machine images, as well as all of the software
used in bifrost can take some time to install. Typically
expect vagrant up
to take at least fifteen minutes if
you do not already have the virtual machine image on your
machine.
By default, the VM will have three interfaces:
eth0 - connected to a NAT network
eth1 - connected to Host-only network named: vboxnet1
eth2 - bridged - adapter must be set in Vagrantfile
Walkthrough done on OS X¶
Setup vagrant by:
Installing git
Installing virtualbox
Installing vagrant
Installing ansible
Configure Vagrant with the correct box:
vagrant box add ubuntu/bionic64
Clone bifrost repo:
git clone https://opendev.org/openstack/bifrost
Change into the bifrost directory:
cd bifrost/tools/vagrant_dev_env
Edit the Vagrantfile:
Change the
bifrost.vm.network
public_network
value to a valid network interface to allow Bare Metal connectivityChange
public_key
to correct key nameChange
network_interface
to match your needs
Boot the VM with:
vagrant up
Installation Options¶
Ansible is installed within the VM directly from source or from the path set by
ANSIBLE_GIT_URL
into /opt/stack
.
