Installation with Keystone¶
Note
Use of keystone with bifrost is a very new feature and should be considered an advanced topic. Please feel free to reach out to the bifrost contributors and the ironic community as a whole in the project’s IRC channel.
Bifrost can now install and make use of keystone. In order to enable
this as part of the installation, the enable_keystone variable
must be set to true, either in playbooks/inventory/group_vars/target
or on the command line during installation. Note that enable_keystone and
noauth_mode are mutually exclusive so they should have an opposite value of
oneanother. Example:
ansible-playbook -vvvv -i inventory/target install.yaml -e enable_keystone=true -e noauth_mode=false
However, prior to installation, overriding credentials should be set in order to customize the deployment to meet your needs.
playbooks/roles/bifrost-ironic-install/defaults/main.ymlplaybooks/roles/bifrost-keystone-install/defaults/main.yml
Using an existing Keystone¶
If you choose to install bifrost using an existing keystone, this
should be possible, however it has not been tested. In this case you
will need to set the appropriate defaults, via
playbooks/roles/bifrost-ironic-install/defaults/main.yml
which would be a good source for the role level defaults.
Ideally, when setting new defaults, they should be set in the
playbooks/inventory/group_vars/target file.
Creation of clouds.yaml¶
By default, during bifrost installation, when keystone is enabled,
a file will be written to the user’s home directory that is executing
the installation. That file can be located at
~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml. The cloud that is written
to that file is named bifrost.
Creation of openrc¶
Also by default, after bifrost installation and again, when keystone is enabled, a file will be written to the user’s home directory that you can use to set the appropriate environment variables in your current shell to be able to use OpenStack utilities:
. ~/openrc bifrost && openstack baremetal driver list
