Virtualenv Installation Support¶

Bifrost can be used with a Python virtual environment. At present, this feature is experimental, so it’s disabled by default. If you would like to use a virtual environment, you’ll need to modify the install steps slightly. To set up the virtual environment and install ansible into it, run env-setup.sh as follows:

export VENV=/opt/stack/bifrost
./scripts/env-setup.sh

Then run the install playbook with the following arguments:

ansible-playbook -vvvv -i inventory/target install.yaml

This will install ironic and its dependencies into the virtual environment.
