Install and configure a compute node for Ubuntu

This section describes how to install and configure the Kuryr-libnetwork for Ubuntu 16.04 (LTS).

Prerequisites

This guide assumes Docker is already installed. Refer Get Docker for Docker installation.

Install and configure components

1. Create kuryr user and necessary directories:

   • Create user:

     # groupadd --system kuryr
     # useradd --home-dir "/var/lib/kuryr" \
           --create-home \
           --system \
           --shell /bin/false \
           -g kuryr \
           kuryr
     

   • Create directories:

     # mkdir -p /etc/kuryr
     # chown kuryr:kuryr /etc/kuryr
     

2. Clone and install kuryr-libnetwork:

   # apt-get install python-pip
   # cd /var/lib/kuryr
   # git clone -b stable/train https://git.openstack.org/openstack/kuryr-libnetwork.git
   # chown -R kuryr:kuryr kuryr-libnetwork
   # cd kuryr-libnetwork
   # pip install -r requirements.txt
   # python setup.py install
   

3. Generate a sample configuration file:

   # su -s /bin/sh -c "./tools/generate_config_file_samples.sh" kuryr
   # su -s /bin/sh -c "cp etc/kuryr.conf.sample \
         /etc/kuryr/kuryr.conf" kuryr
   

4. Edit the /etc/kuryr/kuryr.conf:

   • In the [DEFAULT] section, configure the path for the Kuryr vif binding executables:

     [DEFAULT]
     ...
     bindir = /usr/local/libexec/kuryr
     

   • In the [neutron] section, configure Identity service access:

     [neutron]
     ...
     www_authenticate_uri = http://controller:5000
     auth_url = http://controller:5000
     username = kuryr
     user_domain_name = default
     password = KURYR_PASSWORD
     project_name = service
     project_domain_name = default
     auth_type = password
     

     Replace KURYR_PASSWORD with the password you chose for the kuryr user in the Identity service.

5. Create an upstart config, it could be named as /etc/systemd/system/kuryr-libnetwork.service:

   [Unit]
   Description = Kuryr-libnetwork - Docker network plugin for Neutron
   
   [Service]
   ExecStart = /usr/local/bin/kuryr-server --config-file /etc/kuryr/kuryr.conf
   CapabilityBoundingSet = CAP_NET_ADMIN
   
   [Install]
   WantedBy = multi-user.target
   

Finalize installation

1. Enable and start the kuryr-libnetwork service:

   # systemctl enable kuryr-libnetwork
   # systemctl start kuryr-libnetwork
   

2. After Kuryr starts, please restart your Docker service:

   # systemctl restart docker
