Install and configure the controller node for Debian¶

Prerequisites¶

The proxy service relies on an authentication and authorization mechanism such as the Identity service. However, unlike other services, it also offers an internal mechanism that allows it to operate without any other OpenStack services. Before you configure the Object Storage service, you must create service credentials and an API endpoint.

1. Source the admin credentials to gain access to admin-only CLI commands:

   $ . admin-openrc
   

2. To create the Identity service credentials, complete these steps:

   • Create the swift user:

     $ openstack user create --domain default --password-prompt swift
     User Password:
     Repeat User Password:
     +-----------+----------------------------------+
     | Field     | Value                            |
     +-----------+----------------------------------+
     | domain_id | e0353a670a9e496da891347c589539e9 |
     | enabled   | True                             |
     | id        | d535e5cbd2b74ac7bfb97db9cced3ed6 |
     | name      | swift                            |
     +-----------+----------------------------------+
     

   • Add the admin role to the swift user:

     $ openstack role add --project service --user swift admin
     

     Note

     This command provides no output.

   • Create the swift service entity:

     $ openstack service create --name swift \
       --description "OpenStack Object Storage" object-store
     +-------------+----------------------------------+
     | Field       | Value                            |
     +-------------+----------------------------------+
     | description | OpenStack Object Storage         |
     | enabled     | True                             |
     | id          | 75ef509da2c340499d454ae96a2c5c34 |
     | name        | swift                            |
     | type        | object-store                     |
     +-------------+----------------------------------+
     

3. Create the Object Storage service API endpoints:

   $ openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne \
     object-store public http://controller:8080/v1/AUTH_%\(tenant_id\)s
   +--------------+----------------------------------------------+
   | Field        | Value                                        |
   +--------------+----------------------------------------------+
   | enabled      | True                                         |
   | id           | 12bfd36f26694c97813f665707114e0d             |
   | interface    | public                                       |
   | region       | RegionOne                                    |
   | region_id    | RegionOne                                    |
   | service_id   | 75ef509da2c340499d454ae96a2c5c34             |
   | service_name | swift                                        |
   | service_type | object-store                                 |
   | url          | http://controller:8080/v1/AUTH_%(tenant_id)s |
   +--------------+----------------------------------------------+
   
   $ openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne \
     object-store internal http://controller:8080/v1/AUTH_%\(tenant_id\)s
   +--------------+----------------------------------------------+
   | Field        | Value                                        |

Install and configure components¶

1. Install the packages:

   # apt-get install swift swift-proxy python-swiftclient \
     python-keystoneclient python-keystonemiddleware \
     memcached
   

   Note

   Complete OpenStack environments already include some of these packages.

   2. Create the /etc/swift directory.

   3. Obtain the proxy service configuration file from the Object Storage source repository:

      # curl -o /etc/swift/proxy-server.conf https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/swift/plain/etc/proxy-server.conf-sample?h=stable/newton
