Install from Git Source Code¶

Install Senlin Server¶

Get Senlin source code from OpenStack git repository.

$ cd /opt/stack
$ git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack/senlin.git

Install Senlin with required packages.

$ cd /opt/stack/senlin
$ sudo pip install -e .

Register Senlin clustering service with keystone.

This can be done using the setup-service script under the tools folder.

NOTE: Suppose you have devstack installed under the /opt/devstack folder

$ . /opt/devstack/openrc admin admin
$ cd /opt/stack/senlin/tools
$ ./setup-service <HOST IP> <SERVICE_PASSWORD>

Generate configuration file for the Senlin service.

$ cd /opt/stack/senlin
$ tools/gen-config
$ sudo mkdir /etc/senlin
$ sudo cp etc/senlin/api-paste.ini /etc/senlin
$ sudo cp etc/senlin/senlin.conf.sample /etc/senlin/senlin.conf

Edit file /etc/senlin/senlin.conf according to your system settings. The most common options to be customized include:

[database]
connection = mysql+pymysql://senlin:<MYSQL_SENLIN_PW>@127.0.0.1/senlin?charset=utf8

[keystone_authtoken]
www_authenticate_uri = http://<HOST>:5000/v3
auth_version = 3
identity_uri = http://<HOST>:5000
admin_user = senlin
admin_password = <SENLIN PASSWORD>
admin_tenant_name = service

[authentication]
auth_url = http://<HOST>:5000/v3
service_username = senlin
service_password = <SENLIN PASSWORD>
service_project_name = service

[oslo_messaging_rabbit]
rabbit_userid = <RABBIT USER ID>
rabbit_hosts = <HOST>
rabbit_password = <RABBIT PASSWORD>

[oslo_messaging_notifications]
driver = messaging

For more comprehensive helps on configuration options, please refer to Configuration Options documentation.

In case you want to modify access policies of Senlin, please generate sample policy file, copy it to /etc/senlin/policy.yaml and then update it.

$ tools/gen-policy
$ sudo cp etc/senlin/policy.yaml.sample /etc/senlin/policy.yaml

Create Senlin Database.

Create Senlin database using the senlin-db-recreate script under the tools subdirectory. Before calling the script, you need edit it to customize the password you will use for the senlin user. You need to update this script with the <DB PASSWORD> entered in step4.

$ cd /opt/stack/senlin/tools
$ ./senlin-db-recreate

You may need two consoles for the services i.e., one for each service.
