Everything required for building the Karaf OpenDaylight RPM.

Note that the currently supported version is Helium SR2.

Building the RPM

The build.sh script is a helper for building the RPM.

[fedora@dfarrell-rpm ~]$ ./build.sh 
<snip output of RPM building process>
RPM built!
Should be at: /home/fedora/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/opendaylight-0.2.1-5.fc20.noarch.rpm

Working with the ODL RPM

The familiar RPM-related commands apply to the OpenDaylight RPM.

Installing OpenDaylight via the RPM

# Note that there's nothing in /opt before the install
[fedora@dfarrell-rpm ~]$ ls /opt/
# Note that there are no opendaylight systemd files before install
[fedora@dfarrell-rpm ~]$ ls /usr/lib/systemd/system | grep -i opendaylight
# Install the ODL RPM
[fedora@dfarrell-rpm ~]$ sudo rpm -i /home/fedora/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/opendaylight-0.2.1-5.fc20.noarch.rpm
# Note that ODL is now installed in /opt
[fedora@dfarrell-rpm ~]$ ls /opt/
opendaylight-0.2.1
# Note that there's now a systemd .service file for ODL
[fedora@dfarrell-rpm ~]$ ls /usr/lib/systemd/system | grep -i opendaylight
opendaylight.service

The install.sh script is a helper for doing the install. Note that the script's path to the RPM may need to be configured.

Uninstalling OpenDaylight via the RPM

# Note that ODL is installed in /opt/
[fedora@dfarrell-rpm ~]$ ls /opt/
opendaylight-0.2.1
# Note that there's a systemd .service file for ODL
[fedora@dfarrell-rpm ~]$ ls /usr/lib/systemd/system | grep -i opendaylight
opendaylight.service
# Uninstall the ODL RPM
[fedora@dfarrell-rpm ~]$ sudo rpm -e opendaylight-0.2.1
# Note that ODL has been removed from /opt/
[fedora@dfarrell-rpm ~]$ ls /opt/
# Note that the ODL systemd .service file has been removed
[fedora@dfarrell-rpm ~]$ ls /usr/lib/systemd/system | grep -i opendaylight

Managing OpenDaylight via systemd

The OpenDaylight RPM ships with systemd support.

Connecting to the Karaf shell

A few seconds after OpenDaylight is started, its Karaf shell will be accessible.

The connect.sh script is provided as an example of how to connect to the Karaf shell.

Additionally, here's an example of connecting manually (password: karaf):

[fedora@dfarrell-rpm ~]$ ssh -p 8101 -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no karaf@localhost
