Getting Started

Prerequisites

1. Install kubectl (see here).

2. Install minikube, version 0.30.0 or greater.

3. Install a driver for minikube. For Linux, we recommend kvm2. For MacOS, we recommend VirtualBox.

4. An appropriately configured Go development environment

5. Build the clusterctl tool

   git clone https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api-provider-openstack $GOPATH/src/sigs.k8s.io/cluster-api-provider-openstack
   cd $GOPATH/src/sigs.k8s.io/cluster-api-provider-openstack/cmd/clusterctl
   go build

Cluster Creation

1. Create the cluster.yaml, machines.yaml, provider-components.yaml, and addons.yaml files if needed:

   cd examples/openstack
   ./generate-yaml.sh --provider-os [os name] [options]
   cd ../..

   [os name] is the operating system of your provider environment. Supported Operating Systems:

   • ubuntu
   • centos

   Interactively submit provider information

   By default, the generater script will give you a series of command line prompts, asking the following information about your cloud provider:

   • user-name
   • domain-name
   • project-id
   • region-name
   • auth-url
   • password

   Use clouds.yaml to submit provider information

   If you want to generate scripts without being prompted interactively, you can pass generate-yaml a clouds.yaml file. After downloading your clouds.yaml from your provider, make sure that it has the information listed above filled out. It is very likely that it will at lest be missing the password field. Also, note that domain-name is the same as project-name. You may reference the following sample clouds.yaml to see what yours should look like.

   clouds:
     openstack:
       auth:
         auth_url: https://yourauthurl:5000/v3
         username: foo
         password: bar
         project_id: foobar123
         project_name: foobar
         user_domain_name: "Default"
       region_name: "Region_1"
       interface: "public"
       identity_api_version: 3

   To specify which cloud to use, set the OS_CLOUD environment variable with its name. By default, the generator will use the cloud "openstack". Based on the example above, the following command sets the correct cloud:

   export OS_CLOUD=openstack

   To pass a clouds.yaml file to generate-yaml, set the -c or --clouds options, followed by the path to a clouds.yaml file. Here are some examples of this syntax:

   ./generate-yaml.sh --provider-os [os name] -c clouds.yaml
   ./generate-yaml.sh --provider-os [os name] --clouds clouds.yaml

   You will need to make changes to the generated files to create a working cluster. You can find some guidance on what needs to be edited, and how to create some of the required OpenStack resources in the Configuration documentation.

   Special notes on ssh keys and fetching admin.conf

   When running generate-yaml.sh the first time, a new ssh keypair is generated and stored as $HOME/.ssh/openstack_tmp and $HOME/.ssh/openstack_tmp.pub. In order to allow clusterctl to fetch Kubernetes' admin.conf from the master node, you must manually create the key pair in OpenStack. By default the generated machine.yaml uses cluster-api-provider-openstack to be the keyName. However, you are free to change that.

   e.g.

   openstack keypair create --public-key ~/.ssh/openstack_tmp.pub cluster-api-provider-openstack
   

2. Create a cluster:

   ./clusterctl create cluster --minikube kubernetes-version=v1.12.3 --provider openstack -c examples/openstack/[os name]/out/cluster.yaml -m examples/openstack/[os name]/out/machines.yaml -p examples/openstack/[os name]/out/provider-components.yaml

To choose a specific minikube driver, please use the --vm-driver command line parameter. For example to use the kvm2 driver with clusterctl you woud add --vm-driver kvm2, for linux, if you haven't installed any driver, you can add --vm-driver none.

Additional advanced flags can be found via help.

./clusterctl create cluster --help

Interacting with your cluster

Once you have created a cluster, you can interact with the cluster and machine resources using kubectl:

kubectl --kubeconfig=kubeconfig get clusters
kubectl --kubeconfig=kubeconfig get machines
kubectl --kubeconfig=kubeconfig get machines -o yaml

Cluster Deletion

This guide explains how to delete all resources that were created as part of your openstack Cluster API Kubernetes cluster.

1. Delete all of the node Machines in the cluster. Make sure to wait for the corresponding Nodes to be deleted before moving onto the next step. After this step, the master node will be the only remaining node.

   kubectl --kubeconfig=kubeconfig delete machines -l set=node
   kubectl --kubeconfig=kubeconfig get nodes

2. Delete the master machine.

   kubectl --kubeconfig=kubeconfig delete machines -l set=master

3. Delete the ssh keypair that were created for your cluster machine.

   rm -rf $HOME/.ssh/openstack_tmp*
