This repository performs a complete deployment of Clowder in Docker Swarm on Openstack using Ansible. Once deployed, the following services are going to be created:

• a mongodb cluster spanning across the slave nodes
• an elasticearch cluster spanning across the slave nodes
• clowder instances spanning across the slave nodes
• traefik instances spanning across master nodes
• a glusterfs shared amongst slave nodes for uploads, thumbnails and previews

Makefile is used to control all the steps. This is the simplified version of github.com/UQ-RCC/ansible-swarm-clowder.

Thanks to Zane Van Iperen for his work on Makefile and templates.

Deployment steps

Requirements

• You need to have openstack 5.2.0 installed (apt install python3-openstackclient)
• Download the Openstack RC file
• Ansible version 2.9
• Make installed, in ubuntu: sudo apt-get install build-essential
• Python 3
• Create vars/secrets.yml based on vars/secrets.yml.example

Create HEAT stack for Docker Swarm

• edit setupenv-openstack. Make sure you get the IMAGE_ID and OS_PROJECT_NAME right.The IMAGE_ID should be a Ubuntu image.

• make stack

• Create a FQDN that points to the first master node, this FQDN should match clowder_host field in vars/secrets.yml

Deploy Docker swarm

• edit Clowder's custom.conf and custom.play.plugin at roles/clowder-swarm-setup/templates.
• make init-swarm
• To inspect swarm cluster: make inspect-swarm

Deploy Clowder in swarm

• make deploy-clowder

Destroy Clowder in swarm

• make destroy-clowder

Destroy swarm cluster

• make destroy-swarm

Delete stack

• make destroy-stack
