Get RBD Ceph running

After cloning the DevStack repository and read the developer’s guide. I realized that nothing should be installed manually, or unless for beginners developers as myself. I know what you think “the guide tell me to clone my project repository manually” (here), but this isn’t the good way to do it. Use stack.sh.

How stack.sh works?

  • Installs Ceph (client and server) packages installed
  • Creates a Ceph cluster for use with openstack services
  • Configures Ceph as the storage backend for Cinder, Cinder Backup, Nova, Manila (not by default), and Glance services
  • (Optionally) Sets up & configures Rados gateway (aka rgw or radosgw) as a Swift endpoint with Keystone integration
  • Supports Ceph cluster running local or remote to openstack services

Devstack plugin to configure Ceph as the storage backend for openstack services

First, just enable the plugin in your local.conf:

enable_plugin devstack-plugin-ceph git://git.openstack.org/openstack/devstack-plugin-ceph

Example of my local.conf:


[[local|localrc]]
#######
# MISC #
########
ADMIN_PASSWORD=pass
DATABASE_PASSWORD=$ADMIN_PASSWORD
RABBIT_PASSWORD=$ADMIN_PASSWORD
SERVICE_PASSWORD=$ADMIN_PASSWORD
#SERVICE_TOKEN = <this is generated after running stack.sh>

# Reclone each time
#RECLONE=yes

# Enable Logging
LOGFILE=/opt/stack/logs/stack.sh.log
VERBOSE=True
LOG_COLOR=True
SCREEN_LOGDIR=/opt/stack/logs

And finally, run in your terminal:

~/devstack$ ./stack.sh

…and Boom! wait for the magic to happen!
