Foreman Installer - Staypuft plugin

This is a plugin for foreman-installer to help with Staypuft installation. Staypuft is a Foreman plugin which allows user to install OpenStack.

How do I use it?

First you must install RPM package named foreman-installer-staypuft. It can be downloaded from foreman plugin repositores, currently only from nightlies. You should add the whole repository because of other dependencies. You easily do this by installing repo rpm by running

yum install http://yum.theforeman.org/releases/latest/el6/x86_64/foreman-release.rpm
yum install foreman-installer-staypuft

Now you can run staypuft-installer. It will automatically run the wizard that asks few questions specific to your environment. The result is Foreman with provisioning correctly configured and Staypuft plugin enabled. Without any further effort you should be able to create your OpenStack deployment.

To provision on baremetals we use foreman_discovery plugin which requires you to download images used to discover all machines. If you want installer to download images for you (recommended), you can run it like this

staypuft-installer --foreman-plugin-discovery-install-images=true

Note that downloading will take some time, images are ~200MB. You can download images manually from here, but you have to copy and name them correctly yourself.

Where can I download RPMs?

We publish this in official Foreman repositories. Visit yum.theforeman.org for more details. All staypuft packages are in plugin repo. For installing client you need foreman-installer-staypuft for client (optional, only if you can't use provisioning) you want foreman-installer-staypuft-client.

How do I build RPM myself?

We use tito for building the package in our koji instance. Once you tag your changes you can trigger the build by running tito release koji.

You can also build the RPM locally by running tito build --test --rpm. You'll find the built RPMs in /tmp/tito.

Contributing

If you found an issue, you can report it in Bugzilla. If you want to chat about the issue or staypuft in general, we are on freenode irc server on channel #staypuft. We also have mailing list to which you can subscribe here. For staypuft related questions please add [Installer] tag in subject.

If you want to send a patch, fork the projects and send a Pull Request. Thanks!

What platforms are supported

Currently it's supposed to run only on CentOS and RHEL (using subscription-manager). For staypuft host you should use version 6. Other hosts that are provisioned by staypuft CentOS or RHEL 7 will be used (based on what is your staypuft machine). There is a workaround required for CentOS. You have to modify installation media in foreman to http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$major/os/$arch otherwise provisioning will not work. It's tracked in http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/6884
