Install via Devstack¶

The Devstack supports installation from different code branch by specifying <branch-name> below. If there is no preference, it is recommended to install Tacker from master branch, i.e. the <branch-name> is master. If pike branch is the target branch, the <branch-name> is stable/pike. Devstack should be run as a non-root with sudo enabled(standard logins to cloud images such as “ubuntu” or “cloud-user” are usually fine). Creating a separate user and granting relevant privileges please refer [1].

Download DevStack:

$ git clone https://opendev.org/openstack-dev/devstack -b <branch-name>
$ cd devstack

Enable tacker related Devstack plugins in local.conf file:

First, the local.conf file needs to be created by manual or copied from Tacker Repo [2] and renamed to local.conf. We have two Tacker configuration installation files. First, it is the all-in-one mode that installs full Devstack environment including Tacker in one PC or Laptop. Second, it is the standalone mode which only will install a standalone Tacker environment with some mandatory OpenStack services.

2.1. All-in-one mode

The local.conf file of all-in-one mode from [3] is shown as below:

$ ./stack.sh
