Install and configure a compute node

This section describes how to install and configure the Compute service on a compute node.

Note

This section assumes that you are following the instructions in this guide step-by-step to configure the first compute node. If you want to configure additional compute nodes, prepare them in a similar fashion. Each additional compute node requires a unique IP address.

Prerequisites

Before you install and configure Zun, you must have Docker and Kuryr-libnetwork installed properly in the compute node, and have Etcd installed properly in the controller node. Refer Get Docker for Docker installation and Kuryr libnetwork installation guide, Etcd installation guide

Install and configure components

  1. Create zun user and necessary directories:

    • Create user:

      # groupadd --system zun
# useradd --home-dir "/var/lib/zun" \
      --create-home \
      --system \
      --shell /bin/false \
      -g zun \
      zun

    • Create directories:

      # mkdir -p /etc/zun
# chown zun:zun /etc/zun

    • Create CNI directories:

      # mkdir -p /etc/cni/net.d
# chown zun:zun /etc/cni/net.d

  2. Install the following dependencies:

    For Ubuntu, run:

    # apt-get install python3-pip git numactl

    For CentOS, run:

    # yum install python3-pip git python3-devel libffi-devel gcc openssl-devel numactl

  3. Clone and install zun:

    # cd /var/lib/zun
# git clone https://opendev.org/openstack/zun.git
# chown -R zun:zun zun
# cd zun
# pip3 install -r requirements.txt
# python3 setup.py install

  4. Generate a sample configuration file:

    # su -s /bin/sh -c "oslo-config-generator \
    --config-file etc/zun/zun-config-generator.conf" zun
# su -s /bin/sh -c "cp etc/zun/zun.conf.sample \
    /etc/zun/zun.conf" zun
# su -s /bin/sh -c "cp etc/zun/rootwrap.conf \
    /etc/zun/rootwrap.conf" zun
# su -s /bin/sh -c "mkdir -p /etc/zun/rootwrap.d" zun
# su -s /bin/sh -c "cp etc/zun/rootwrap.d/* \
    /etc/zun/rootwrap.d/" zun
# su -s /bin/sh -c "cp etc/cni/net.d/* /etc/cni/net.d/" zun

  5. Configure sudoers for zun users:

    Note

    CentOS install binary files into /usr/bin/, replace /usr/local/bin/ directory with the correct in the following command.

    # echo "zun ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/zun-rootwrap \
    /etc/zun/rootwrap.conf *" | sudo tee /etc/sudoers.d/zun-rootwrap

  6. Edit the /etc/zun/zun.conf:

    • In the [DEFAULT] section, configure RabbitMQ message queue access:

      [DEFAULT]
...
transport_url = rabbit://openstack:RABBIT_PASS@controller

      Replace RABBIT_PASS with the password you chose for the openstack account in RabbitMQ.

    • In the [DEFAULT] section, configure the path that is used by Zun to store the states:

      [DEFAULT]
...
state_path = /var/lib/zun

    • In the [database] section, configure database access:

      [database]
...
connection = mysql+pymysql://zun:ZUN_DBPASS@controller/zun

      Replace ZUN_DBPASS with the password you chose for the zun database.

    • In the [keystone_auth] section, configure Identity service access:

      [keystone_auth]
memcached_servers = controller:11211
www_authenticate_uri = http://controller:5000
project_domain_name = default
project_name = service
user_domain_name = default
password = ZUN_PASS
username = zun
auth_url = http://controller:5000
auth_type = password
auth_version = v3
auth_protocol = http
service_token_roles_required = True
endpoint_type = internalURL

    • In the [keystone_authtoken] section, configure Identity service access:

      [keystone_authtoken]
...
memcached_servers = controller:11211
www_authenticate_uri= http://controller:5000
project_domain_name = default
project_name = service
user_domain_name = default
password = ZUN_PASS
username = zun
auth_url = http://controller:5000
auth_type = password

      Replace ZUN_PASS with the password you chose for the zun user in the Identity service.

    • In the [oslo_concurrency] section, configure the lock_path:

      [oslo_concurrency]
...
lock_path = /var/lib/zun/tmp

    • (Optional) If you want to run both containers and nova instances in this compute node, in the [compute] section, configure the host_shared_with_nova:

      [compute]
...
host_shared_with_nova = true

    Note

    Make sure that /etc/zun/zun.conf still have the correct permissions. You can set the permissions again with:

    # chown zun:zun /etc/zun/zun.conf

  7. Configure Docker and Kuryr:

    • Create the directory /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d

      # mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d

    • Create the file /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/docker.conf. Configure docker to listen to port 2375 as well as the default unix socket. Also, configure docker to use etcd3 as storage backend:

      [Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd --group zun -H tcp://compute1:2375 -H unix:///var/run/docker.sock --cluster-store etcd://controller:2379

    • Restart Docker:

      # systemctl daemon-reload
# systemctl restart docker

    • Edit the Kuryr config file /etc/kuryr/kuryr.conf. Set capability_scope to global and process_external_connectivity to False:

      [DEFAULT]
...
capability_scope = global
process_external_connectivity = False

    • Restart Kuryr-libnetwork:

      # systemctl restart kuryr-libnetwork

  8. Configure containerd:

    • Generate config file for containerd:

      # containerd config default > /etc/containerd/config.toml

    • Edit the /etc/containerd/config.toml. In the [grpc] section, configure the gid as the group ID of the zun user:

      [grpc]
  ...
  gid = ZUN_GROUP_ID

      Replace ZUN_GROUP_ID with the real group ID of zun user. You can retrieve the ID by (for example):

      # getent group zun | cut -d: -f3

      Note

      Make sure that /etc/containerd/config.toml still have the correct permissions. You can set the permissions again with:

      # chown zun:zun /etc/containerd/config.toml

    • Restart containerd:

      # systemctl restart containerd

  9. Configure CNI:

    • Download and install the standard loopback plugin:

      # mkdir -p /opt/cni/bin
# curl -L https://github.com/containernetworking/plugins/releases/download/v0.7.1/cni-plugins-amd64-v0.7.1.tgz \
      | tar -C /opt/cni/bin -xzvf - ./loopback

    • Install the Zun CNI plugin:

      # install -o zun -m 0555 -D /usr/local/bin/zun-cni /opt/cni/bin/zun-cni

      CentOS install binary files into /usr/bin/, replace /usr/local/bin/zun-cni with the correct path in the command above.

Finalize installation

  1. Create an upstart config for zun compute, it could be named as /etc/systemd/system/zun-compute.service:

    Note

    CentOS install binary files into /usr/bin/, replace /usr/local/bin/ directory with the correct in the following example file.

    [Unit]
Description = OpenStack Container Service Compute Agent

[Service]
ExecStart = /usr/local/bin/zun-compute
User = zun

[Install]
WantedBy = multi-user.target

  2. Create an upstart config for zun cni daemon, it could be named as /etc/systemd/system/zun-cni-daemon.service:

    Note

    CentOS install binary files into /usr/bin/, replace /usr/local/bin/ directory with the correct in the following example file.

    [Unit]
Description = OpenStack Container Service CNI daemon

[Service]
ExecStart = /usr/local/bin/zun-cni-daemon
User = zun

[Install]
WantedBy = multi-user.target

  3. Enable and start zun-compute:

    # systemctl enable zun-compute
# systemctl start zun-compute

  4. Enable and start zun-cni-daemon:

    # systemctl enable zun-cni-daemon
# systemctl start zun-cni-daemon

  5. Verify that zun-compute and zun-cni-daemon services are running:

    # systemctl status zun-compute
# systemctl status zun-cni-daemon
