Puppet
Introduction
The Puppet openstack modules were written as a collaborative effort between operators deploying openstack environments.
Modules
All of the modules for the openstack project are hosted under StackForge.
The following modules exist:
- stackforge/puppet-cinder
- stackforge/puppet-glance
- stackforge/puppet-horizon
- stackforge/puppet-keystone
- stackforge/puppet-nova
- stackforge/puppet-openstack
- stackforge/puppet-openstack_dev_env
- stackforge/puppet-swift
- stackforge/puppet-ceiliometer
The most up to date version of the modules is available on https://review.openstack.org/#/ e.g. https://review.openstack.org/gitweb?p=stackforge/puppet-keystone.git;a=summary
github mirrors
All of the modules are also mirrored to GitHub here
https://github.com/stackforge/
Note : GitHub should not be used for pull requests / bugs reports
Branches
The master branch of each module corresponds to the master branch of the current openstack core projects, once released, a new branch will be created and should be considered stable.
For example, the current master branch of stackforge/puppet-keystone is for grizzly, once released a new grizzly branch will be created, from that point onwards the master branch should target the havana release.
Releases
Master version of the modules will be released as a new major version to Puppet Forge (forge.puppetlabs.com) when its related version of openstack is released.
Each version of openstack will have a related release on the forge (fosom == 1.x, grizzly = 2.x)
When patches are accepted against a branch targetting a stable version, this will trigger a new release to that module on the forge.
NOTE: the automatic triggered forge releases still have not been setup, this process will have to be manual until this is completed.
Supported Platforms
The following OS/version are supported by the modules:
- Fedora 18
- RHEL 6.4
- Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise)
- Debian (what version?)
The modules have been primarily tested on Puppet 2.7.x and Ruby 1.8.7, although they are also being used with Puppet 3.1.x, 3.0.x, with Ruby 1.9.3.
Puppet 2.6.x is currently supported, but that support will be dropped soon b/c it has been EOL'ed by PuppetLabs
Getting Help
Mailing list
In general, the mailing list is preferred, because it makes the information more readily available so that others who have the same question can search for and find those answers.
puppet-openstack@puppetlabs.com
IRC
Or on an irc channel on freenode
#puppet-openstack
IRC logs can be found here:
http://irclog.perlgeek.de/puppet-openstack/
Submitting issues
Issues and features should be submitted under the puppet-openstack project on Launchpad:
https://launchpad.net/puppet-openstack/
Developer documentation
Steps to get started:
Q. How do I contribute to the modules ?
To contribute you now follow the same process as all of the other openstack projects.
Details can be found here:
- https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/How_To_Contribute
- https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/GettingTheCode
- https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/GerritWorkflow
- follow the regular process for contributing to openstack [1]
- go to : settings > watched projects and add the puppet projects (all of the form stackforge/puppet-*)
Voting
Any other user can +/- 1 a commit and add comments on commit but only members of the puppet-manager-core group have the ability to +2 a commit so it can be merged. Also results of unit tests, ci tests and smokestack will eventually be voting on commits before they can get merged.
Patches
Patches waiting to be merged can be viewed in gerrit e.g. for stackforge/puppet-keystone https://review.openstack.org/#/q/status:open+project:stackforge/stackforge/puppet-keystone,n,z
Q. How do I go about submitting a patch for a released branch, what the correct process? Unless is not relevant all patches should be approved for the master branch before you submit them for a stable branch. This ensures we maintain stability in the stable branches and functionality
Downloading a local patch
Clone the relevant module from stackforge, ex:
git clone git://github.com/stackforge/puppet-openstack
in the patch, find the git checkout or cherry-pick command, and copy it:
git fetch https://review.openstack.org/stackforge/puppet-openstack refs/changes/52/29452/9 && git checkout FETCH_HEAD
Rspec puppet tests
Running local tests
mkdir vendor export GEM_HOME=vendor bundle install # bundle exec rake -T bundle exec rake spec
