Ironic: Bare Metal provisioning for OpenStack
Ironic is under rapid initial development, forked from Nova's Baremetal driver. If you're looking for something that works today, go there :)
If you'd like to join the development, start by reading the developer docs here, and then join us in the #openstack-ironic
on irc.freenode.net!
Building Documentation Locally
If you want to build the ironic docs for yourself locally, follow these steps:
create a vm
#using vagrant 1.2.2 with a virtualbox backend vagrant init precise32 #enable networking with the host vi Vagrantfile add config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 80, host: 4567 vagrant up
shell into the vm
vagrant ssh
install dependencies
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -y git apache2 python-pip python-dev swig libssl-dev python-pip libmysqlclient-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev libxslt1-dev python-mysqldb sudo pip install virtualenv setuptools-git flake8 tox sudo easy_install nose
get the ironic repo
cd ~ git clone git://github.com/openstack/ironic.git
create a file enabling ironic.localhost in apache
sudo vi /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/100-ironic # contents <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName ironic.localhost DocumentRoot /opt/source/ironic/doc/build/html <Directory /opt/source/ironic/doc/build/html> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny allow from all </Directory> </VirtualHost> # change the DocumentRoot and the Directory to point the the ironic repo, if you are using # vagrant and the ironic repo is the the vagrant user's home directory the code is fine
create a venv inside the ironic repo
cd ironic tox -evenv -- echo 'done'
activate the newly created venv
source .tox/venv/bin/activate
from inside the venv
python setup.py build_sphinx # as I run this I get 20 warnings, ignore the warnings
exit the venv
deactivate
restart apache
sudo service apache2 restart
on your host:
add ironic.localhost to /etc/hosts with: sudo sed -i 's/\(127.0.0.1\s*localhost\)/\1 ironic.localhost/' /etc/hosts
point your browser to http://ironic.localhost:4567
You should be reading your newly build documentation.
Try it on Devstack
To install Ironic using Devstack follow the following steps:
1. Obtain the latest copy of Devstack:
git clone git://github.com/openstack-dev/devstack.git
2. Go to the Devstack source tree and create a localrc file with at least the following options:

ADMIN_PASSWORD=password MYSQL_PASSWORD=password RABBIT_PASSWORD=password SERVICE_PASSWORD=password
3. Run installation of Devstack:
./stack.sh
4. Wait until everything gets installed.
5. Ironic API service is listening on http://YOUR_IP:6385
Using Disk Image Builder
In this section we will go over how to setup Ironic with in the tripleo enviroment.
The current Ironic element is intented to launch alongside the TripleO undercloud-vm.
If you have not use DIB before please read the TripleO guides:
- note if you are using a fresh install for your enviroment, Please run the
install-dependencies script called for in step #8 first. You will need to "apt-get install git" and git clone https://github.com/openstack/tripleo-incubator.git
