ceph-ansible
============
Ansible playbook for Ceph!
Clone me:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/ceph/ceph-ansible.git
```
## What does it do?
General support for:
* Monitors
* OSDs
* MDSs
* RGW
More details:
* Authentication (cephx), this can be disabled.
* Supports cluster public and private network.
* Monitors deployment. You can easily start with one monitor and then progressively add new nodes. So can deploy one monitor for testing purpose. For production, I recommend to always use an odd number of monitors, 3 tends to be the standard.
* Object Storage Daemons. Like the monitors you can start with a certain amount of nodes and then grow this number. The playbook either supports a dedicated device for storing the journal or both journal and OSD data on the same device (using a tiny partition at the beginning of the device).
* Metadata daemons.
* Collocation. The playbook supports collocating Monitors, OSDs and MDSs on the same machine.
* The playbook was validated on Debian Wheezy, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and CentOS 6.4.
* Tested on Ceph Dumpling and Emperor.
* A rolling upgrade playbook was written, an upgrade from Dumpling to Emperor was performed and worked.
## Configuring Ceph
The supported method for defining your ceph.conf is to use the `ceph_conf_overrides` variable. This allows you to specify configuration options using
an INI format. This variable can be used to override sections already defined in ceph.conf (see: `roles/ceph-common/templates/ceph.conf.j2`) or to provide
new configuration options. The following sections in ceph.conf are supported: [global], [mon], [osd], [mds] and [rgw].
An example:
```
ceph_conf_overrides:
global:
foo: 1234
bar: 5678
osd:
osd mkfs type: ext4
```
**Note:** we will no longer accept pull requests that modify the ceph.conf template unless it helps the deployment. For simple configuration tweaks
please use the `ceph_conf_overrides` variable.
## Setup with Vagrant using virtualbox provider
* Create vagrant_variables.yml
```
$ cp vagrant_variables.yml.sample vagrant_variables.yml
```
* Create site.yml
```
$ cp site.yml.sample site.yml
```
* Create VMs
```
$ vagrant up --no-provision --provider=virtualbox
$ vagrant provision

```
To re-run the Ansible provisioning scripts:
```bash
$ vagrant provision
```
## Specifying fsid and secret key in production
The Vagrantfile specifies an fsid for the cluster and a secret key for the
monitor. If using these playbooks in production, you must generate your own `fsid`
in `group_vars/all` and `monitor_secret` in `group_vars/mons`. Those files contain
information about how to generate appropriate values for these variables.
## Specifying package origin
By default, ceph-common installs from Ceph repository. However, you
can set `ceph_origin` to "distro" to install Ceph from your default repository.
## Setup for Vagrant using libvirt provider
* Create vagrant_variables.yml
```
$ cp vagrant_variables.yml.sample vagrant_variables.yml
```
* Edit `vagrant_variables.yml` and setup the following variables:
```yml
memory: 1024
disks: "[ '/dev/vdb', '/dev/vdc' ]"
vagrant_box: centos/7
```
* Create site.yml
```
$ cp site.yml.sample site.yml
```
* Create VMs
```
$ sudo vagrant up --no-provision --provider=libvirt
$ sudo vagrant provision
```
## Setup for Vagrant using parallels provider
* Create vagrant_variables.yml
```
$ cp vagrant_variables.yml.sample vagrant_variables.yml
```
* Edit `vagrant_variables.yml` and setup the following variables:
```yml
vagrant_box: parallels/ubuntu-14.04
```
* Create site.yml
```
$ cp site.yml.sample site.yml
```
* Create VMs
```
$ vagrant up --no-provision --provider=parallels
$ vagrant provision
```
### For Debian based systems
If you want to use "backports", you can set "true" to `ceph_use_distro_backports`.
Attention, ceph-common doesn't manage backports repository, you must add it yourself.
# Want to contribute?
Read this carefully then :).
The repository centralises all the Ansible roles.
The roles are all part of the Galaxy.
We love contribution and we love giving visibility to our contributors, this is why all the **commits must be signed-off**.
## Submit a patch
To start contriuting just do:
```
$ git checkout -b my-working-branch
$ # do your changes #
$ git add -p
```
One more step, before pushing your code you should run a syntax check:
```
$ ansible-playbook -i dummy-ansible-hosts test.yml --syntax-check
```
If your change impacts a variable file in a role such as `roles`ceph-common/defaults/main.yml`, you need to generate a `group_vars` file:
```
$ ./generate_group_vars_sample.sh
```
You are finally ready to push your changes on Github:
```
$ git commit -s
$ git push origin my-working-branch
```
Worked on a change and you don't want to resend a commit for a syntax fix?
```
$ # do your syntax change #
$ git commit --amend
$ git push -f origin my-working-branch
```
# Testing PR
Go on the github interface and submit a PR.
Now we have 2 online CIs:
* Travis, simply does a syntax check
* Jenkins Ceph: bootstraps one monitor, one OSD, one RGW
If Jenkins detects that your commit broke something it will turn red.
You can then check the logs of the Jenkins by clicking on "Testing Playbooks" button in your PR and go to "Console Output".
You can now submit a new commit/change that will update the CI system to run a new play.
It might happen that the CI does not get reloead so you can simply leave a comment on your PR with "test this please" and it will trigger a new CI build.
