Centos 7

Front-end node

Prerrequisites

OpenNebula

You have to install OpenNebula (i.e. installing the opennebula-node package, the shared directories, the network bridge, etc.). That means that the OpenNebula node should be installed as if it was going to run KVM Virtual Machines. You can follow the instructions in the official OpenNebula documentation.

If you have issues with the nfs service enable first the rcpbind service and try again. To enable rcpbind use the following commands:

$ systemctl enable rpcbind
$ systemctl start rpcbind

Docker

Then you have to install Docker, according to the official Docker documentation.

Warning

We recommend using docker version 1.9. If you use docker engine versions greater than 1.9, we can not ensure that OneDock works correctly. If you have doubts about installing an scpecific version of docker, please check the installation scripts in this repository: install/centos/install-docker

You need to install a Docker Registry v2.0 that is usable from all the nodes. Its name must be included in the variable LOCAL_SERVER in the file /var/lib/one/remotes/onedock.conf.

REMEMBER to install the certificates of your Docker registry in the proper directories. The most easy way to install the certificate is to copy it into the folder /etc/docker/certs.d/$HOSTNAME:5000/. But you should copy it for the whole system in case that you want to use other commands (e.g. curl).

In case of CentOS 7, you can use the following code:

$ mkdir -p /etc/docker/certs.d/$HOSTNAME:5000/
$ cp /var/lib/docker-registry/certs/domain.crt /etc/docker/certs.d/$HOSTNAME\:5000/
$ cp /var/lib/docker-registry/certs/domain.crt /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/
$ update-ca-trust extract
$ service docker restart

Required packages

Now install the required packages: jq, xmlstarlet

$ yum -y install jq xmlstarlet

Installation of ONEDock and activating it in ONE

From package

You must have the epel repository enabled:

$ yum install epel-release

Then you have to download the required package:

$ wget http://repo.indigo-datacloud.eu/repository/indigo/2/centos7/x86_64/updates/onedock-master-1.2-1.noarch.rpm -O onedock-master

And install its dependencies and the main package:

$ yum install jq xmlstarlet
$ rpm -i onedock-master --replacefiles

Finally restart the opennebula service:

$ sudo service opennebula restart

Manually

Once OpenNebula, Docker, a Docker Registry and the required packages have been installed, you can install ONEDock as follows (as root user):

$ cd /tmp/
$ git clone https://github.com/indigo-dc/onedock
$ cd onedock
$ ./setup_files.sh

ONEDock will be installed. Then you should adjust the variables in /var/lib/one/remotes/onedock.conf according to your deployment. In particular:

LOCAL_SERVER points to the local docker registry
DATASTORE_DATA_PATH points to the folder in which the images in the docker registry are stored

In order to activate ONEDock in ONE, you just need to update the /etc/one/oned.conf file.

$ cat >> /etc/one/oned.conf << EOF
IM_MAD = [
      name       = "onedock",
      executable = "one_im_ssh",
      arguments  = "-r 3 -t 15 onedock" ]

VM_MAD = [
    name       = "onedock",
    executable = "one_vmm_exec",
    arguments  = "-t 15 -r 0 onedock",
    type       = "xml" ]

TM_MAD_CONF = [
    name = "onedock", ln_target = "SYSTEM", clone_target = "SYSTEM", shared = "yes"
]
EOF

Then you must add onedock to be available as transfer manager and datastore. Please locate the proper lines in /etc/one/oned.conf file and append the onedock keyword. In the default installation, the result will be similar to the next one:

TM_MAD = [
    executable = "one_tm",
    arguments = "-t 15 -d dummy,lvm,shared,fs_lvm,qcow2,ssh,vmfs,ceph,dev,onedock"
]

DATASTORE_MAD = [
    executable = "one_datastore",
    arguments  = "-t 15 -d dummy,fs,vmfs,lvm,ceph,dev,onedock"
]

Computing nodes

Installation of OpenNebula, Docker and the required packages

OpenNebula

Docker

You have to install Docker, according to the official Docker documentation.

Warning

We recommend using docker version 1.9. If you use docker engine versions greater than 1.9, we can not ensure that OneDock works correctly. If you have doubts about installing an scpecific version of docker, please check the installation scripts in this repository: install/centos/install-docker

REMEMBER to install the certificates of your Docker registry (from the frontend) in the proper directories (of the nodes). In case of CentOS 7, you can use the following code:

$ scp oneadmin@FRONT_END_IP:/var/lib/docker-registry/certs/domain.crt /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/
$ update-ca-trust extract
$ service docker restart

Required packages

Now install the required packages: jq, xmlstarlet

$ yum -y install jq xmlstarlet

Installation of ONEDock and activating it in ONE

From package

You must have the epel repository enabled:

$ yum install epel-release

Then you have to enable the INDIGO - DataCloud packages repositories. See full instructions here. Briefly you have to download the repo file from INDIGO SW Repository in your /etc/yum.repos.d folder.

$ cd /etc/yum.repos.d
$ wget http://repo.indigo-datacloud.eu/repos/2/indigo2.repo

And then install the GPG key for the INDIGO repository:

$ rpm --import http://repo.indigo-datacloud.eu/repository/RPM-GPG-KEY-indigodc

Finally install the Onedock package.

$ yum install onedock-node

Manually

You need to update the file /etc/sudoers.d/opennebula to add the file that will configure the network. You need to add the line

Cmnd_Alias ONEDOCK = /var/tmp/one/docker-manage-network, /usr/bin/qemu-nbd, /sbin/losetup, /bin/mount

And to activate this alias appending the alias in the following line

oneadmin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ONE_MISC, ONE_NET, ONE_LVM, ONE_ISCSI, ONE_OVS, ONE_XEN, ONEDOCK

Also you need to add the oneadmin user to the docker group, in order to be able to run docker containers.

$ usermod -aG docker oneadmin

Finally you need to create the onedock log file and give permission to the oneadmin user

$ touch /var/log/onedock.log && chown oneadmin:oneadmin /var/log/onedock.log

Issues

Most of the issues come from an incorrect configuration of OpenNebula or the docker registry. The main way to find what is causing the issue is checking the log files.

The log file for ONEDock can be found in /var/log/onedock.log. The log of the OpenNebula daemon is located in /var/log/one/oned.log.

Job for nfs-server.service failed because the control process exited with error code

This error can happen during the OpenNebula installation. If you have issues with the nfs service enable first the rcpbind service and try again. To enable rcpbind use the following commands:

$ systemctl enable rpcbind
$ systemctl start rpcbind

Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': No such file or directory

If the frontend fails to add a new host and you see this error in the /var/log/one/oned.log file, make sure that you have the libvirt daemon running in the node that you want to add. To enable the daemon execute:

$ /usr/sbin/libvirtd -d

Can't connect to the NFS server - mount.nfs: Connection timed out

Most of the times this means that the firewall is blocking our NFS server. A nice tutorial to set up a nfs server and connect a client can be found here.
