Creating an HCaaS Ephemeral Environment

hcaas-ee.md

Prerequisites

• The setup for the ephemeral environments. You do not need to setup clowder or any of the IQE tools, but you do need to setup bonfire.

• Clone/update the branch https://github.com/mikedep333/pulp-ocp-template/tree/hcaas_ephemeral_environment .

  • NOTE: Only pulp-template.yaml will be used. The other .yaml files are out-of-date and will not be used.

• Download/install the mc client

  • Note that the rpm will require creating an alias: alias mc=mcli

• Install pulp-cli (optional):

pip install --upgrade pulp-cli

Login and namespace

• Login to the ephemeral environment cluster https://oauth-openshift.apps.c-rh-c-eph.8p0c.p1.openshiftapps.com/oauth/token/request

• Reserve a namespace. This will output a name like ephemeral-abcdef.

bonfire namespace reserve --duration 8h

• NOTE: Your namespace will be a "namespace pool" with a bunch of kubernetes objects already in it. These can be safely ignored for now.

• Set the namespace

oc config set-context --current --namespace=ephemeral-abcdef

• Modify pulp-template.yaml. Replace:

  namespace: openshift

with:

  namespace: ephemeral-abcdef

Deploy Pulp

• Deploy the template

oc apply -f pulp-template.yaml

• Deploy an instance of Pulp:

oc new-app pulp-example -p DOMAIN=apps.c-rh-c-eph.8p0c.p1.openshiftapps.com -p PULP_ADMIN_PASSWORD=orangej321

• Verify the pulp application (with several pods) and the "minio" pod are running under https://console-openshift-console.apps.c-rh-c-eph.8p0c.p1.openshiftapps.com/topology/ns/ephemeral-abcdef?view=graph

Create the minio S3 storage bucket

• Get the hostname for the minio route.

oc get route | grep minio

• Specify that hostname in this command:

mc config host add s3 http://minio-abcde.apps.c-rh-c-eph.8p0c.p1.openshiftapps.com AKIAIT2Z5TDYPX3ARJBA fqRvjWaPU5o0fCqQuUWbj9Fainj2pVZtBCiDiieS --api S3v4

• This next command only ever needs to be run once.

mc config host rm local

• Now create the bucket

mc mb s3/pulp3 --region us-east-1

Configure pulp-cli (Optional)

• Get the hostname for all of the pulp application routes

oc get route | grep example-pulp-api-v3

• Specify that hostname in this command to configure the pulp-cli:

pulp config create --username admin --password orangej321 --base-url https://pulp-abcde.apps.c-rh-c-eph.8p0c.p1.openshiftapps.com   --no-verify-ssl --overwrite

• Specify that hostname as you append to ~/.netrc:

machine pulp-abcde.apps.c-rh-c-eph.8p0c.p1.openshiftapps.com
login admin
password orangej321

You can now run the pulp CLI commands on the pulp-rpm docs for example.
