XOS development environment

This configuration can be used to do basic end-to-end development of XOS. It launches XOS in three Docker containers (development GUI, Synchronizer, database) and configures XOS to talk to an OpenStack backend. docker-compose is used to manage the containers.

NOTE: If your goal is to create a development environment for CORD, this configuration is not what you want. Look at the cord-pod configuration instead!

How to run it

The configuration can be either run on CloudLab (controlling an OpenStack backend set up by a CloudLab profile) or used with a basic DevStack configuration.

CloudLab

To get started on CloudLab:

  • Create an experiment using the OpenStack profile. Choose Kilo and disable security groups.
  • Wait until you get an email from CloudLab with title "OpenStack Instance Finished Setting Up".
  • Login to the ctl node of your experiment and run:
ctl:~$ git clone https://github.com/open-cloud/xos.git
ctl:~$ cd xos/xos/configurations/devel/
ctl:~/xos/xos/configurations/devel$ make cloudlab

DevStack

On a server with a fresh Ubuntu 14.04 install, this script can be used to bootstrap a single-node DevStack environment that can be used for basic XOS development. The script installs DevStack and checks out the XOS repository. Run the script and then invoke the XOS configuration for DevStack as follows:

~$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-cloud/xos/master/xos/configurations/common/devstack/setup-devstack.sh
~$ bash ./setup-devstack.sh
~$ cd ../xos/xos/configurations/devel/
~/xos/xos/configurations/devel$ make devstack

This setup has been run successfully in a VirtualBox VM with 2 CPUs and 4096 GB RAM. However it is recommended to use a dedicated server with more resources.

What you get

XOS will be set up with a single Deployment and Site. It should be in a state where you can create slices and associate instances with them.

Note that there are some issues with the networking setup in this configuration: VMs do not have a working DNS configuration in /etc/resolv.conf. If you fix this manually then everything should work.

Docker Helpers

Stop the containers: make stop

Restart the containers: make stop; make [cloudlab|devstack]

Delete the containers and relaunch them: make rm; make [cloudlab|devstack]

Build the containers from scratch using the local XOS source tree: make containers

View logs: make showlogs

See what containers are running: make ps

Open a shell on the XOS container: make enter-xos

Open a shell on the Synchronizer container: make enter-synchronizer
