Fedora 19 is when OpenShift Origin first became a feature.

This page is here to show how to setup OpenShift Origin on Fedora 19 using the packages in Fedora, as opposed to the packages published from upstream. These steps are written out to be done by hand. Yes, people can script and/or puppetize these steps. But these are written out so that people can see, and fine tune them.

Goal: By the end of this, you should have two machines. A broker machine, and one node machine. You should be able to create applications, that will be put on the node machine. You should be able to check the status of those applications. You should be able to point your web browser to the URL of those applications.

Note: There is no web console in Fedora 19. That will be in Fedora 20.

These instructions were created most from the following two places.

Initial Setup of Broker and Node Machines

ON BOTH BROKER AND NODE

# Start with a Fedora 19 minimal install
yum -y update
# avoid clock skew
yum -y install ntp
/bin/systemctl enable ntpd.service
/bin/systemctl start  ntpd.service

ON BROKER

export DOMAIN="example.com"
export BROKERIP="$(nm-tool | grep Address | grep -v HW | awk '{print $2}')"
export BROKERNAME="broker.example.com"
export NODEIP="--- IP Address from Node machine ---"
export NODENAME="node.example.com"
# Here is the IP Address from Broker machine
nm-tool | grep Address | grep -v HW | awk '{print $2}'

ON NODE

export DOMAIN="example.com"
export BROKERIP="--- IP Address from Broker machine ---"
export BROKERNAME="broker.example.com"
export NODEIP="$(nm-tool | grep Address | grep -v HW | awk '{print $2}')"
export NODENAME="node.example.com"
# Here is the IP Address from Node machine
nm-tool | grep Address | grep -v HW | awk '{print $2}'

Setup and Configure Broker

Broker: Bind DNS

yum -y install bind bind-utils

KEYFILE=/var/named/${DOMAIN}.key

setup DNSSEC key pair

cd /var/named/
dnssec-keygen -a HMAC-MD5 -b 512 -n USER -r /dev/urandom ${DOMAIN}
KEY="$(grep Key: K${DOMAIN}*.private | cut -d ' ' -f 2)"
cd -
rndc-confgen -a -r /dev/urandom
echo $KEY

setup permissions for the DNSSEC key pair

restorecon -v /etc/rndc.* /etc/named.*
chown -v root:named /etc/rndc.key
chmod -v 640 /etc/rndc.key

setup forwarders

echo "forwarders { 8.8.8.8; 8.8.4.4; } ;" >> /var/named/forwarders.conf
restorecon -v /var/named/forwarders.conf
chmod -v 755 /var/named/forwarders.conf

setup initial DNS database

rm -rvf /var/named/dynamic
mkdir -vp /var/named/dynamic

cat <<EOF > /var/named/dynamic/${DOMAIN}.db
\$ORIGIN .
\$TTL 1	; 1 seconds (for testing only)
${DOMAIN} IN SOA ns1.${DOMAIN}. hostmaster.${DOMAIN}. (
                         2011112904 ; serial
                         60         ; refresh (1 minute)
                         15         ; retry (15 seconds)
                         1800       ; expire (30 minutes)
                         10         ; minimum (10 seconds)
                          )
                     NS ns1.${DOMAIN}.
                     MX 10 mail.${DOMAIN}.
\$ORIGIN ${DOMAIN}.
ns1	              A        127.0.0.1

EOF

Install the DNSSEC key

cat <<EOF > ${KEYFILE}
key ${DOMAIN} {
  algorithm HMAC-MD5;
  secret "${KEY}";
};
EOF

Check the key and database

cat /var/named/dynamic/${DOMAIN}.db
cat /var/named/${DOMAIN}.key

Set permissions for key and database

chown -Rv named:named /var/named
restorecon -rv /var/named

Create the named configuration file

mv /etc/named.conf /etc/named.conf.openshift
cat <<EOF > /etc/named.conf
// named.conf
//
// Provided by Red Hat bind package to configure the ISC BIND named(8) DNS
// server as a caching only nameserver (as a localhost DNS resolver only).
//
// See /usr/share/doc/bind*/sample/ for example named configuration files.
//

options {
    listen-on port 53 { any; };
    directory "/var/named";
    dump-file "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db";
    statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt";
    memstatistics-file "/var/named/data/named_mem_stats.txt";
    allow-query { any; };
    recursion yes;

    /* Path to ISC DLV key */
    bindkeys-file "/etc/named.iscdlv.key";

    // set forwarding to the next nearest server (from DHCP response
    forward only;
    include "forwarders.conf";
};

logging {
    channel default_debug {
        file "data/named.run";
        severity dynamic;
    };
};

// use the default rndc key
include "/etc/rndc.key";
 
controls {
    inet 127.0.0.1 port 953
    allow { 127.0.0.1; } keys { "rndc-key"; };
};

include "/etc/named.rfc1912.zones";

include "${DOMAIN}.key";

zone "${DOMAIN}" IN {
    type master;
    file "dynamic/${DOMAIN}.db";
    allow-update { key ${DOMAIN} ; } ;
};
EOF

Check the named config file

cat /etc/named.conf

setup permissions of named config file

chown -v root:named /etc/named.conf
restorecon /etc/named.conf

Setup firewall

firewall-cmd --add-service=dns
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=dns
firewall-cmd --list-all

Setup and start service

/bin/systemctl enable named.service
/bin/systemctl start named.service

add entries using nsupdate

nsupdate -k ${KEYFILE}
> server 127.0.0.1
> update delete broker.example.com A
> update add **your broker full name ** 180 A **your broker ip address**
(example: update add broker.example.com 180 A 192.168.122.220 )
> send
> quit

Test DNS server This is best done before hostname has been set.

ping broker.example.com
dig @127.0.0.1 broker.example.com

Broker: DHCP client and hostname

Setup dhcp client

echo "prepend domain-name-servers **your broker ip address**;" >> /etc/dhcp/dhclient-eth0.conf
echo "supersede host-name \"broker\";" >> /etc/dhcp/dhclient-eth0.conf
echo "supersede domain-name \"example.com\";" >> /etc/dhcp/dhclient-eth0.conf

Setup hostname

echo "broker.example.com" > /etc/hostname

Broker: MongoDB

yum -y install mongodb-server

vi /etc/mongodb.conf
# Uncomment auth = true
# Add smallfiles = true

/usr/bin/systemctl enable mongod.service
/usr/bin/systemctl status mongod.service
/usr/bin/systemctl start mongod.service
/usr/bin/systemctl status mongod.service

# Testing
mongo
> show dbs
> exit

Broker: QPID

Activemq on F19 isn't ready for OpenShift production. When it is, we'll use that For now we'll use QPID with mcollective.

yum install mcollective-qpid-plugin qpid-cpp-server
firewall-cmd --add-port=5672/tcp
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=5672/tcp
firewall-cmd --list-all

/usr/bin/systemctl enable qpidd.service
