Description

This is a playbook to install swift with the zerocloud middleware and ui enabled.

Notes

Pending ansible pull request ansible/ansible#3930

The rax module will need to be patched in the interim to support disk_config.

You'll need a version of ansible with the rax module and the pyrax libraryinstalled.

Constantine:
As I get no love from Ansible team for some reason, for now it's better to use our Ansible fork at https://github.com/zerovm/ansible.git
It has both parted and parted_facts modules and all the rax fixes

How to setup

1. Create/choose ssh key for the new servers, let's denote its location by PRV_KEY and its name by KEY_NAME

2. Create/choose PyRax credentials file for your account, it usually looks like this:

   [rackspace_cloud]
    username = my_username
    api_key = 11111111111111111111111
    identity_type = rackspace

3. Copy rackspace_vars.yaml.example to rackspace_vars.yaml

4. Edit rackspace_vars.yaml file and change first variables to the credentials file location (full path only), KEY_NAME and region name, respectively. Example:

   credentials: /home/zerovm/.rax-cred
    key_name: zerovm
    region: IAD

5. Set up environment variables:

   export RAX_REGION=IAD
    export RAX_CREDS_FILE=/home/zerovm/.rax-cred

6. Copy rackspace-server-list.yaml.example to rackspace-server-list.yaml and edit it to your needs. The example file creates a big 10-node cluster, beware.

7. Now run ./rax-deploy.sh with the PRV_KEY filename as argument.
