if we can bring contrail devstack installer under gerrit, adding a CI
job for devstack sanity can ensure a sane "always available" devstack
functional environment

RE: [opencontrail-dev] OpenContrail Quick Start
It does appear that commits have dropped off to zero since the end of
April
https://github.com/Juniper/contrail-installer/graphs/contributors [1]
It’s also a bit odd that this repo is on GitHub only rather than
being a mirror of Gerrit. I’m not clear on what the reasoning is
behind some repos being only on GitHub while other repos have the
authoritative source on Gerrit and an automated mirror from Gerrit to
GitHub.

SUBJECT: RE: [opencontrail-dev] OpenContrail Quick Start
We have struggled for quite some time getting a basic devstack +
open-contrail All-in-One installation functional as well.
In absence of "getting started" documentation, it definitely was not
easy. There is a contrail-installer repo but seems to be little
outdated.
With no support for MITAKA and earlier releases of devstack, it makes
things more difficult.
We tried pushing a fix to the repo but there was didn’t get
response on the pull request
https://github.com/Juniper/contrail-installer/pull/147 [2]
Eventually, we wrote a couple of scripts and repos as a stopgap
solution to get things started. This hacks around a few of the issues
to have a working devstack-all-in-one-node.
We are working on contributing by fixing issues and documenting
relevant getting-started steps.
For now, if it helps, you can try using
https://github.com/nasim-techtrueup/contrail-devstack [3]
which is working fairly well for mainline contrail
+ newton devstack on ubuntu14.04.2 build

You’re right that “getting started” documentation is a major
area for improvement.
We’ve got a new documentation repository where I hope we will be
able to start consolidating the best information and weeding out the
older and less accurate information, but currently it’s just a
skeleton.

If you’ve kept good notes on what worked and what didn’t we would
love to have your help in cleaning up and consolidating the stuff that
worked.

SUBJECT: [opencontrail-dev] OpenContrail Quick Start
Dear All,
I am quite new to OpenContrail, but not so much to OpenStack or
fiddling around vrtual networking in general. I am trying to bring up
a single node OpenContrail. Something along the lines of `devstack`.
Unfortunately, the documentation seems to be all over the place, for
instance the Quick Start Guide looks quite dated and hard to follow.
It took me a bit of a time to actually find out that there's a repo
called `contrail-installer` that does something along the lines of
what I want to do. I had a few troubles getting around the issues to
make it run successfully on Ubuntu 16.04 (clearly the support doesn't
exist, and looks like this project is not actively maintained), I have
not yet completely gone past that issue - but using another approach I
followed I am able to build the repository(ies).
After stumbling upon the following document -
http://juniper.github.io/contrail-vnc/README.html [10]
I managed to eventually get everything to build (though the approach
I followed was inspired from what is mentioned here, but not exactly
those instructions). For instance, when you build everything - it
starts with web-core which I am not so much interested at the moment.
I have managed to build the vRouter agent and the kernel module.
(along with almost everything from the contrail-controller repo).
I have a couple of questions -
1. Was I really looking at right places? This seems to be a rather
steep learning curve for someone working for the first time with
OpenContrail.
2. If I am just interested in 'talking to agent somehow' and
configuring the 'vrouter kernel module' to see what the datapath looks
like - what should be the next logical step? Is it even trivially
possible. I haven't looked at some of the unit-code tests yet, which I
would probably next, but just wanted to learn if there's an alternate
/ better way.
Thanks in advance.
