Re: How to add openstack cloud to juju 2.1.2-xenial

2017-04-11 Thread John Meinel

It sounds like the docs are out of date. The key should be
"agent-metadata-url" 'tools' was a much older name.

Re: How to add openstack cloud to juju 2.1.2-xenial

2017-04-11 Thread Daniel Bidwell

I am making progress.  My openstack cloud has been added now.

When I do "juju bootstrap acauits"  it comes back with:

Creating Juju controller "acauits-RegionOne" on acauits/RegionOne
ERROR failed to bootstrap model: no image metadata found

How do I get/generate image metadata?

I tried "juju metadata generate-tools", but "juju metadata generate-
image" complains that the controller isn't ready yet.

I have an OpenStack deployment. In my novarc file, I have this line:
export OS_AUTH_URL=http://FAKEURLFORTHISEMAIL.com:5000/v2.0

Look for a similar line in your novarc.

Re: How to add openstack cloud to juju 2.1.2-xenial

2017-04-11 Thread Daniel Bidwell

juju add-cloud asks:

Enter the API endpoint url for the cloud:
https://openstack.example.com:35574/v3.0/

What openstack service is it asking for?  Is it asking for the
dashboard, nova, or what?

If I have only one region now, do I give it the same url for both the
cloud and region?

My cloud is up and I can create vm's with the dashboard.  I just want
to tie it to juju now.

Thanks.

charms.reactive bi-weekly catchup

2017-04-11 Thread Stuart Bishop

Hi.

Alex Kavanagh,  Merlijn Sebrechts, Tim Van Steenburgh and myself met
for the regular charms.reactive development discussions.

As some of us are again finding time for actual coding work, we
discussed some smaller fully backwards compatible tasks to move
forward with.

We identified the work on deprecating interface layers and allowing
them to be declared in standard layers as one task that can be
immediately worked on. I plan to tackle this unless others beat me to
it. I believe this  only requires work in charm-tools' 'charm build',
and related charms.reactive documentation.

Another task is migrating the leadership layer into the base layer or
charms.reactive core, per previous discussions. As the existing
implementation is ok and not complex, I'm leaving this for anyone who
wants to dip their toe into the code base.

A simple job is documenting how layers should declare their license
information. It seems a convention of LICENSE.layername or similar
will work fine here and this just needs to be documented.

Renaming states to flags should wait until we have a clearer idea of
any necessary API changes. The rename gives us the opportunity to
change the API while keeping the old API unchanged for backwards
compatibility. Backwards compatibility was a bit of a theme, with Alex
mentioning feedback he has received from charmers already having too
much legacy code needing rewrites and not needing more.

I will discuss my pull request on making the relations base class
pluggable with Cory. This should allow us to start exploring flag
implementations without the pain of using a charms.reactive fork. This
would be an experimental feature rather than one actively supported
and documented.

A lengthy discussion was had on the triggers proposal (
https://github.com/juju-solutions/charms.reactive/issues/97 ). Some of
my assumptions about this were false, as the proposal is actually for
a mechanism to allow state/flag changes to be made after every handler
(rather than 'preflight' code, run before the main reactive loop is
started). Merlijn will work on compelling use cases to convince us on
why this new feature would be a benefit.

We should try to articulate any pain points with the current
charms.reactive framework and bring them to the table. Not everyone is
using charms.reactive the same way, and maybe there are issues people
are having that need to be tackled.

The group will be meeting again in another two weeks.

Discussions welcome here or in github issues at
https://github.com/juju-solutions/charms.reactive/issues :-)

Re: How to add openstack cloud to juju 2.1.2-xenial

2017-04-11 Thread Matthew Helmke

The Juju documentation includes a page dedicated to your task. Here is the
link: https://jujucharms.com/docs/stable/help-openstack.

The tl;dr for your specific question is that if you want to use the
authentication from your existing OpenStack cloud, then during `juju
add-cloud` you choose the `userpass` auth type and enter the URL for the
API. This is typically found in your existing novarc file. Follow that by
running `juju autoload-credentials` and you will be all set.

Openstack load balancer question

2017-04-11 Thread ed bond

Hello all,

Here is my juju 2 environment file: https://paste.ubuntu.com/24359766/ 


Anyone have an idea on how to get the load balancer as a service 
running with `cloud:xenial-newton` ? I enabled it in openstack-dashboard. I 
can’t find the configuration anywhere else. The VPN as a service shows up the 
LB does not.

It should start shipping WAL files and making regular filesystem level backups.

It should. However, S3 is still marked as experimental as I've only
been testing with Swift. It also might need the bucket to be created
(if so, file a bug as the charm should do this automatically). If you
are able to help shake out any kinks here, that would be great and I
can remove the experimental warnings. Watching the bucket contents is
probably the easiest way to confirm it is working. If you run 'SELECT
pg_switch_xlog();' at a psql prompt, you should shortly see a new wal
file appear. This is simpler than watching the main postgresql log or
/var/lib/postgresql/9.x/main/pg_xlog/.

Yes.

Yes, certainly. Its a minor update, which I've just pushed out to cs:postgresql

I've got a branch nearly done which adds point-in-time recovery
actions (using WAL-E), and a few helpers like list-backups. This
should allow you to easily make use of the backups and wal archive,
for recovering deployments or cloning them.

I'm currently experiencing failures with the wal-e snap inside lxd
containers (the investigation is ongoing).
