packer-proxmoxbeta

packer template to build Proxmox Server images

vagrant images are available at the 42n4 vagrant account.

Building Images

To build images, simply run:

git clone https://github.com/pwasiewi/packer-proxmoxbeta
cd packer-proxmoxbeta
export VAGRANT_CLOUD_TOKEN=the token string taken from Vagrant https://app.vagrantup.com/settings/security
packer build -only=virtualbox-iso template.json

If you want to build only virtualbox, vmware or qemu, but now only virtualbox one works with ceph.

packer build -only=virtualbox-iso template.json
packer build -only=vmware-iso template.json
packer build -only=qemu template.json

Setting up the proxmox cluster (START FOR BEGINNERS!)

Next (or HERE YOU START and use my image 42n4/promoxbeta without doing your own one),
try to execute it in a new directory in order to have the 3 server cluster:

#vagrant destroy -f #remove ALL previous instances
#vagrant box update #update this box in order to have my newest image
mkdir vProxmox && cd vProxmox
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pwasiewi/packer-proxmoxbeta/master/Vagrantfile.3hosts -O Vagrantfile
sed -i 's/192.168.0/192.168.<your local net number>/g' Vagrantfile
sed -i 's/enp0s31f6/eth0/g' Vagrantfile # you change the host bridge name if it is not 'enp0s31f6'
#in MSWin it gives you names: VBoxManage.exe list bridgedifs
#:bridge => "Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (2) I219-V",
vagrant up
vagrant ssh server1

In M$Windows: https://www.sitepoint.com/getting-started-vagrant-windows/ - you use putty after converting with puttygen a vagrant openssh key to a putty key

Login to the server1 root account

sudo su -

and execute:

va_hosts4ssh server  #password: packer
pvecm create kluster
sleep 5
for i in server2 server3; do ssh $i "pvecm add server1"; done
for i in server3 server2; do ssh $i "reboot"; done
reboot

vagrant ssh server1

Login again:

sudo su -
ae "apt-get update"
ae "apt-get install -y ceph"
pveceph init --network 192.168.<YOUR_NET>.0/24 #CHANGE TO YOUR NET
for i in server1 server2 server3; do ssh $i "pveceph createmon"; done
for i in server1 server2 server3; do ssh $i "ceph-disk zap /dev/sdb" && ssh $i "pveceph createosd /dev/sdb" && ssh $i "partprobe /dev/sdb1"; done
cd /etc/pve/priv/
mkdir ceph
cp /etc/ceph/ceph.client.admin.keyring ceph/rbd.keyring
ceph -s                          #ceph should be online
ceph osd lspools                 #look at the pools!
ceph osd pool create rbd 128     #create pool if not present
ceph osd pool set rbd size 2     #replica number
ceph osd pool set rbd min_size 1 #min replica number after e.g. server failure
ceph osd pool application enable rbd rbd
rbd pool init rbd
#GUI proxmox in a host browser: https://192.168.<YOUR_NET>.71:8006
#add in GUI rdb storage named ceph4vm with monitor hosts: 192.168.<YOUR_NET>.71 192.168.<YOUR_NET>.72 192.168.<YOUR_NET>.73 #CHANGE TO YOUR NET 
#it should be added automatically
#cp /etc/ceph/ceph.client.admin.keyring ceph/ceph4vm.keyring 
#net configs corrected, vmbr0 moved to the the second NIC2 
#first NIC1 is dedicated to vagrant NAT inner communication.
cd
ae "rm -f ~/interfaces && cp /usr/local/bin/va_interfaces ~/interfaces"
for i in server1 server2 server3; do ssh $i "sed -i 's/192.168.2.71/'`grep $i /etc/hosts | awk  '{ print $1}'`'/g' ~/interfaces && cat ~/interfaces"; done && \
ae "rm -f /etc/network/interfaces && cp ~/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces" && \
ae "cat /etc/network/interfaces"
for i in server3 server2; do ssh $i "reboot"; done && reboot

vagrant ssh server1

After reboot try to check if all servers and their ceph osds are up.

Exit with vagrant halt but you can loose your files with vagrant halt -f

Next time: vagrant up && vagrant ssh server1

#after vagrant up, again correct the net configs (removing vagrant public network settings)
sudo su -
ae "rm -f ~/interfaces && cp /usr/local/bin/va_interfaces ~/interfaces"
for i in server1 server2 server3; do ssh $i "sed -i 's/192.168.2.71/'`grep $i /etc/hosts | awk  '{ print $1}'`'/g' ~/interfaces && cat ~/interfaces"; done && \
ae "rm -f /etc/network/interfaces && cp ~/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces" && \
ae "cat /etc/network/interfaces"
for i in server3 server2; do ssh $i "reboot"; done && reboot

After reboot try to check if all servers and their ceph osds are up. Reset them until they are all up.

Release setup

Vagrant images at Vagrant are released by Circle CI.
setup instructions are the following:

1. Sign up
   • Vagrant
   • Circle CI.
2. Get API token
   • Vagrant
   • Circle CI
3. Create new build configuration at Vagrant
   and generate token.
4. Create project at Circle CI

5. Add Vagrant environment variables to Circle CI project:

   $ VAGRANT_CLOUD_TOKEN={{ your vagrant api token here }}
   $ CIRCLE_USERNAME={{ your circle ci username here }}
   $ CIRCLE_PROJECT={{ your circle ci project here }}
   $ CIRCLE_TOKEN={{ your circle ci token here }}
   $ CIRCLE_ENVVARENDPOINT="https://circleci.com/api/v1/project/$CIRCLE_USERNAME/$CIRCLE_PROJECT/envvar?circle-token=$CIRCLE_TOKEN"
   $ json="{\"name\":\"VAGRANT_CLOUD_TOKEN\",\"value\":\"$VAGRANT_CLOUD_TOKEN\"}"
   $ curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json" -d "$json" "$CIRCLE_ENVVARENDPOINT"

6. Edit circle.yml
