Installing Tatu
===============
Devstack
--------
So far (March 2018) I've been developing Tatu on my devstack instance. The
devstack plugin is mostly working. See the README under tatu/devstack.
Installation Tools
------------------
No work has been done to automate Tatu installation for production. We plan
to provide Ansible and Kolla installers, but this is just a vague intent at the
moment (March 2018).
Manual Installation
-------------------
A good guide to manual installation is to look at Tatu's devstack plugin (in
tatu/devstack/plugin.sh). This document's steps may become stale, but the
steps are given in more detail and with some motivation.
Installing Tatus daemons
There are 2 daemons: API daemon and Notifications daemon.
Get the code
On your controller node, in a development directory:
# git clone https://github.com/openstack/tatu
# cd tatu
# python setup.py develop
Modify Tatus cloud-init script
WARNING: user-cloud-config has only been tested on Fedora-Cloud-Base-25-1.3.x86_64
tatu/files/user-cloud-config is a cloud-init script that needs to run once on every VM.
It extracts Tatus dynamic vendor data from ConfigDrive;
Finds the one-time-token and uses it in the call to Tatu /noauth/hostcerts API;
Does the user account and SSH configuration;
Finally, sets up a cron job to periodically refresh the revoked-keys file from Tatu.
If youre using my branch of Dragonflow (https://github.com/pinodeca/dragonflow/tree/tatu) then a VM can reach the Tatu API at http://169.254.169.254/noauth via the Metadata Proxy. However, if youre using any other Neutron driver, youll need to modify the cloud-init script. Replace:
url=http://169.254.169.254/….
in tatu/files/user-cloud-config in 2 places, with:
url=http://<Tatu APIs VM-accessible address>/….
And make sure any VMs you deploy are in Tenants and Networks that have SNAT enabled (or give every VM a FloatingIP).
Prepare the cloud-init script as static vendor data...
How does Tatus cloud-init script get into the VMs you deploy? There are two ways.
The first and recommended way (and what I did in the video demo) is to use static vendor data. First, convert the (possibly modified) cloud-init to vendor-data by running the following command from the tatu directory:
# scripts/cloud-config-to-vendor-data files/user-cloud-config > /etc/nova/tatu_static_vd.json
And now modify /etc/nova/nova-cpu.conf as follows:
[api]
vendordata_providers = StaticJSON,DynamicJSON
vendordata_jsonfile_path = /etc/nova/tatu_static_vd.json
...or pass it as user-data for each VM launch
The second/alternative way to get the cloud-init script into your VM is to pass it as user-data at launch time. The Horizon instance launch panel has a tab with a text field to paste a cloud-init user data script. Users will have to paste Tatus user-cloud-config script at every launch. Obviously, this isnt as good a user experience.
Configure dynamic vendor data
In order to configure SSH, Tatus cloud-init script needs some data unique to each VM:
A one-time-token generated by Tatu for the specific VM
The list of user accounts to configure (based on Keystone roles in the VMs project)
The list of user accounts that need sudo access.
As well as some data thats common to VMs in the project:
The projects public key for validating User SSH certificates.
A non-standard SSH port.
All this information is passed to the VM as follows:
At launch time, Nova Compute securely calls Tatus dynamic vendordata API.
Nova writes the vendordata to ConfigDrive
Note: to protect the one-time-token and the user account names, its best not to expose thiis information via the metadata API.
To enable ConfigDrive, add this to /etc/nova/nova-cpu.conf:
[DEFAULT]
force_config_drive=True
TODO: disable Tatu vendor data availability via MetaData API. May require Nova changes.
To get Nova Compute talking to Tatu, add this to /etc/nova/nova-cpu.conf:
[api]
vendordata_providers = StaticJSON, DynamicJSON
vendordata_dynamic_targets = 'tatu@http://127.0.0.1:18322/novavendordata'
vendordata_dynamic_connect_timeout = 5
vendordata_dynamic_read_timeout = 30
[vendordata_dynamic_auth]
auth_url = http://127.0.0.1/identity
auth_type = password
username = admin
password = pinot
project_id = 2e6c998ad16f4045821304470a57d160
user_domain_name = default
Of course, modify the IP addresses, project ID, username and password as appropriate.
Prepare /etc/tatu/tatu.conf
# cd tatu
# mkdir /etc/tatu
# cp files/tatu.conf /etc/tatu/
Editing /etc/tatu/tatu.conf:
use_pat_bastions = False
sqlalchemy_engine = <URI for your database, e.g. mysql+pymysql://root:pinot@127.0.0.1/tatu>
auth_url = <location of identity API>
user_id = <ID of the Admin user>
Launch Tatus notification daemon
Tatus notification daemon only needs tatu.conf, so we can launch it now.
Tatu listens on topic “tatu_notifications” for:
Project creation and deletion events from Keystone.
To create new CA key pairs or clean up unused ones.
Role assignment deletion events from Keystone.
To revoke user SSH certificates that are too permissive.
VM deletion events from Nova.
To clean up per-VM bastion and DNS state.
Edit both /etc/keystone/keystone.conf and /etc/nova/nova.conf as follows:
[oslo_messaging_notifications]
topics = notifications,tatu_notifications
Now launch Tatus notification listener daemon:
# python tatu/notifications.py
At first launch you should see debug messages indicating that CA key pairs are being created for all existing projects.
Prepare /etc/tatu/paste.ini
# cd tatu
# mkdir /etc/tatu
# cp files/paste.ini /etc/tatu/
paste.ini should only need these modifications:
Host (address the daemon will listen on)
Port (port the daemon will listen on)
admin_token - run "openstack token issue" and put the resulting token ID here. TOKEN=$(openstack token issue -f yaml -c id | awk '{print $2}')
Launch Tatus API daemon
Tatus API daemon needs both tatu.conf and paste.ini. We can launch it now.
I have done all my testing with Pylons (no good reason, Im new to wsgi frameworks):
# pip install pylons
# pserve files/paste.ini
Note the API serves /noauth/hostcerts and /noauth/revokeduserkeys without authorization (so that newly bootstrapped servers can access get their certificates and the list of revoked keys).
Register Tatu API in Keystone
# openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne ssh public http://147.75.72.229:18322/
# openstack service create --name tatu --description "OpenStack SSH Management" ssh
Thanks to this registration, neither the dashboard nor CLI need configuration to find Tatu.
