Problem with installation

gaurav_garg 2017-04-29 07:36:14 UTC #1

Following info from git repo. -
https://github.com/OpenEdgeComputing/elijah-openstack/

I am done with cloning git repository git clone -b ansible https://github.com/cmusatyalab/elijah-openstack
And then setting parameters as per said in step 5
Finding problem in ansible-playbook -i ./hosts openstack-kilo.yaml command in step 6.
Wherein, my above script has been running for hours without showing any logs.
I am using Ubuntu 16.04....
Any solutions??
Thanks

@gaurav_garg,

If you could indicate which task the Ansible script was on I could confirm, however my intuition leads me to believe that it is stuck on the step where it is attempting to install the cloudlet library from the elijah-provisioning repository. This is because the fabric script used to install elijah-provisioning was designed to run as a local user and not root. To remedy this, there are variables (local_user and local_user_pw) you must specify in ansible/roles/cloudlet/vars/main.yml that define which user to use to perform the installation. By default these are set to cloudlet/cloudlet which you should change to be a local user on your Ubuntu system.

Another item is that we have so far only tested this on Ubuntu 14.04 because we are bound currently to the Kilo release of OpenStack. The installation may fail later on due to dependencies not being satisfied. I would recommend installing to 14.04 if possible.

Tom

Thanks for your prompt reply...It worked for me...
However, I got stuck at another phase now...

TASK [cloudlet : (CLOUDLET) install library using fabric]

teiszler 2017-05-02 12:26:30 UTC #4

@gaurav_garg,

This is the step I was referring to. What do you have set in ansible/roles/cloudlet/vars/main.yml for local_user and local_user_pw? Does that user exist on the system?

Tom

Moreover, does the installation require openstack pre-installed..??
Because I don't have openstack installed in my system

@teiszler
Sorry to disturb, however, since now i am running that script on Ubuntu14.04, TASK [cloudlet : (CLOUDLET) install library using fabric] error is resolved.
However,I am getting an error now in TASK [openstack-controller : (CONTROLLER) run mysql installation]
Kindly help me with this

@gaurav_garg,

You do not need to have OpenStack preinstalled. The Ansible script will install OpenStack Kilo.

I have seen the script get stuck during the sql installation a small number of times. I am unsure how it gets into this state. When you installed 14.04, was it a clean install?

What you could try is to remove mariadb-server, and then rerun the script again:

apt-get remove mariadb-server
ansible-playbook ....

I shall be trying this.
byt he way, normally how much time does it take for this command to get finished??
Thanks

teiszler 2017-05-04 13:31:04 UTC #10

It doesn't take long at all. A second or two at most. The problem is that there are many interactive prompts and we are trying to simulate the answering of these prompts via Ansible. If removing and resinstalling(via the Ansible script) doesn't solve the issue, you could run mysql_secure_installation manually and respond to the prompts that way. You would then just have to comment out this task in the Ansible script ( ansible/roles/openstack-controller/tasks/main.yml ).

Tom

Thanks again, sir
After completing step 8, i am supposed to get project tab
where do i get that web page where project tab is displayed??

teiszler 2017-05-05 12:20:13 UTC #12

You should be able to go to http://localhost/horizon and then log in with the credentials you specified in Ansible variables.

Thanks,
Tom

gaurav_garg 2017-05-08 09:28:45 UTC #13

Sir
I got the horizon page. However, i am unable to login with the credentials in ansible variables

teiszler 2017-05-08 12:11:28 UTC #14

@gaurav_garg,

The username should be admin and the password should be the following variable (and value if you left it the default):

keystone_admin_pw: changeme

A big thank you sir for all ur help
Finally my setup is all set
I also came to hear about an application "faceswap".
Is there any way I can use this setup for that app, provided that i do not know much about working of both the app, as well as, the setup which i have just set.

teiszler 2017-05-08 16:17:49 UTC #16

@gaurav_garg,

Yes you should be able to do so. The FaceSwap application is developed by Junjue Wang. It is Apache 2.0 Licensed and you can get the code here: https://github.com/cmusatyalab/faceswap. It consists of an Android client and a backend engine that runs on the Gabriel framework. So Gabriel would run the FaceSwap engine on your VM instance and then you would have the Android FaceSwap application connect to the backend.

Tom

Respected Sir
Now, while resuming base VM from openstack horizon, I am finding this error to hinder my installation progress

gaurav_garg 2017-05-17 09:46:40 UTC #18

Respected Sir
After installation of faceswap server on Linux VM ubuntu 14.04 and faceswap android application, i am stuck with an error while connecting app and server.
The android app is stuck at "communicating to Backend Server.. Please Wait" with a wheel rotating...
And server shows this error as attached.
I shall be highly obliged if you could help me sort it out.

teiszler 2017-05-17 16:11:49 UTC #19

@gaurav_garg,

How did you install Gabriel? Did you build it from the source link that is listed in the FaceSwap README? Though this approach should work, there is an alternate approach you could look into using. If you look at this readme, you will see that there are prebuilt images that you can get and instantiate in OpenStack that have the server already up and running.

Regards,
Tom

Thanks for the help. however, now i am facing a new problem....

After executing the command -
sudo virsh create faceswap-server.xml

I am getting something like this on my virtual manager -

teiszler 2017-05-25 13:03:01 UTC #21

I am assuming you were attempting to use Method 2 outlined in the readme. Did you modify the xml to point to the correct path of where you downloaded the faceswap qcow2 image? Since you have OpenStack installed as part of elijah-openstack you can try the Method 1 which is to import the image into OpenStack and launch the instance there.

Tom
