Instructions for installing

...

Airship+

...

Tungsten Fabric using the Regional Controller and the TF Blueprint

Install the Regional Controller

The Regional Controller should already be running somewhere (hopefully on a machine or
VM dedicated for this purpose). See instructions on how to start the regional
controller.  https://wiki.akraino.org/display/AK/Starting+the+Regional+Controller

Clone the nc/tf repository using 

git clone https://gerrit.akraino.org/r/nc/tf

Setup ssh keys and put them on web -server 

Regional Controller goes to the remote node by ssh, so it needs ssh private key. It can be provided as http URL.  (It's not secure for production, it's only OK for the demo).

...

Hint: python provisional web server can be used on the localhost. Use python3 -m http.server

 Edit the file setup-env.sh 

Update all the environment variables define the ip addresses nodes, web server baseurl, etc. Define where the Regional Controller is located, as well as the login/password to use
(the login/password shown here are the built-in values and do not need to be changed, if you have not changed them on the Regional Controller):

export RC_HOST=<IP or DNS name of Regional Controller>
export USER=admin
export PW=admin123

Generate yaml files from templates

source setup-env.sh
cat objects.yaml.env | envsubst > objects.yaml
cat TF_blueprint.yaml.env | envsubst > TF_blueprint.yaml 

Clone the api-server repository.

This provides the CLI tools used to interact with the Regional Controller. Add the scripts from this repository to your PATH:

git clone https://gerrit.akraino.org/r/regional_controller/api-server
export PATH=$PATH:$PWD/api-server/scripts

Load the objects

Load objects defined in objects.yaml into the Regional Controller using:

rc_loaddata -H $RC_HOST -u $RC_USER -p $RC_PW -A objects.yaml

Load the blueprint

Load the blueprint  into the Regional Controller using:

rc_cli -H $RC_HOST -u $RC_USER -p $RC_PW blueprint create TF_blueprint.yaml

Get and export UUIDs

Get the UUIDs of the edgesite and the blueprint from the Regional Controller using:

...

export ESID=<UUID of edgesite in the RC>
export BPID=<UUID of blueprint in the RC>

Generate POD.yaml

cat POD.yaml.env | envsubst > POD.yaml

Create the POD

Create the POD using

rc_cli -H $RC_HOST -u $RC_USER -p $RC_PW pod create POD.yaml

This will cause the POD to be created, and the deploy.sh workflow script to be
run on the Regional Controller's workflow engine. This in turn will login to remote node by ssh
and install airship+ tungstenfabric demo on it

Checking POD status

If you want to monitor ongoing progess of the installation, you can issue periodic calls
to monitor the POD with:
