    Multinode Deployment of Kolla
    =============================
    
    Deploy a registry (required for multinode)
    
    ==========================================
    
    
    A Docker registry is a locally hosted registry that replaces the need
    to pull from the Docker Hub to get images. Kolla can function with
    or without a local registry, however for a multinode deployment a registry
    is required.
    
    The Docker registry prior to version 2.3 has extremely bad performance
    because all container data is pushed for every image rather than taking
    advantage of Docker layering to optimize push operations.  For more
    information reference
    `pokey registry <https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/14018>`__.
    
    
    The Kolla community recommends using registry 2.3 or later. To deploy
    registry 2.3 do the following:
    
    ::
    
        docker run -d -p 4000:5000 --restart=always --name registry registry:2
    
    Note: Kolla looks for the Docker registry to use port 4000. (Docker default
    is port 5000)
    
    After starting the registry, it is necessary to instruct Docker that it will
    be communicating with an insecure registry.  To enable insecure registry
    communication on CentOS, modify the "/etc/sysconfig/docker" file to contain
    the following where 192.168.1.100 is the IP address of the machine where the
    registry is currently running:
    
    ::
    
        # CentOS
        other_args="--insecure-registry 192.168.1.100:4000"
    
    For Ubuntu, edit /etc/default/docker and add:
    
    ::
    
        # Ubuntu
        DOCKER_OPTS="--insecure-registry 192.168.1.100:4000"
    
    Docker Inc's packaged version of docker-engine for CentOS is defective and
    does not read the other_args configuration options from
    "/etc/sysconfig/docker".  To rectify this problem, ensure the
    following lines appear in the drop-in unit file at
    "/etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/kolla.conf":
    
    ::
    
        # CentOS
        [Service]
        EnvironmentFile=/etc/sysconfig/docker
        # It's necessary to clear ExecStart before attempting to override it
        # or systemd will complain that it is defined more than once.
        ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker daemon -H fd:// $other_args
    
    And restart docker by executing the following commands:
    
    ::
    
        # CentOS
        systemctl daemon-reload
        systemctl stop docker
        systemctl start docker
    
        # Ubuntu
        sudo service docker restart
    
    Edit the Inventory File
    
    =======================
    
    
    The ansible inventory file contains all the information needed to determine
    what services will land on which hosts.  Edit the inventory file in the kolla
    directory ansible/inventory/multinode or if kolla was installed with pip, it
    can be found in /usr/share/kolla.
    
    Add the ip addresses or hostnames to a group and the services associated with
    that group will land on that host:
    
    ::
    
       # These initial groups are the only groups required to be modified. The
       # additional groups are for more control of the environment.
       [control]
       # These hostname must be resolvable from your deployment host
       control01
       192.168.122.24
    
    
    For more advanced roles, the operator can edit which services will be associated
    in with each group.  Keep in mind that some services have to be grouped together
    and changing these around can break your deployment:
    
    ::
    
       [kibana:children]
       control
    
       [elasticsearch:children]
       control
    
       [haproxy:children]
       network
    
    Deploying Kolla
    
    
    First, check that the deployment targets are in a state where Kolla may deploy
    to them:
    
    ::
    
        kolla-ansible prechecks -i <path/to/multinode/inventory/file>
    
    
    For additional environment setup see the :ref:`deploying-kolla`.
    
    
    Run the deployment:
    
    ::
    
        kolla-ansible deploy -i <path/to/multinode/inventory/file>
