Description Mike Burns 2015-06-25 00:49:10 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1234652 +++

I'm attempting to use RDO-Manager with all my configuration files/state stored in a subdirectory which is a git repo.

Unfortunately, looking at the instack code it seems it just looks for a bunch of configuration files in the root of a users home directory

e.g. from instack_undercloud/undercloud.py

CONF_PATH = os.path.expanduser('~/undercloud.conf')
# NOTE(bnemec): Deprecated
ANSWERS_PATH = os.path.expanduser('~/instack.answers')
PASSWORD_PATH = os.path.expanduser('~/undercloud-passwords.conf')
LOG_FILE = os.path.expanduser('~/.instack/install-undercloud.log')

It would be good to come up with a framework/model for all configuration files/data for the undercloud (and possibly overcloud), and document that standard and get all the tools to use it.

E.g. evaluate values in order of command line options, local config files, files in /etc, then global defaults (or something similar).

Cheers,

Graeme

i've set this one high priority and put it into ga, but it's not a blocker IMO
