Hard Coded paths to openstack-heat-triple-o-heat-templates
Last modified: 2015-08-05 09:58:28 EDT
Hi, So I've been attempting to experiment with some customisation of deployments by utilising the tripleo heat templates and modifying the post deployment to include some extra setup I want done to my nodes (in this case, deploying some monitoring and logging agents onto the machines) I was very silly and niavely assuming that I could take a copy of openstack-tripleo-heat-templates into my local dir, and run overcloud deploy like openstack overcloud deploy --use-tripleo-heat-templates --tripleo-root /home/stack/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates And it would utilise the copy I had taken with all my modifications. So when this didn't work (it deployed without my changes) I was very confused and had a look in the code. It seems that tripleo-root defaults to /etc/tripleo Which contains 5 files which I for the life of my can not make heads or tails of what they actually do. Likewise, looking at the code to see how I can make the unified cli use my local copy of openstack-triple-o-heat-templates I see TRIPLEO_HEAT_TEMPLATES = "/usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/" OVERCLOUD_YAML_PATH = os.path.join(TRIPLEO_HEAT_TEMPLATES, "overcloud-without-mergepy.yaml") They are hardcoded. Can we please have these not hard coded, and configured with a command line switch (e.g. --tripleo-heat-templates-root) Thanks, Graeme
J, would you mind updating this with doc'd steps?

I'm not sure why this went to jdob rather than akrivoka. This would be a very simple change in the CLI, it has always been planned but nobody had quite gotten around to it.
Would it make sense for us to change --use-tripleo-heat-templates to --templates and require users pass in the directory? i.e. --templates=/usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/ A bit annoying if you don't want to change anything, but it is for advanced users... and then it shows them where to grab a copy
We could easily do the suggestion in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1240101#c7 by adding a new --templates and leaving --use-tripleo-heat-templates as it is.

Patch midstream: https://review.gerrithub.io/#/c/239444/ After some discussion we went for a --template-root argument.
After some discussions and an issue with the first patch, a second one has been added. https://review.gerrithub.io/239646
