[Rdo-list] Using tmux to do an OpenStack demo
by Kashyap Chamarthy
Heya,
Just a little while ago, I did an internal demo of a small aspect of
OpenStack over a shared terminal using 'tmux' (inspirited by a colleague).
Just posting here the details of how/what I did, in-case someone wants to try
something similar. It went fairly well as everything just worked :-)
Due to time limitation, we discussed three aspects. Pre-requisite: An existing set-up:
[1] Flow of a VM
[2] Boot from Snapshot
[3] Neutron Tenant Network Creation/Boot a guest from this new Tenant
Here's the commands (attached here for reference):
http://kashyapc.fedorapeople.org/virt/openstack/openstack-demo-commands.txt
And, these were my Neutron configs on both Controller/Compute nodes:
http://kashyapc.fedorapeople.org/virt/openstack/neutron-configs-GRE-OVS-t...
Setup details:
==============
It's a two node OpenStack RDO set-up configured manually on two
Fedora 20 VMs (running Nested KVM on Intel).
- Controller node: Nova, Keystone, Cinder, Glance, Neutron (using Open
vSwitch plugin and GRE tunneling).
- Compute node: Nova (nova-compute), Neutron (openvswitch-agent)
Setting up [*] tmux for a shared read-only session:
===================================================
--------
$ useradd demo-ostk
$ passwd demo-ostk
$ yum install tmux -y
$ tmux -S /var/tmp/demo-ostk
$ chmod 777 /var/tmp/demo-ostk
$ cat /home/demo-ostk/run-tmux
#!/bin/sh -
exec /usr/bin/tmux -S /var/tmp/demo-ostk attach -r
$
$ grep demo-ostk /etc/passwd
demo-ostk:x:1001:1001::/home/demo-ostk:/home/demo-ostk/run-tmux
$
$ chown root.root /home/demo-ostk/run-tmux
$ chmod 0555 /home/demo-ostk/run-tmux
$ chcon system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0 /home/demo-ostk/run-tmux
--------
That's all. Ask your participants to login via the demo user & the read-only
session will be presented:
$ ssh demo-ostk@IP
Caveat:
======
tmux resizes the window to the smallest client (even you're read-only).
This is annoying. If you end up doing it inadvertently, you can your participant
to undo it, it'll be back to normal on the controlling end.
(This is possible by using this setting in tmux.conf -- 'setw -g aggressive-resize on'.)
Thanks to Lars Kellog-Stedman for this tip.

[Rdo-list] [Rdo-newsletter] RDO Community Newsletter: December 2013
by Rich Bowen
Thanks for being a part of the RDO community! This is an important
newsletter, as there are some changes coming to the RDO website that
you'll want to know about.
*ask.rdoproject.org*
The Q&A aspects of our forum have now moved to ask.openstack.org,
using the #RDO tag to distinguish content that is RDO-specific. The
url ask.rdoproject.org is simply a handy redirect to
ask.openstack.org showing all questions that are for RDO.
The advantages of this move are many, including engaging a larger
community of experts, and getting many of the features in the forum
which a number of you have expressed frustration about.
The transition period is likely to be a little rocky, and we want to
ensure that your questions which you've already asked here are not
abandoned in the move. There's a few things that you can do to help
out, if you're one of the people who have unanswered questions
pending at the time of the move.
1) If you want to post a new question, post it at
https://ask.openstack.org/en/questions/ask/?tags=rdo If you don't
already have an ask.openstack.org account, go ahead and create one.
a.o.o accepts OAuth logins, so you can use your Google account, or
LaunchPad, or a variety of other OAuth sources.
2) If you want to see the RDO questions that are already on
ask.openstack, you can see them at http://ask.rdoproject.org/ We're
also working on pulling a feed of those questions over to the RDO
site, to make it easier to pick out the RDO-specific conversations.
3) If you already have a question that you've posted to the RDO
forum, and it's not answered yet, you might want to move it over to
ask.openstack.org where it can get more eyes on it. If you do so,
please add [MOVED to a.o.o] in the subject line here, so that we know
to go look there. You could also add the URL of the new location in
the message itself.
4) If you're a frequent poster on ask.openstack and wish to identify
yourself as part of the RDO community, consider adding the RDO logo
to your avatar, like Lars:
https://ask.openstack.org/en/users/1745/larsks/
*Keep In Touch*
Although the forum is already seeing less traffic, we still want to
stay in touch. There are several different ways to do this.

[Rdo-list] Feedback - it isn't obvious to everyone that RDO works on CentOS
by Matthew Farrellee
This is just an FYI, do with it what you will.
In the Savanna community, I've had to field the question "Can I use RDO
w/o a Red Hat license?" a handful of times now.
The answer is obvious to me and likely everyone else on the rdo-list,
but apparently it isn't to everyone.
BTW, it looks like google "openstack + (fedora|centos|scientific linux)"
returns an ad for RDO, so +1 there.
Best,
matt
