Notes on trying this

[sebgoa]

1. you need to clone the repo, because the compose file builds images from local configuration.
2. Auth token setup needs work:

Seems like 2 is related to the latest changes in st2. I believe I've fixed that during https://github.com/StackStorm/st2/pull/2560/.

As for 1, if I understand you correctly, you would like me to publish this containers. Eventually, we'll do that when container support will became official for st2. For now I'd like to keep building them locally to simplify development process.

[sebgoa]

@enykeev I understand you on first item.

for the auth issue, when I get to the UI it tells me that the server needs authentication. I need to logout and log back in with admin/123 to get in the UI properly.

[sebgoa]

Now the question is how do I install the chatops pack with my Slack token in this setup ? :)

[sebgoa]

picked up the docs in stackstorm/st2chatops but ran into https://github.com/StackStorm/st2chatops/issues/20

[sebgoa]

getting close, running stackstorm-hubot in container in this st2box setup.

but there is a auth problem

I think it's trying to auth with the API server (right container IP 172.17.0.5) but the creds admin/123 that I put in the st2chatops.env file don't seem to do the trick.

[sebgoa]

ok so clearly, it needs to be linked with the nginx container...

[sebgoa]

FWIW, you get the user token on the auth container (not the api one, like I tried at first):

$ docker exec -ti st2box_auth_1 st2 auth admin -p 123
+----------+----------------------------------+
| Property | Value                            |

| expiry   | 2016-03-08T14:43:15.566807Z      |
+----------+----------------------------------+

but I am thinking this token needs to be set as ST2_AUTH_TOKEN in the API container...??

[sebgoa]

so it seems to be a problem with the actionrunner container trying to reach the api on 0.0.0.0:9101

If I run a proxy on this actionrunner container it seems to work better:

root@4186d3cf01d0:/# socat TCP-LISTEN:9101,fork TCP:api:9101

[enykeev]

I dug a little bit and found out that the problem you had with !pack info resulting in

raise ConnectionError(e, request=request)\nrequests.exceptions.ConnectionError: HTTPConnectionPool(host='0.0.0.0', port=9101)

was related not to the packs pack but rather chatops pack that's responsible for formatting the results of the execution to output it back to chat. It seems like you could change https://github.com/StackStorm/st2/blob/master/conf/st2.prod.conf#L39 config variable to point it to http://api:9101/ instead of http://0.0.0.0:9101/. I haven't tried it myself and yet to see how changing the config for all containers might affect st2 operation, but it looks promising.

In the mean time, if you don't want to mess around with config just yet and explore the consequences of the change "the hard way", socat seems like an awesome workaround. I'll get back to the issue after we finish up with packages. Beginning next week, hopefully.

[sebgoa]

the socat hack gets things working partially.

• !pack deploy does not work

If I install a pack via the UI then:

• !pack info works fine

Also chatops, has a strange behavior:

• chatops.post_result works fine but
• chatops.post_message from the UI fails

[sebgoa]

I am going to keep logging my experience here :)

It seems that the chatops.post_result that succeed are executed from user stanley.

But the admin user that gets created and has access to the UI is not permitted to use chatops.post_message...

something to check

[sebgoa]

mistral and announcement runner don't seem to work in this setup (even with a modified st2.conf in the data container).

however the modified st2.conf gives the same result than the hack with socat

[enykeev]

If it's not too big of a hassle, I'd ask you to attach some bits of logs so we can later figure out say what was the problem with !pack deploy not working or why do you think post_message is affected by the user that runs it.

[sebgoa]

@enykeev here is the logs of action runner when trying to execute a chatops.post_message from the UI

The beginning of the logs show a successful chatops.post_result after doing

!st2 list actions

from the Slack channel.
