Cloudmesh cmsd

Cloudmesh cmsd is a command to run cloudmesh in a container regardless of the OS. Thus it is extremely easy to install and use in case your machine has docker installed.

cmsd uses the locally installed keys in ~/.ssh and typically cloud configurations stored in ~/.cloudmesh/cloudmesh.yaml. This YAML file is created upon the first call of cmsd if it is not available.

How to use cmsd

Important. You must have cms in debug off mode. to use the cmsd command

$ cms debug off

User installation

Please use a python virtualenv as to not interfere with your system python and activate your python venv.

Linux, osx: 

$ python3.8 -m venv ~/ENV3
$ source ~/ENV3/bin/activate
$ pip install pip -U

In Windows, you can do this with 

$ python -m venv ENV3
$ ENV3\Scripts\activate
$ pip install pip -U

Now you can install cloudmesh cmsd with 

$ pip install cloudmesh-cmsd

Developer Source installation

Developers install cmsd from source with our cloudmesh-installer

Linux, osx: 

$ python3.8 -m venv ~/ENV3
$ source ~/ENV3/bin/activate
$ pip install pip -U
$ mkdir cm   
$ cd cm  
$ pip install cloudmesh-installer -U 
$ cloudmesh-installer git clone cmsd 
$ cloudmesh-installer install cmsd

Windows:

$ python -m venv ENV3
$ ENV3\Scripts\activate
$ pip install pip -U
$ mkdir cm   
$ cd cm  
$ pip install cloudmesh-installer -U 
$ cloudmesh-installer git clone cmsd 
$ cloudmesh-installer install cmsd

You will see in the cm directory a number of cloudmesh related repositories. One of them is cloudmesh-cmsd in which the cmsd command related code is stored. The other repositories contain code that may be used by cloudmesh-cmsd.

Defult setup

To run cmsd, you need a configuration directory that is mounted into the container. The default setup is done with 

$ cmsd --setup

This will set up a number of configurations including a cloudmesh configuration YAML file in

You are asked to enter some details that are required for the setup, such as profile details, Mongo DB credentials.

Custom cmsd setup

In case you need to place the configuration files elsewhere you can specify the location with the environment variable CLOUDMESH_CONFIG_DIR.

For macOS and Linux you set it with:

$ export CLOUDMESH_CONFIG_DIR=<path to CLOUDMESH_HOME_DIR>

For Windows you set it with:

> set CLOUDMESH_CONFIG_DIR=<path to CLOUDMESH_HOME_DIR>

Note: avoid spaces:

CLOUDMESH_CONFIG_DIR path must not have in any spaces in it. For example C:\.cloudmesh will work, so does C:\Users\gregor\.cloudmesh, but not C:\Users\gregor von Laszewski\.cloudmesh, as it includes a space in th eusername.

Note: grant access:

Make sure that the drive of the CLOUDMESH_CONFIG_DIR is granted file access in Docker settings

Next, you run the setup just like in the default case. If you are running setup on an empty CLOUDMESH_CONFIG_DIR, you will be asked to enter some details that are required for the setup, such as profile details, Mongo DB credentials.

$ cmsd --setup

Containers

It the setup installs cloudmesh into two containerscontainers. The containers are called

Run the command

$ cmsd --ps

to see if the containers are running. Additionally, check CLOUDMESH_CONFIG_DIR or ~/.cloudmesh contains the cloudmesh.yaml file, dependent where you asked cmsd to look for it.

Commands

To list the containers, please use

$ cmsd --ps

Run the following to verify if the configurations you entered have been properly reflected in the cloudmesh.yaml file. 

$ cmsd config cat

To initialize the cloudmesh database use

$ cmsd init

To test if things are working use

$ cmsd key list

To stop the containers use

$ cmsd --stop

To start the containers use

$ cmsd --start

To remove the containers use

$ cmsd --clean

To login to the container via a shell use

$ cmsd --shell

Example Usecase - Creating a vm in Chameleon Cloud

To modify the parameters use the command

cmsd --gui quick

and make sure the MongoDB MODE is set to running. This is automatically done by the setup. Make sure you add your username and password, as well as the network id and the project id and name. Test if it works with 

cmsd flavor list --refresh

Example Usecase - Creating a vm in AWS

Create an AWS account and add the authentication information in the CLOUDMESH_HOME_DIR/cloudmesh.yaml file. Please see the Cloudmesh Manual - AWS form more details about AWS.

Set the cloud to aws

$ cmsd set cloud=aws 
$ cmsd key upload --cloud=aws

where the key name is specified by 

cms var key

or

cms config get cloudmesh.profile.user

or

Make sure you have an ssh key generated prior to booting a vm with the default configuration with

$ cmsd vm boot

MongoDB and Mongo client connections

cmsd is running an official MongoDB container from DockerHub.

The Mongo server container is bound to 127.0.0.1:27071. You can use use any Mongo client to explore the database by connecting to this port.

Using cmsd to spawn a mongo container/ service

You can use cmsd to start a mongo container as a service.
