A template that deploys StackStorm onto a single Linux server.

Instructions

Overview

Review the StackStorm Overview to understand the use case for this tool. StackStorm 101 Video.

Quick Start

Review the QuickStart Documentation for help with getting started with StackStorm.

Logging in via SSH

The private key provided in the passwords section can be used to login as root via SSH. We have an article on how to use these keys with Mac OS X and Linux as well as Windows using PuTTY.

Requirements

  • A Heat provider that supports the following:
    • OS::Heat::SwiftSignal
    • OS::Heat::SwiftSignalHandle
    • OS::Nova::KeyPair
    • OS::Nova::Server
  • An OpenStack username, password, and tenant id.
  • python-heatclient >= v0.2.8:
pip install python-heatclient

We recommend installing the client within a Python virtual environment.

Parameters

Parameters can be replaced with your own values when standing up a stack. Use the -P flag to specify a custom parameter.

  • flavor: The size is based on the amount of RAM for the provisioned server. (Default: 1 GB General Purpose v1)
  • image: Server image used for all servers that are created as a part of this deployment (Default: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) (PVHVM))
  • server_name: The instance name (Default: StackStorm)

Outputs

Once a stack comes online, use heat output-list to see all available outputs. Use heat output-show <OUTPUT NAME> to get the value of a specific output.

  • private_key: SSH Private Key
  • server_ip: Server IP
  • server_data: Data from wait condition to report script status

For multi-line values, the response will come in an escaped form. To get rid of the escapes, use echo -e '<STRING>' > file.txt. For vim users, a substitution can be done within a file using %s/\\n/\r/g.
