For more information see :ref:`architecture`. There are many different options for customizing Designate, and two of these options have a major impact on the installation process: * The storage backend used (SQLite or MySQL) * The DNS backend used (PowerDNS or BIND9) This guide will walk you through setting up a typical development environment for Designate, using BIND9 as the DNS backend and MySQL as the storage backend. For a more complete discussion on installation & configuration options, please see :ref:`architecture` and :ref:`production-architecture`. For this guide you will need access to an Ubuntu Server (14.04). .. _Development Environment: Development Environment +++++++++++++++++++++++ Installing Designate ==================== .. index:: double: install; designate 1. Install system package dependencies (Ubuntu) :: $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install python-pip python-virtualenv libssl-dev libffi-dev git $ sudo apt-get build-dep python-lxml 2. Clone the Designate repo from GitHub :: $ mkdir openstack $ cd openstack $ git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack/designate.git $ cd designate 3. Setup a virtualenv .. note:: This step is necessary to allow the installation of an up-to-date pip, independent of the version packaged for Ubuntu. it is also useful in isolating the remainder of Designate's dependencies from the rest of the system. :: $ virtualenv .venv $ . .venv/bin/activate 4. Install an up-to-date pip :: $ pip install -U pip 5. Install Designate and its dependencies .. note:: If you run into the error: Installed distribution pbr 1.1.1 conflicts with requirement pbr>=0.6,!=0.7,<1.0, try doing pip install pbr==0.11.0 :: $ pip install -r requirements.txt -r test-requirements.txt $ python setup.py develop 6. Change directories to the etc/designate folder. .. note:: Everything from here on out should take place in or below your designate/etc folder :: $ cd etc/designate 7. Create Designate's config files by copying the sample config files :: $ cp -a rootwrap.conf.sample rootwrap.conf 8. Make the directory for Designate’s log files :: $ mkdir -p ../../log 9. Make the directory for Designate’s state files :: $ mkdir -p ../../state Configuring Designate ====================== .. index:: double: configure; designate Create the designate.conf file :: $ editor designate.conf Copy or mirror the configuration from this sample file here: .. literalinclude:: ../examples/basic-config-sample.conf :language: ini Installing RabbitMQ =================== Install the RabbitMQ package :: $ sudo apt-get install rabbitmq-server Create a user: :: $ sudo rabbitmqctl add_user designate designate Give the user access to the / vhost: :: $ sudo rabbitmqctl set_permissions -p "/" designate ".*" ".*" ".*" Installing MySQL ================ .. index:: double: install; mysql Install the MySQL server package :: $ sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.5 If you do not have MySQL previously installed, you will be prompted to change the root password. By default, the MySQL root password for Designate is "password". You can: * Change the root password to "password" * If you want your own password, edit the designate.conf file and change any instance of "mysql+pymysql://root:password@127.0.0.1/designate?charset=utf8" to "mysql+pymysql://root:YOUR_PASSWORD@127.0.0.1/designate?charset=utf8" You can change your MySQL password anytime with the following command:: $ mysqladmin -u root -p password NEW_PASSWORD Enter password Create the Designate tables :: $ mysql -u root -p Enter password: mysql> CREATE DATABASE `designate` CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci; mysql> CREATE DATABASE `designate_pool_manager` CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci; mysql> exit; Install additional packages :: $ sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev $ pip install pymysql Installing BIND9 ================ .. index:: double: install; bind9 Install the DNS server, BIND9 :: $ sudo apt-get install bind9 Update the BIND9 Configuration :: $ sudo editor /etc/bind/named.conf.options Change the corresponding lines in the config file: :: options { directory "/var/cache/bind"; dnssec-validation auto; auth-nxdomain no; # conform to RFC1035 listen-on-v6 { any; }; allow-new-zones yes; request-ixfr no; recursion no; }; Disable AppArmor for BIND9 :: $ sudo touch /etc/apparmor.d/disable/usr.sbin.named $ sudo service apparmor reload Restart BIND9: :: $ sudo service bind9 restart Create and Import pools.yml File ================================ .. index:: double: install; pools Create the pools.yaml file :: $ editor pools.yaml Copy or mirror the configuration from this sample file here: .. literalinclude:: ../examples/basic-pools-sample.yaml :language: yaml Import the pools.yaml file into Designate :: $ designate-manage pool update --file pools.yaml Initialize & Start the Central Service ====================================== .. index:: double: install; central Sync the Designate database. :: $ designate-manage database sync Start the central service. :: $ designate-central You'll now be seeing the log from the central service. Initialize & Start the API Service ================================== .. index:: double: install; api Open up a new ssh window and log in to your server (or however you’re communicating with your server). :: $ cd openstack/designate If Designate was installed into a virtualenv, make sure your virtualenv is sourced :: $ source .venv/bin/activate Start the API Service :: $ designate-api You’ll now be seeing the log from the API service. Initialize & Start the Pool Manager Service =========================================== .. index:: double: install; pool-manager Open up a new ssh window and log in to your server (or however you’re communicating with your server). :: $ cd openstack/designate If Designate was installed into a virtualenv, make sure your virtualenv is sourced :: $ source .venv/bin/activate Sync the Pool Manager's cache: :: $ designate-manage pool-manager-cache sync Start the pool manager service: :: $ designate-pool-manager You'll now be seeing the log from the Pool Manager service. Initialize & Start the MiniDNS Service ====================================== .. index:: double: install; minidns Open up a new ssh window and log in to your server (or however you’re communicating with your server). :: $ cd openstack/designate If Designate was installed into a virtualenv, make sure your virtualenv is sourced :: $ source .venv/bin/activate Start the minidns service: :: $ designate-mdns You'll now be seeing the log from the MiniDNS service. Exercising the API ================== .. note:: If you have a firewall enabled, make sure to open port 53, as well as Designate's default port (9001). Using a web browser, curl statement, or a REST client, calls can be made to the Designate API using the following format where "api_version" is either v1 or v2 and "command" is any of the commands listed under the corresponding version at :ref:`rest` :: http://IP.Address:9001/api_version/command You can find the IP Address of your server by running :: curl -s checkip.dyndns.org | sed -e 's/.*Current IP Address: //' -e 's/<.*$//' A couple of notes on the API: - Before Domains are created, you must create a server (/v1/servers).
