Edge Connector and Edge GW with one-click.

Pre-Installation Requirements

In order to use the playbooks several preconditions must be fulfilled:

• Time must be configured on all hosts (refer to "Configuring time")

• Hosts for Edge Controller (Kubernetes master) and Edge Nodes (Kubernetes workers) must have proper and unique hostname (not localhost). This hostname must be specified in /etc/hosts (refer to "Setup static hostname").

• Ansible inventory must be configured (refer to "Configuring inventory").

• SSH keys must be exchanged with hosts (refer to "Exchanging SSH keys with hosts").

• Proxy must be configured if needed (refer to "Setting proxy").

• If a private repository is used Github token has to be set up (refer to "GitHub Token").

Configuring time

By default CentOS ships with chrony NTP client. It uses default NTP servers listed below that might not be available in certain networks:

0.centos.pool.ntp.org
1.centos.pool.ntp.org
2.centos.pool.ntp.org
3.centos.pool.ntp.org

OpenNESS requires It is required that the time to shall be synchronized between all of the nodes and controllers to allow for correct certificate verification.

...

In order to set some custom static hostname, a command can be used:

hostnamectl set-hostname <host_name>

...

In order to execute playbooks, inventory.ini must be configure configured to include specific hosts to run the playbooks on.

OpenNESS' The inventory contains three groups: all, edgenode_group, and controller_group:

• all contains all the hosts (with configuration) used in any playbook
• controller_group contains host to be set up as a Kubernetes master / OpenNESS Edge Controller
  WARNING: Since only one Controller is supported, controller_group can contain only 1 host.
• edgenode_group contains hosts to be set up as a Kubernetes workers / OpenNESS Edge NodesGateways.
  NOTE: All nodes will be joined to the master specified in controller_group.

# ssh-keygen

Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/root/.ssh/id_rsa):  <ENTER>
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):  <ENTER>
Enter same passphrase again:  <ENTER>
Your identification has been saved in /root/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
SHA256:vlcKVU8Tj8nxdDXTW6AHdAgqaM/35s2doon76uYpNA0 root@host
The key's randomart image is:
+---[RSA 2048]----+
|          .oo.==*|
|     .   .  o=oB*|
|    o . .  ..o=.=|
|   . oE.  .  ... |

|     . ...oo     |
|      . .*o+.. . |
|       =O==.o.o  |
+----[SHA256]-----+

Then, the generated key must be copied to every host from the inventory. It is done by running ssh-copy-id, e.g.:

...

To run deploy of only Edge Nodes or Edge Controller use deploy_ne.sh nodes and deploy_ne.sh controller respectively.

Developer  Guide and Troubleshooting

Developer Guide

Start by following the page Setting Up Your Development Environment, this covers items such as signing up for a linux foundation account, configuring git, installing gerrit and IDE recommendations.

Clone 5G-MEC-CLOUD-GAMING Code

Visit https://gerrit.akraino.org/r/admin/repos/5g-mec-cloud-gaming to obtain the git clone commands. 

Download Submodule

• git submodule update --init --recursive

Setup Environment

Enter the work directory:

• cd ./5g-mec-cloud-gaming

Execute the versify.sh script to set up the build environment:

       versify.sh script first installs Golang and ginkgo，then installs docker and docker-compose.

Golang：

wget https://dl.google.com/go/ go1.13.4.linux-amd64.tar.gz

export GOPATH=$HOME/go

export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin

Ginkgo：

go get github.com/onsi/ginkgo/ginkgo

go get github.com/onsi/gomega/

Docker：

yum install -y yum-utils  device-mapper-persistent-data  lvm2

yum-config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo

yum install -y  docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

Docker-compose：

curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.24.1/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

ln -s /usr/local/bin/docker-compose /usr/bin/docker-compose

Running Playbooks

For convenience, playbooks can be executed by running helper deployment scripts.

NOTE: All nodes provided in the inventory may reboot during the installation.

Convention for the scripts is: action_mode.sh [group]. Following scripts are available for Network Edge mode:

• deploy_ne.sh [ controller | nodes ]

To run deploy of only Edge Nodes or Edge Controller use deploy_ne.sh nodes and deploy_ne.sh controller respectively. 

NOTE: Playbooks for Edge Controller/Kubernetes master must be executed before playbooks for Edge Nodes.

NOTE: Edge Nodes and Edge Controller must be set up on different machines.

Uninstall Guide

The role of cleanup playbook is to revert changes made by deploy playbooks. The convention for the scripts is: action_mode.sh [group].  Following script is available for cleanup:

• cleanup_ne.sh [ controller | nodes]

The teardown is made by going step by step in reverse order and undoing the steps. For example, playbooks for Edge Controller/Kubernetes master must be executed before playbooks for Edge Nodes. During the unistall operation, the cleanup script of Edge Nodes should be executed first, and then run the cleanup script of Edge Controller / Kubernetes master.

Note that there might be some leftovers created by installed software.

Troubleshooting

Proxy issues

For PRC users who have network problems, try the following mirrors.

• Kubernetes

Useful Commands

To display pods deployed in the default namespace:

• kubectl get pods

To display pods running in all namespaces:

• kubectl get pods --all-namespaces

To display status and latest events of deployed pods:

• kubectl describe pod <pod_name> --namespace=<namespace_name>

To get logs of running pods:

• kubectl logs <pod_name> -f --namespace=<namespace_name>

To display the allocatable resources:

• kubectl get node <node_name> -o json | jq '.status.allocatable'

To display node information:

• kubectl describe node <node_name>

To display available images on local machine (from host):
