Configure ACRN using OpenStack and libvirt
##########################################

Introduction
************

This document provides instructions for setting up libvirt to configure
ACRN. We use OpenStack to use libvirt and we'll install OpenStack in a container
to avoid crashing your system and to take advantage of easy
snapshots/restores so that you can quickly roll back your system in the
event of setup failure. (You should only install OpenStack directly on Ubuntu if
you have a dedicated testing machine.) This setup utilizes LXC/LXD on
Ubuntu 16.04 or 18.04.

Install ACRN
************

#. Install ACRN using Ubuntu 16.04 or 18.04 as its Service VM.

   .. important:: Need instructions from deleted document (using Ubuntu
      as SOS)

#. Make the acrn-kernel using the `kernel_config_uefi_sos
   <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/projectacrn/acrn-kernel/master/kernel_config_uefi_sos>`_
   configuration file (from the ``acrn-kernel`` repo).

#. Add the following kernel boot arg to give the Service VM  more loop
   devices. Refer to `Kernel Boot Parameters
   <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBootParameters>`_ documentation::

      max_loop=16

#. Boot the Service VM with this new ``acrn-kernel`` using the ACRN
   hypervisor.
#. Use the command: ``losetup -a`` to verify that Ubuntu's snap service is **not**
   using all available loop devices. Typically, OpenStack needs at least 4
   available loop devices. Follow the `snaps guide
   <https://maslosoft.com/kb/how-to-clean-old-snaps/>`_ to clean up old
   snap revisions if you're running out of loop devices.
#. Make sure the networking bridge ``acrn-br0`` is created. If not,
   create it using the instructions in XXX.

      as SOS)

Set up and launch LXC/LXD
*************************

1. Set up the LXC/LXD Linux container engine using these `instructions
   <https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/tutorial-setting-up-lxd-1604>`_ provided
   by Ubuntu (for release 16.04).

   Refer to the following additional information for the setup
   procedure:

   - Disregard ZFS utils (we're not going to use the ZFS storage
     backend).
   - Answer ``dir`` (and not ``zfs``) when prompted for the name of the storage backend to use.
   - Set up ``lxdbr0`` as instructed.
   - Before launching a container, make sure ``lxc-checkconfig | grep missing`` does not show any missing
     kernel features.

2. Create an Ubuntu 18.04 container named ``openstack``::

     $ lxc init ubuntu:18.04 openstack

3. Export the kernel interfaces necessary to launch a Service VM in the
   ``openstack`` container:

   a. Edit the ``openstack`` config file using the command::

        $ lxc config edit openstack

      In the editor, add the following lines under **config**:

      .. code-block:: none

         linux.kernel_modules: iptable_nat, ip6table_nat, ebtables, openvswitch
         raw.lxc: |-
           lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 10:237 rwm
           lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = b 7:* rwm
           lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 243:0 rwm
           lxc.mount.entry = /dev/net/tun dev/net/tun none bind,create=file 0 0
           lxc.mount.auto=proc:rw sys:rw cgroup:rw
         security.nesting: "true"
         security.privileged: "true"

      Save and exit the editor.

   b. Run the following commands to configure ``openstack``::

         $ lxc config device add openstack eth1 nic name=eth1 nictype=bridged parent=acrn-br0
         $ lxc config device add openstack acrn_vhm unix-char path=/dev/acrn_vhm
         $ lxc config device add openstack loop-control unix-char path=/dev/loop-control
         $ for n in {0..15}; do lxc config device add openstack loop$n unix-block path=/dev/loop$n; done;

4. Launch the ``openstack`` container::

     $ lxc start openstack

5. Log in to the ``openstack`` container::

     $ lxc exec openstack -- su -l

6. Let ``systemd`` manage **eth1** in the container, with **eth0** as the
   default route:

   Edit ``/etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml``

   .. code-block:: none

      network:
          version: 2
          ethernets:
              eth0:
                  dhcp4: true
              eth1:
                  dhcp4: true
                  dhcp4-overrides:
                      route-metric: 200


7. Log off and restart the ``openstack`` container::

     $ lxc restart openstack

8. Log in to the ``openstack`` container again::

     $ xc exec openstack -- su -l

9. If needed, set up the proxy inside the ``openstack`` container via
   ``/etc/environment`` and make sure ``no_proxy`` is properly set up.
   Both IP addresses assigned to **eth0** and
   **eth1** and their subnets must be included. For example::

     no_proxy=xcompany.com,.xcompany.com,10.0.0.0/8,192.168.0.0/16,localhost,.local,127.0.0.0/8,134.134.0.0/16

10. Add a new user named **stack** and set permissions::

       $ sudo useradd -s /bin/bash -d /opt/stack -m stack
       $ echo "stack ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" >> /etc/sudoers

11. Log off and restart the ``openstack`` container::

      $ lxc restart openstack

The ``openstack`` container is now properly configured for OpenStack.
Use the ``lxc list`` command to verify that both **eth0** and **eth1**
appear in the container.

Set up ACRN prerequisites inside the container
**********************************************

1. Log in to the ``openstack`` container as the **stack** user::

     $ lxc exec openstack -- su -l stack

2. Download and compile ACRN's source code. Refer to :ref:`getting-started-building`.

   .. note::
      All tools and build dependencies must be installed before you run the first ``make`` command.

   .. code-block:: none

      $ git clone https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor
      $ cd acrn-hypervisor
      $ git checkout v1.6.1
      $ make
      $ cd misc/acrn-manager/; make

   Install only the user-space components: ``acrn-dm``, ``acrnctl``, and
   ``acrnd``

3. Download, compile, and install ``iasl``. Refer to XXX.

   .. important:: need instructions from deleted document (using Ubuntu
      as SOS)

Set up libvirt
**************

1. Install the required packages::

     $ sudo apt install libdevmapper-dev libnl-route-3-dev libnl-3-dev python \
       automake autoconf autopoint libtool xsltproc libxml2-utils gettext \
       libxml2-dev libpciaccess-dev


2. Download libvirt/ACRN::

     $ git clone https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-libvirt.git

3. Build and install libvirt::

     $ cd acrn-libvirt
     $ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --disable-werror --with-test-suite=no \
       --with-qemu=no --with-openvz=no --with-vmware=no --with-phyp=no \
       --with-vbox=no --with-lxc=no --with-uml=no --with-esx=no

     $ make
     $ sudo make install

4. Edit and enable these options in ``/etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf``::

     unix_sock_ro_perms = "0777"
     unix_sock_rw_perms = "0777"
     unix_sock_admin_perms = "0777"

5. Restart the libvirt daemon::

     $ sudo systemctl daemon-reload


Set up OpenStack
****************

Use DevStack to install OpenStack. Refer to the `DevStack instructions <https://docs.openstack.org/devstack/>`_.

1. Use the latest maintenance branch **stable/train** to ensure OpenStack
   stability::

     $ git clone https://opendev.org/openstack/devstack.git -b stable/train

2. Go into the ``devstack`` directory, download an ACRN patch from
   :acrn_raw:`doc/tutorials/0001-devstack-installation-for-acrn.patch`,
   and apply it ::

      $ cd devstack
      $ git apply 0001-devstack-installation-for-acrn.patch

3. Edit ``lib/nova_plugins/hypervisor-libvirt``:

   Change ``xen_hvmloader_path`` to the location of your OVMF image
   file. A stock image is included in the ACRN source tree
   (``devicemodel/bios/OVMF.fd``).

4. Create a ``devstack/local.conf`` file as shown below (setting the
   passwords as appropriate):

   .. code-block:: none


      [[local|localrc]]
      PUBLIC_INTERFACE=eth1

      ADMIN_PASSWORD=<password>
      DATABASE_PASSWORD=<password>
      RABBIT_PASSWORD=<password>
      SERVICE_PASSWORD=<password>

      ENABLE_KSM=False
      VIRT_DRIVER=libvirt
      LIBVIRT_TYPE=acrn
      DEBUG_LIBVIRT=True
      DEBUG_LIBVIRT_COREDUMPS=True
      USE_PYTHON3=True

   .. note::
      Now is a great time to take a snapshot of the container using ``lxc
      snapshot``. If the OpenStack installation fails, manually rolling back
      to the previous state can be difficult. Currently, no step exists to
      reliably restart OpenStack after restarting the container.

5. Install OpenStack::

     execute ./stack.sh in devstack/

   The installation should take about 20-30 minutes. Upon successful
   installation, the installer reports the URL of OpenStack's management
   interface. This URL is accessible from the native Ubuntu.

   .. code-block:: console

      ...

      Horizon is now available at http://<IP_address>/dashboard

      ...

      2020-04-09 01:21:37.504 | stack.sh completed in 1755 seconds.

6. Verify using the command ``systemctl status libvirtd.service`` that libvirtd is active
   and running.

7. Set up SNAT for OpenStack instances to connect to the external network.

   a. Inside the container, use the command ``ip a`` to identify the ``br-ex`` bridge
      interface. ``br-ex`` should have two IPs. One should be visible to
      the native Ubuntu's ``acrn-br0`` interface (e.g. iNet 192.168.1.104/24).
      The other one is internal to OpenStack (e.g. iNet 172.24.4.1/24). The
      latter corresponds to the public network in OpenStack.

   b. Set up SNAT to establish a link between ``acrn-br0`` and OpenStack.
      For example::

        $ sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 172.24.4.1/24 -o br-ex -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.1.104

Configure and create OpenStack Instance
***************************************

We'll be using the Clear Linux Cloud Guest as the OS image (qcow2
format). Download the Cloud Guest image from
https://clearlinux.org/downloads and uncompress it, for example::

   $ wget https://cdn.download.clearlinux.org/releases/33110/clear/clear-33110-cloudguest.img.xz
   $ unxz clear-33110-cloudguest.img.xz

This will leave you with the uncompressed OS image
``clear-33110-cloudguest.img`` we'll use later.

Use the OpenStack management interface URL reported in a previous step
to finish setting up the network and configure and create an OpenStack
instance.

1. Begin by using your browser to login as **admin** to the OpenStack management
   dashboard (using the URL reported previously). Use the admin
   password you set in the ``devstack/local.conf`` file:

   .. figure:: images/OpenStack-01-login.png
      :align: center
      :width: 1200px
      :name: os-01-login

   Click on the **Project / Network Topology** and then the **Topology** tab
   to view the existing **public** (external) and **shared** (internal) networks:

   .. figure:: images/OpenStack-02-topology.png
      :align: center
      :width: 1200px
      :name: os-02-topology

#. A **router** acts as a bridge between the internal and external
   networks. Create a router using **Project / Network / Routers /
   +Create Router**:

   .. figure:: images/OpenStack-03-create-router.png
      :align: center
      :width: 1200px
      :name: os-03-router

   Give it a name (**acrn_router**), select **public** for the external network,
   and select create router:

   .. figure:: images/OpenStack-03a-create-router.png
      :align: center
      :width: 1200px
      :name: os-03a-router

   That added the external network to the router.  Now add
   the internal network too. Click on the acrn_router name:

   .. figure:: images/OpenStack-03b-created-router.png
      :align: center
      :width: 1200px
      :name: os-03b-router

   Go to the interfaces tab, and click on **+Add interface**:

   .. figure:: images/OpenStack-04a-add-interface.png
      :align: center
      :width: 1200px
      :name: os-04a-add-interface

   Select the subnet of the shared (private) network and click submit:

   .. figure:: images/OpenStack-04b-add-interface.png
      :align: center
      :width: 1200px
      :name: os-04b-add-interface

   The router now has interfaces between the external and internal
   networks:

   .. figure:: images/OpenStack-04c-add-interface.png
      :align: center
      :width: 1200px
      :name: os-04c-add-interface

   View the router graphically by clicking on the "Network Topology" tab:

   .. figure:: images/OpenStack-05-topology.png
      :align: center
      :width: 1200px
      :name: os-05-topology

   With the router set up, we've completed configuring the OpenStack
   networking.

#. Next, we'll prepare for launching an OpenStack instance.
   Click on the **Admin / Compute/ Image** tab and then the **+Create
   image** button:

   .. figure:: images/OpenStack-06-create-image.png
      :align: center
      :width: 1200px
      :name: os-06-create-image

   Browse for and select the Clear Linux Cloud Guest image file we
   downloaded earlier:

   .. figure:: images/OpenStack-06a-create-image-browse.png
      :align: center
      :width: 1200px
      :name: os-06a-create-image

   .. figure:: images/OpenStack-06b-create-image-select.png
      :align: center
      :width: 1200px
      :name: os-06b-create-image

   Give the image a name (**acrnImage**), select the **QCOW2 - QEMU
   Emulator** format, and click on **Create Image**:

   .. figure:: images/OpenStack-06e-create-image.png
      :align: center
      :width: 1200px
      :name: os-063-create-image

   This will take a few minutes to complete.

#. Next, click on the **Admin / Computer / Flavors** tabs and then the
   **+Create Flavor** button.  This is where you'll define a machine flavor name
   (**acrn4vcpu**), and specify its resource requirements: the number of vCPUs (**4**), RAM size
   (**256MB**), and root disk size (**2GB**):

   .. figure:: images/OpenStack-07a-create-flavor.png
      :align: center
      :width: 1200px
      :name: os-07a-create-flavor

   Click on **Create Flavor** and you'll return to see a list of
   available flavors plus the new one you created (**acrn4vcpu**):

   .. figure:: images/OpenStack-07b-flavor-created.png
      :align: center
      :width: 1200px
      :name: os-07b-create-flavor

#. OpenStack security groups act as a virtual firewall controlling
   connections between instances, allowing connections such as SSH, and
   HTTPS. These next steps create a security group allowing SSH and ICMP
   connections.

   Go to **Project / Network / Security Groups** and click on the **+Create
   Security Group** button:

   .. figure:: images/OpenStack-08-security-group.png
      :align: center
      :width: 1200px
      :name: os-08-security-group

   Name this security group (**acrnSecuGroup**) and click **Create
   Security Group**:

   .. figure:: images/OpenStack-08a-create-security-group.png
      :align: center
      :width: 1200px
      :name: os-08a-security-group

   You'll return to a rule management screen for this new group.  Click
   on the **+Add Rule** button:

   .. figure:: images/OpenStack-08b-add-rule.png
      :align: center
      :width: 1200px
      :name: os-08b-security-group

   Select **SSH** from the Rule list and click **Add**:

   .. figure:: images/OpenStack-08c-add-SSH-rule.png
      :align: center
      :width: 1200px
      :name: os-08c-security-group

   Similarly, add another rule to add a **All ICMP** rule too:

   .. figure:: images/OpenStack-08d-add-All-ICMP-rule.png
      :align: center
      :width: 1200px
      :name: os-08d-security-group

#. Create a public/private keypair used to access the created instance.
   Go to **Project / Compute / Key Pairs** and click on **+Create Key
   Pair**, give the keypair a name (**acrnKeyPair**) and Key Type
   (**SSH Key**) and click on **Create Key Pair**:

   .. figure:: images/OpenStack-09a-create-key-pair.png
      :align: center
      :width: 1200px
      :name: os-09a-key-pair

   You should save the **private** keypair file safely,
   for future use:

   .. figure:: images/OpenStack-09c-key-pair-private-key.png
      :align: center
      :width: 1200px
      :name: os-09c-key-pair

#. Now we're ready to launch an instance.  Go to **Project / Compute /
   Instance**, click on the **Launch Instance** button, give it a name
   (**acrn4vcpuVM**) and click **Next**:

   .. figure:: images/OpenStack-10a-launch-instance-name.png
      :align: center
      :width: 1200px
      :name: os-10a-launch

   Select **No** for "Create New Volume", and click the up-arrow button
   for uploaded (**acrnImage**) image as the "Available source" for this
   instance:

   .. figure:: images/OpenStack-10b-no-new-vol-select-allocated.png
      :align: center
      :width: 1200px
      :name: os-10b-launch

   Click **Next**, and select the machine flavor you created earlier
   (**acrn4vcpu**):

   .. figure:: images/OpenStack-10c-select-flavor.png
      :align: center
      :width: 1200px
      :name: os-10c-launch

   Click on **>** next to the Allocated **acrn4vcpu** flavor and see
   details about your choice:

   .. figure:: images/OpenStack-10d-flavor-selected.png
      :align: center
      :width: 1200px
      :name: os-10d-launch

   Click on the **Networks** tab, and select the internal **shared**
   network from the "Available" list:

   .. figure:: images/OpenStack-10e-select-network.png
      :align: center
      :width: 1200px
      :name: os-10e-launch

   Click on the **Security Groups** tab and select
   the **acrnSecuGroup**  security group you created earlier. Remove the
   **default** security group if it's in the "Allocated" list:

   .. figure:: images/OpenStack-10d-only-acrn-security-group.png
      :align: center
      :width: 1200px
      :name: os-10d-security

   Click on the **Key Pair** tab and verify the **acrnKeyPair** you
   created earlier is in the "Allocated" list, and click on **Launch
   Instance**:

   .. figure:: images/OpenStack-10g-show-keypair-launch.png
      :align: center
      :width: 1200px
      :name: os-10g-launch

   It will take a few minutes to complete launching the instance.

#. Click on the **Project / Compute / Instances** tab to monitor
   progress. When the instance status is "Active" and power state is
   "Running", associate a floating IP to the instance
   so you can access it:

   .. figure:: images/OpenStack-11-wait-for-running-create-snapshot.png
      :align: center
      :width: 1200px
      :name: os-11-running

   On the **Manage Floating IP Associations** screen, click on the **+**
   to add an association:

   .. figure:: images/OpenStack-11a-manage-floating-ip.png
      :align: center
      :width: 1200px
      :name: os-11a-running

   Select **public** pool, and click on **Allocate IP**:

   .. figure:: images/OpenStack-11b-allocate-floating-ip.png
      :align: center
      :width: 1200px
      :name: os-11b-running

   Finally, click **Associate** after the IP address is assigned:

   .. figure:: images/OpenStack-11c-allocate-floating-ip-success-associate.png
      :align: center
      :width: 1200px
      :name: os-11c-running


Final Steps
***********

With that, the OpenStack instance is running and connected to the
network.  You can graphically see this by returning to the **Project /
Network / Network Topology** view:

.. figure:: images/OpenStack-12b-running-topology-instance.png
   :align: center
   :width: 1200px
   :name: os-12b-running

You can also see a hypervisor summary by clicking on **Admin / Compute /
Hypervisors**:

.. figure:: images/OpenStack-12d-compute-hypervisor.png
   :align: center
   :width: 1200px
   :name: os-12d-running

.. note::
   OpenStack logs to the ``systemd`` journal and ``libvirt`` logs to
   ``/var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log``.

Here are some other tasks you can try when the instance is created and
running:

* Use the hypervisor console to verify the instance is running by using
  the ``vm_list`` command.

* Ping the instance inside the container using the instance's floating IP
  address.

* Clear Linux prohibits root SSH login by default. Use libvirt's ``virsh``
  console to configure the instance. Inside the container, using::

     $ sudo virsh -c acrn:///system
     list   #you should see the instance listed as running
     console <instance_name>

  Log in to the Clear Linux instance and set up the root SSH. Refer to
  the Clear Linux instructions on `enabling root login
  <https://docs.01.org/clearlinux/latest/guides/network/openssh-server.html#enable-root-login>`_.

  - If needed, set up the proxy inside the instance.
  - Configure ``systemd-resolved`` to use the correct DNS server.
  - Install ping: ``swupd bundle-add clr-network-troubleshooter``.

   The ACRN instance should now be able to ping ``acrn-br0`` and another
   ACRN instance. It should also be accessible inside the container via SSH
   and its floating IP address.

The ACRN instance can be deleted via the OpenStack management interface.

For more advanced CLI usage, refer to this `OpenStack cheat sheet
<https://docs.openstack.org/ocata/user-guide/cli-cheat-sheet.html>`_.
