Standalone Containers based Deployment in TripleO

[Roger]

Description
===========
- [x] This doc is inaccurate in this way: The recommended command for deploying OpenStack standalone does not work.

sudo openstack tripleo deploy \
--templates \
--local-ip=10.10.81.50/24 \
--control-virtual-ip 10.10.81.51 \
-e /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/standalone/standalone-tripleo.yaml \
-r /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/roles/Standalone.yaml \
-e $HOME/containers-prepare-parameters.yaml \
-e $HOME/standalone_parameters.yaml \
--output-dir $HOME \
--standalone

Steps to reproduce
==================

Follow the document exactly as outlined (minor changes for IP addresses in your own env)

Expected result
===============

Successful deploy

Actual result
=============

openstack tripleo deploy: error: argument --standalone-role: expected one argument

Environment
===========

Ceph 8 stream (CentOS-Stream-GenericCloud-8-20220125.1.x86_64.qcow2)

https://trunk.rdoproject.org/centos8/component/tripleo/current/python3-tripleo-repos-0.1.1-0.20220214194848.cbbdde6.el8.noarch.rpm (Zed / latest)

Tested directions both with and without Ceph

- [x] I have a fix to the document that I can paste below including example: input and output.

This command works:

sudo openstack tripleo deploy \
--templates \
--standalone-role Standalone \
--local-ip=10.10.81.50/24 \
--control-virtual-ip 10.10.81.51 \
-e /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/standalone/standalone-tripleo.yaml \
-r /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/roles/Standalone.yaml \
-e $HOME/containers-prepare-parameters.yaml \
-e $HOME/standalone_parameters.yaml \
--output-dir $HOME

(I replaced `--standalone` option with `--standalone-role Standalone`)

[Alex Schultz (alex-schultz)]

--standalone was removed in a previous release. --standalone-role Standalone doens't need to be specified as that's the default. It's throwing an error because --standalone is being matched to --standalone-role by the arg parser.

[Roger (heslop)]

Thanks for the feedback Alex.

I checked the release notes and found the --standalone flag to be deprecated in victoria / python-tripleoclient 13.6.0. [0]

I only tested the current[1] docs for standalone deployments, but wallaby[2] documentation also has the --standalone flag in the deploy command.

Hey Alex, quick question. I'd like to see about creating a merge request, this is my first time through the process. It looks like the bug should be set to 'confirmed' by someone other than the reporter — can you do this?

[yatin (yatinkarel)]

Hi Roger, you can send a review request to fix it. The source is located at https://opendev.org/openstack/tripleo-docs.

[Roger Heslop (rheslop)]

Thank you for the help Yatin! I've submitted the change to the master branch, I'll do the same for Wallaby:
