## Instructions on using an isolated node
|
||||
|
||||
The building of the isolated node is done in the `make docker-compose-build`
|
||||
target. Its image uses a different tag from the tools_tower container.
|
||||
|
||||
Given that the images are built, you can run the combined docker compose target. This uses
|
||||
the base `docker-compose.yml` with modifications found in `docker-isolated-override.yml`.
|
||||
You will still need to give COMPOSE_TAG with whatever your intended
|
||||
base branch is. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
make docker-isolated COMPOSE_TAG=devel
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will automatically exchange the keys in order for the `tools_tower_1`
|
||||
container to access the `tools_isolated_1` container over ssh.
|
||||
After that, it will bring up all the containers like the normal docker-compose
|
||||
workflow.
|
||||
|
||||
### Running a job on the Isolated Node
|
||||
|
||||
Create a job template that runs normally. Add the id of the instance
|
||||
group named `thepentagon` to the JT's instance groups. To do this, POST
|
||||
the id (probably id=2) to `/api/v2/job_templates/N/instance_groups/`.
|
||||
After that, run the job template.
|
||||
|
||||
The models are automatically created when running the Makefile target,
|
||||
and they are structured as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
+-------+ +-------------+
|
||||
| tower |<----+ thepentagon |
|
||||
+-------+ +-------------+
|
||||
^ ^
|
||||
| |
|
||||
| |
|
||||
+---+---+ +-----+----+
|
||||
| tower | | isolated |
|
||||
+-------+ +----------+
|
||||
|
||||
The `controller` for the group "thepentagon" and all hosts therein is
|
||||
determined by a ForeignKey within the instance group.
|
||||
|
||||
## Development Testing Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Test the SSH connection between containers
|
||||
|
||||
While the environment is running, you can test the connection like so:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker exec -i -t tools_tower_1 /bin/bash
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Inside the context of that container:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ssh root@isolated
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
(note: awx user has been deprecated)
|
||||
|
||||
This should give a shell to the `tools_isolated_1` container, as the
|
||||
`tools_tower_1` container sees it.
|
||||
|
||||
### Start the playbook service
|
||||
|
||||
The following command would run the playbook for job 57.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
systemctl start playbook@57.service
|
||||
```
