Installation
************
Host Installation
=================
Prepare Host
------------
This sets the host up with the standard OpenStack system
administration configuration. Skip this if you're not setting up a
host for use by the OpenStack project.
.. code-block:: bash
sudo apt-get install puppet git openjdk-6-jre-headless mysql-server
git clone git://github.com/openstack/openstack-ci-puppet.git
cd openstack-ci-puppet/
sudo puppet apply --modulepath=modules manifests/site.pp
Install MySQL
-------------
You should setup MySQL as follows, changing 'secret' to a suitable password:
.. code-block:: bash
mysql -u root -p
.. code-block:: mysql
CREATE USER 'gerrit2'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'secret';
CREATE DATABASE reviewdb;
ALTER DATABASE reviewdb charset=latin1;
GRANT ALL ON reviewdb.* TO 'gerrit2'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Then create the gerrit2 system user as follows:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo useradd -mr gerrit2
sudo chsh gerrit2 -s /bin/bash
sudo su - gerrit2
With Gerrit 2.2.2 onwards edit /etc/mysql/my.cnf with the following:
.. code-block:: ini
[mysqld]
default-storage-engine=INNODB
Install Gerrit
--------------
Note that Openstack's gerrit installation currently uses a custom .war of gerrit
2.2.2. The following instruction is for the generic gerrit binaries:
.. code-block:: bash
wget http://gerrit.googlecode.com/files/gerrit-2.2.1.war
mv gerrit-2.2.1.war gerrit.war
java -jar gerrit.war init -d review_site
The .war file will bring up an interactive tool to change the settings, these
should be set as follows. Note that the password configured earlier for MySQL
should be provided when prompted::

Configure Gerrit
----------------
The file /home/gerrit2/review_site/etc/gerrit.config will be setup automatically
by puppet.
Set Gerrit to start on boot:
.. code-block:: bash
ln -snf /home/gerrit2/review_site/bin/gerrit.sh /etc/init.d/gerrit
update-rc.d gerrit defaults 90 10
Then create the file ``/etc/default/gerritcodereview`` with the following
contents:
.. code-block:: ini
GERRIT_SITE=/home/gerrit2/review_site
Add "Approved" review type to gerrit:
.. code-block:: mysql
mysql -u root -p
use reviewdb;
insert into approval_categories values ('Approved', 'A', 2, 'MaxNoBlock', 'N', 'APRV');
insert into approval_category_values values ('No score', 'APRV', 0);
insert into approval_category_values values ('Approved', 'APRV', 1);
update approval_category_values set name = "Looks good to me (core reviewer)" where name="Looks good to me, approved";
Expand "Verified" review type to -2/+2:
.. code-block:: mysql
mysql -u root -p
use reviewdb;
update approval_category_values set value=2
where value=1 and category_id='VRIF';
update approval_category_values set value=-2
where value=-1 and category_id='VRIF';
insert into approval_category_values values
("Doesn't seem to work","VRIF",-1),
("Works for me","VRIF","1");
Reword the default messages that use the word Submit, as they imply that
we're not happy with people for submitting the patch in the first place:
.. code-block:: mysql
mysql -u root -p
use reviewdb;
update approval_category_values set name="Do not merge"
where category_id='CRVW' and value=-2;
update approval_category_values
set name="I would prefer that you didn't merge this"
where category_id='CRVW' and value=-1;
OpenStack currently uses a hybrid approach for CLA enforcement. We
use Gerrit's built in CLA system to ensure that contributors have
signed the CLA, but contributors don't actually use Gerrit to sign it.
Instead, developers use an external service (Echosign) to agree to the
CLA, and then request membership in a Launchpad group called
"openstack-cla". The moderators of that group (core members of any
OpenStack project) approve membership requests after verifying that
new contributors have signed the CLA at Echosign. The openstack-cla
group is kept synchronized with Gerrit. Gerrit is then configured
with a "dummy" CLA (which users are not expected to see), and the
administrator indicates to Gerrit that the entire openstack-cla group
has agreed to the CLA. This lets Gerrit enforce that the CLA has been
signed while the actual facility to sign it in Gerrit is disabled via
a source patch.
This configuration is not recommended for new projects and is merely
an artifact of legal requirements placed on the OpenStack project.
Here are the SQL commands to set it up:
.. code-block:: mysql
insert into contributor_agreement_id values (NULL);
insert into contributor_agreements values ('Y', 'N', 'N', 'CLA (Echosign)',
'OpenStack CLA via Echosign', 'static/echosign-cla.html', 1);
insert into account_group_agreements values (
now(), 'V', 1, now(), NULL,
(select group_id from account_group_names where name='openstack-cla'),
1);

GitHub Setup
============
Generate an SSH key for Gerrit for use on GitHub
------------------------------------------------
::
sudo su - gerrit2
gerrit2@gerrit:~$ ssh-keygen
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/gerrit2/.ssh/id_rsa):
Created directory '/home/gerrit2/.ssh'.
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
GitHub Configuration
--------------------
#. create openstack-gerrit user on github
#. add gerrit2 ssh public key to openstack-gerrit user
#. create gerrit team in openstack org on github with push/pull access
#. add openstack-gerrit to gerrit team in openstack org
#. add public master repo to gerrit team in openstack org
#. save github host key in known_hosts
::
gerrit2@gerrit:~$ ssh git@github.com
The authenticity of host 'github.com (207.97.227.239)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 16:27:ac:a5:76:28:2d:36:63:1b:56:4d:eb:df:a6:48.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added 'github.com,207.97.227.239' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
PTY allocation request failed on channel 0
You will also need to create the file ``github.secure.config`` in the gerrit2 user's home directory. The contents of this are as follows:
.. code-block:: ini
[github]
username = guthub-user
api_token = hexstring
The username should be the github username for gerrit to use when communicating
with github. The api_token can be found in github's account setting for the
account.
Gerrit Replication to GitHub
----------------------------
The file ``review_site/etc/replication.config`` is needed with the following
contents:
.. code-block:: ini
[remote "github"]
url = git@github.com:${name}.git
Jenkins / Gerrit Integration
============================
Create a Jenkins User in Gerrit
-------------------------------
With the jenkins public key, as a gerrit admin user::
cat jenkins.pub | ssh -p29418 review.openstack.org gerrit create-account --ssh-key - --full-name Jenkins jenkins
Create "CI Systems" group in gerrit, make jenkins a member
Create a Gerrit Git Prep Job in Jenkins
---------------------------------------
When gating trunk with Jenkins, we want to test changes as they will
appear once merged by Gerrit, but the gerrit trigger plugin will, by
default, test them as submitted. If HEAD moves on while the change is
under review, it may end up getting merged with HEAD, and we want to
test the result.
To do that, make sure the "Hudson Template Project plugin" is
installed, then set up a new job called "Gerrit Git Prep", and add a
shell command build step (no other configuration)::
#!/bin/sh -x
git checkout $GERRIT_BRANCH
git reset --hard remotes/origin/$GERRIT_BRANCH
git merge FETCH_HEAD
CODE=$?
if [ ${CODE} -ne 0 ]; then
git reset --hard remotes/origin/$GERRIT_BRANCH
exit ${CODE}
fi
Later, we will configure Jenkins jobs that we want to behave this way
to use this build step.
Auto Review Expiry
==================
Puppet automatically installs a daily cron job called ``expire_old_reviews.py``
onto the gerrit servers. This script follows two rules:
#. If the review hasn't been touched in 2 weeks, mark as abandoned.
#. If there is a negative review and it hasn't been touched in 1 week, mark as
abandoned.
If your review gets touched by either of these rules it is possible to
unabandon a review on the gerrit web interface.
Launchpad Sync
==============
The launchpad user sync process consists of two scripts which are in
openstack/openstack-ci on github: sync_launchpad_gerrit.py and
insert_gerrit.py.
Both scripts should be run as gerrit2 on review.openstack.org
sync_launchpad_users.py runs and creates a python pickle file, users.pickle,
with all of the user and group information. This is a long process. (12
minutes)
insert_gerrit.py reads the pickle file and applies it to the MySQL database.
The gerrit caches must then be flushed.
Depends
-------
::
apt-get install python-mysqldb python-openid python-launchpadlib
Keys
----
The key for the launchpad sync user is in ~/.ssh/launchpad_rsa. Connecting
to Launchpad requires oauth authentication - so the first time
sync_launchpad_gerrit.py is run, it will display a URL. Open this URL in a
browser and log in to launchpad as the hudson-openstack user. Subsequent
runs will run with cached credentials.
Running
-------
::
cd openstack-ci
git pull
python sync_launchpad_gerrit.py
python insert_gerrit.py
ssh -i /home/gerrit2/.ssh/launchpadsync_rsa -p29418 review.openstack.org gerrit flush-caches
Gerrit IRC Bot
==============
Installation
------------
Ensure there is an up-to-date checkout of openstack-ci in ~gerrit2.
::
apt-get install python-irclib python-daemon
cp ~gerrit2/openstack-ci/gerritbot.init /etc/init.d
chmod a+x /etc/init.d/gerritbot
update-rc.d gerritbot defaults
su - gerrit2
ssh-keygen -f /home/gerrit2/.ssh/gerritbot_rsa
As a Gerrit admin, create a user for gerritbot::
cat ~gerrit2/.ssh/gerritbot_rsa | ssh -p29418 gerrit.openstack.org gerrit create-account --ssh-key - --full-name GerritBot gerritbot
Configure gerritbot, including which events should be announced in the
gerritbot.config file:
.. code-block:: ini
[ircbot]
nick=NICNAME
pass=PASSWORD
server=irc.freenode.net
channel=openstack-dev
port=6667
[gerrit]
user=gerritbot
key=/home/gerrit2/.ssh/gerritbot_rsa
host=review.openstack.org
port=29418
events=patchset-created, change-merged, x-vrif-minus-1, x-crvw-minus-2
Register an account with NickServ on FreeNode, and put the account and
password in the config file.
::
sudo /etc/init.d/gerritbot start
Launchpad Bug Integration
=========================
In addition to the hyperlinks provided by the regex in gerrit.config,
we use a Gerrit hook to update Launchpad bugs when changes referencing
them are applied.
Installation
------------
Ensure an up-to-date checkout of openstack-ci is in ~gerrit2.
::
apt-get install python-pyme
cp ~gerrit2/gerrit-hooks/change-merged ~gerrit2/review_site/hooks/
Create a GPG and register it with Launchpad::
gerrit2@gerrit:~$ gpg --gen-key

You don't want a passphrase - this is probably a *bad* idea!
I will do it anyway. You can change your passphrase at any time,
using this program with the option "--edit-key".
We need to generate a lot of random bytes. It is a good idea to perform
some other action (type on the keyboard, move the mouse, utilize the
disks) during the prime generation; this gives the random number
generator a better chance to gain enough entropy.

Adding New Projects
*******************
Creating a Project in Gerrit
============================
Using ssh key of a gerrit admin (you)::
ssh -p 29418 review.openstack.org gerrit create-project --name openstack/PROJECT
If the project is an API project (eg, image-api), we want it to share
some extra permissions that are common to all API projects (eg, the
OpenStack documentation coordinators can approve changes, see
:ref:`acl`). Run the following command to reparent the project if it
is an API project::
ssh -p 29418 gerrit.openstack.org gerrit set-project-parent --parent API-Projects openstack/PROJECT
Add yourself to the "Project Bootstrappers" group in Gerrit which will
give you permissions to push to the repo bypassing code review.
Do the initial push of the project with::
git push ssh://USERNAME@review.openstack.org:29418/openstack/PROJECT.git HEAD:refs/heads/master
git push --tags ssh://USERNAME@review.openstack.org:29418/openstack/PROJECT.git
Remove yourself from the "Project Bootstrappers" group, and then set
the access controls as specified in :ref:`acl`.
Have Jenkins Monitor a Gerrit Project
=====================================
In jenkins, under source code management:
* select git
* url: ssh://jenkins@review.openstack.org:29418/openstack/project.git
* click "advanced"
* refspec: $GERRIT_REFSPEC
* branches: origin/$GERRIT_BRANCH
* click "advanced"
* choosing stragety: gerrit trigger
* select gerrit event under build triggers:
* Trigger on Comment Added
* Approval Category: APRV
* Approval Value: 1
* plain openstack/project
* path **
* Select "Add build step" under "Build"
* select "Use builders from another project"
* Template Project: "Gerrit Git Prep"
* make sure this build step is the first in the sequence
Create a Project in GitHub
==========================
As a github openstack admin:
* Visit https://github.com/organizations/openstack
* Click New Repository
* Visit the gerrit team admin page
* Add the new repository to the gerrit team
Pull requests can not be disabled for a project in Github, so instead
we have a script that runs from cron to close any open pull requests
with instructions to use Gerrit.
* Edit openstack/openstack-ci-puppet:manifests/site.pp
and add the project to the list of github projects in the gerrit class
for the gerrit.openstack.org node.
Migrating a Project from bzr
============================
Add the bzr PPA and install bzr-fastimport:
add-apt-repository ppa:bzr/ppa
apt-get update
apt-get install bzr-fastimport
Doing this from the bzr PPA is important to ensure at least version 0.10 of
bzr-fastimport.
Clone the git-bzr-ng from termie:
git clone https://github.com/termie/git-bzr-ng.git
In git-bzr-ng, you'll find a script, git-bzr. Put it somewhere in your path.
Then, to get a git repo which contains the migrated bzr branch, run:
git bzr clone lp:${BRANCHNAME} ${LOCATION}
So, for instance, to do glance, you would do:
git bzr clone lp:glance glance
And you will then have a git repo of glance in the glance dir. This git repo
is now suitable for uploading in to gerrit to become the new master repo.
Project Config
==============
There are a few options which need to be enabled on the project in the Admin
interface.
* Merge Strategy should be set to "Merge If Necessary"
* "Automatically resolve conflicts" should be enabled
* "Require Change-Id in commit message" should be enabled
* "Require a valid contributor agreement to upload" should be enabled
Optionally, if the PTL agrees to it:
* "Require the first line of the commit to be 50 characters or less" should
be enabled.
.. _acl:
Access Controls
***************
High level goals:
#. Anonymous users can read all projects.
#. All registered users can perform informational code review (+/-1)
on any project.
#. Jenkins can perform verification (blocking or approving: +/-1).
#. All registered users can create changes.
#. The OpenStack Release Manager and Jenkins can tag releases (push
annotated tags).
#. Members of $PROJECT-core group can perform full code review
(blocking or approving: +/- 2), and submit changes to be merged.
#. Members of openstack-release (Release Manager and PTLs), and
$PROJECT-drivers (PTL and release minded people) exclusively can
perform full code review (blocking or approving: +/- 2), and submit
changes to be merged on milestone-proposed branches.
#. Full code review (+/- 2) of API projects should be available to the
-core group of the corresponding implementation project as well as to
the OpenStack Documentation Coordinators.
#. Full code review of stable branches should be available to the
-core group of the project as well as the openstack-stable-maint
group.
To manage API project permissions collectively across projects, API
projects are reparented to the "API-Projects" meta-project instead of
"All-Projects". This causes them to inherit permissions from the
API-Projects project (which, in turn, inherits from All-Projects).
These permissions try to achieve the high level goals::
All Projects (metaproject):

Renaming a Project
******************
Renaming a project is not automated and is disruptive to developers,
so it should be avoided. Allow for an hour of downtime for the
project in question, and about 10 minutes of downtime for all of
Gerrit. All Gerrit changes, merged and open, will carry over, so
in-progress changes do not need to be merged before the move.
To rename a project:
#. Make it inacessible by editing the Access pane. Add a "read" ACL
for "Administrators", and mark it "exclusive". Be sure to save
changes.
#. Update the database::
update account_project_watches
set project_name = "openstack/OLD"
where project_name = "openstack/NEW";
update changes
set dest_project_name = "openstack/OLD"
where dest_project_name = "openstack/NEW";
#. Wait for Jenkins to be idle (or take it offline)
#. Stop Gerrit and move the Git repository::
/etc/init.d/gerrit stop
cd /home/gerrit2/review_site/git/openstack/
mv OLD.git/ NEW.git
/etc/init.d/gerrit start
#. (Bring Jenkins online if need be)
#. Rename the project in GitHub
#. Update Jenkins jobs te reference the new name. Rename the jobs
themselves as appropriate
#. Remove the read access ACL you set in the first step from project
#. Submit a change that updates .gitreview with the new location of the
project
Developers will either need to re-clone a new copy of the repository,
or manually update their remotes.
Deleting a User from Gerrit
***************************
This isn't normally necessary, but if you find that you need to
completely delete an account from Gerrit, here's how:
.. code-block:: mysql
delete from account_agreements where account_id=NNNN;
delete from account_diff_preferences where id=NNNN;
delete from account_external_ids where account_id=NNNN;
delete from account_group_members where account_id=NNNN;
delete from account_group_members_audit where account_id=NNNN;
delete from account_patch_reviews where account_id=NNNN;

Adding A New Project On The Command Line
****************************************
All of the steps involved in adding a new project to Gerrit can be
accomplished via the commandline, with the exception of creating a new repo
on github and adding the jenkins jobs.
First of all, add the .gitreview file to the repo that will be added. Then,
assuming an ssh config alias of `review` for the gerrit instance, as a person
in the Project Bootstrappers group::
ssh review gerrit create-project --name openstack/$PROJECT
git review -s
git push gerrit HEAD:refs/heads/master
git push --tags gerrit
At this point, the branch contents will be in gerrit, and the project config
settings and ACLs need to be set. These are maintained in a special branch
inside of git in gerrit. Check out the branch from git::
git fetch gerrit +refs/meta/*:refs/remotes/gerrit-meta/*
git checkout -b config remotes/gerrit-meta/config
There will be two interesting files, `groups` and `project.config`. `groups`
contains UUIDs and names of groups that will be referenced in
`project.config`. There is a helper script in the openstack-ci repo called
`get_group_uuid.py` which will fetch the UUID for a given group. For
$PROJECT-core and $PROJECT-drivers::
openstack-ci/gerrit/get_group_uuid.py $GROUP_NAME
And make entries in `groups` for each one of them. Next, edit
`project.config` to look like::
[access "refs/*"]
owner = group Administrators
[receive]
requireChangeId = true
requireContributorAgreement = true
[submit]
mergeContent = true
[access "refs/heads/*"]
label-Code-Review = -2..+2 group $PROJECT-core
label-Approved = +0..+1 group $PROJECT-core
[access "refs/heads/milestone-proposed"]
label-Code-Review = -2..+2 group $PROJECT-drivers
label-Approved = +0..+1 group $PROJECT-drivers
Replace $PROJECT with the name of the project.
Finally, commit the changes and push the config back up to Gerrit::
git commit -m "Initial project config"
git push gerrit HEAD:refs/meta/config
