Gandalf
=======
To enable application deployment using git, tsuru uses Gandalf to manage Git repositories
used to push applications to. It's also responsible for setting hooks in these repositories
which will notify the tsuru API when a new deploy is made. For more details
check `Gandalf Documentation `_
.. note::
Gandalf is only required if you want to be able to deploy using ``git push``,
without it you can still deploy applications using ``tsuru app-deploy``.
Gandalf will store and manage all Git repositories and SSH keys, as well as
users. When user runs a ``git push``, the communication happens directly between the
user host and the Gandalf host, and Gandalf will notify tsuru the new
deployment using a git hook.
++++++++++
Installing
++++++++++
Let's start adding the repositories for tsuru which contain the Gandalf package.
deb:
.. highlight:: bash
::
$ curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/tsuru/stable/script.deb.sh | sudo bash
$ sudo apt-get install gandalf-server
rpm:
.. highlight:: bash
::
$ curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/tsuru/stable/script.rpm.sh | sudo bash
$ sudo yum install gandalf-server
For more details, check `packagecloud.io documentation
`_.
A deploy is executed in the ``git push``. In order to get it working, you will
need to add a pre-receive hook. tsuru comes with three pre-receive hooks, all
of them need further configuration:
* s3cmd: uses `Amazon S3 `_ to store and serve
archives
* archive-server: uses tsuru's `archive-server
`_ to store and serve archives
* swift: uses `Swift `_ to store and serve
archives (compatible with `Rackspace Cloud Files
`_)
In this documentation, we will use archive-server, but you can use anything that
can store a git archive and serve it via HTTP or FTP. You can install archive-server via apt-get too:
.. highlight:: bash
::
sudo apt-get install archive-server
Then you will need to configure Gandalf, install the pre-receive hook, set the
proper environment variables and start Gandalf and the archive-server, please note
that you should replace the value ```` with your machine public
address:
.. highlight:: bash
::
sudo mkdir -p /home/git/bare-template/hooks
sudo curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tsuru/tsuru/master/misc/git-hooks/pre-receive.archive-server -o /home/git/bare-template/hooks/pre-receive
sudo chmod +x /home/git/bare-template/hooks/pre-receive
sudo chown -R git:git /home/git/bare-template
cat | sudo tee -a /home/git/.bash_profile <:3232 ARCHIVE_SERVER_WRITE=http://127.0.0.1:3131
EOF
In the ``/etc/gandalf.conf`` file, remove the comment from the line "template:
/home/git/bare-template" and from the line "database", so it looks like that:
.. highlight:: yaml
::
database:
url: :27017
name: gandalf
git:
bare:
location: /var/lib/gandalf/repositories
template: /home/git/bare-template
Then start gandalf and archive-server:
.. highlight:: bash
::
sudo start gandalf-server
sudo start archive-server

Configuring tsuru to use Gandalf
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In order to use Gandalf, you need to change tsuru.conf accordingly:
#. Define "repo-manager" to use "gandalf";
#. Define "git:api-server" to point to the API of the Gandalf server
(example: "http://localhost:8000");
For more details, please refer to the :doc:`configuration page
`.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Token for authentication with tsuru API
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
There is one last step in configuring Gandalf. It involves generating an access
token so that the hook we created can access the tsuru API. To do so, we need to export t
wo extra environment variables to the git user, which will run our deploy hooks, the URL
to our API server and a generated token.
First step is to generate a token in the machine where the API server is installed:
.. highlight:: bash
::
$ tsurud token
fed1000d6c05019f6550b20dbc3c572996e2c044
Now you have to go back to the machine you installed Gandalf, and run this:
.. highlight:: bash
::
$ cat | sudo tee -a /home/git/.bash_profile <:8080
export TSURU_TOKEN=fed1000d6c05019f6550b20dbc3c572996e2c044
EOF

Adding Gandalf to an already existing tsuru cluster
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In the case of an old tsuru cluster running without Gandalf, users and
applications registered in tsuru won't be available in the newly created
Gandalf server, or both servers may be out-of-sync.
When Gandalf is enabled, administrators of the cloud can run the ``tsurud
gandalf-sync`` command.
++++++++++++++++++++++++
Managing SSH public keys
++++++++++++++++++++++++
In order to be able to send git pushes to the Git server :doc:`users need to have
their key registered in Gandalf`.
