使用core-vagrant方式安装CoreOS
CoreOS是一种专门为运行类docker容器而生的linux发行版。与其他通用linux发行版(ubuntu、debian、redhat)相 比,它具有体型最小,消耗最小,支持滚动更新等特点。除此之外CoreOS内置的分布式系统服务组件也给开发者和运维者组建分布式集群、部署分布式服务应 用带来了极大便利。
CoreOS与知名容器Docker脚前脚后诞生,到目前为止已经较为成熟,国外主流云平台提供商如Amazon EC2、Google Compute Engine、Microsoft Azure、Digtial Ocean等均提供了CoreOS image,通过这些服务,你可以一键建立一个CoreOS实例,这似乎也是CoreOS官方推荐的主流install方式(最Easy)。
CoreOS当然支持其他方式的安装,比如支持虚拟机安装(vagrant+virtualbox)、PXE(preboot execute environment)安装以及iso install to 物理disk方式。如果仅仅是做一些实验,虚拟机安装是最简单也是最安全的方式。不过由于CoreOS的官方下载站在大陆无法直接访问(大陆程序员们好悲 催啊),因此这一最简单的虚拟机安装CoreOS的过程也就不那么简单了。
通过core-vagrant安装的直接结果是CoreOS被安装到一个VirtualBox虚拟机中,之后我们利用Vagrant命令来进行 CoreOS虚拟机的启停。CoreOS以及Vagrant都在持续演进,尤其是CoreOS目前在active dev中,版本号变化很快,这也是CoreOS滚动升级的必然结果。因此在安装操作演示前,我们有必要明确一下这个安装过程使用的软件版本:
物理机OS:
Ubuntu 12.04 3.8.0-42-generic x86_64
VirtualBox:
Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager 4.2.10
Vagrant:
Vagrant 1.7.3
CoreOS:
stable 717.3.0
coreos-vagrant source:
commit b9ed7e2182ff08b72419ab3e89f4a5652bc75082
一、原理
如果没有Wall,CoreOS的coreos-vagrant安装将非常简单:
1、git clone https://github.com/coreos/coreos-vagrant
2、编辑配置文件
3、vagrant up
4、vagrant ssh
但是现在有了Wall,步骤3:vagrant up会报错:无法连接到http://stable.release.core-os.net/amd64-usr/717.3.0/xx这个url,导致安装失败。
我大致分析了一下vagrant up的执行过程:
1、设置配置默认值
$num_instances = 1
$instance_name_prefix = "core"
$update_channel = "alpha"
$image_version = "current"
$enable_serial_logging = false
$share_home = false
$vm_gui = false
$vm_memory = 1024
$vm_cpus = 1
$shared_folders = {}
$forwarded_ports = {}
2、判断是否存在config.rb这个配置,如果有,则加载。
3、设置config.vm.url,并获取对应的json文件:
{
"name": "coreos-stable",
"description": "CoreOS stable",
"versions": [{
"version": "717.3.0",
"providers": [{
"name": "virtualbox",
"url": "http://stable.release.core-os.net/amd64-usr/717.3.0/coreos_production_vagrant.box",
"checksum_type": "sha256",
"checksum": "99dcd74c7cae8b1d90f108f8819f92b17bfbd34f4f141325bd0400fe4def55b6"
}]
}]
}
4、根据config.vm.provider(是virtualbox还是vmvare等)来决定采用哪种虚拟机创建逻辑。
这里我们看到,整个过程只需要从core-os.net下载两个文件:coreos_production_vagrant.box和coreos_production_vagrant.json。如果我们提前将这两个文件下载到本地,并放在一个临时的http server下,修改Vagrantfile和coreos_production_vagrant.json这两个文件,就应该可以通过coreos-vagrant安装了。
二、coreos-vagrant安装single instance CoreOS
好了,根据上述原理,我们首先要下载coreos_production_vagrant.box和coreos_production_vagrant.json这两个文件,根据我们的channel和版本选择,两个文件的下载地址分别为:
http://stable.release.core-os.net/amd64-usr/717.3.0/coreos_production_vagrant.box
http://stable.release.core-os.net/amd64-usr/717.3.0/coreos_production_vagrant.json
接下来就是不管你用什么梯子,只要把这两个文件下载到本地,并放到一个目录下就好了。
我们需要修改一下coreos_production_vagrant.json,将其中的url改为:
"url": "http://localhost:8080/coreos_production_vagrant.box"
我们要将这两个文件放到一个local file server中,后续供core-vagrant访问。最简单的方法就是使用:
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080
当然使用Go实现一个简单的http file server也是非常简单的:
//fileserver.go
package main
import "net/http"
import "log"
func main() {
log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":8080", http.FileServer(http.Dir("./"))))
}
接下来我们就可以按照正常步骤,下载coreos-vagrant并up了:
$git clone https://github.com/coreos/coreos-vagrant
修改Vagrantfile:
$ diff Vagrantfile Vagrantfile.bak
14,15c14,15
< $update_channel = "stable"
< $image_version = "717.3.0"
—
> $update_channel = "alpha"
> $image_version = "current"
55c55
< config.vm.box_url = "http://localhost:8080/coreos_production_vagrant.json"
—
> config.vm.box_url = "http://%s.release.core-os.net/amd64-usr/%s/coreos_production_vagrant.json" % [$update_channel, $image_version]
将user-data.sample改名为user-data,并编辑user-data,在etcd2下面增加一行:
etcd2:
name: core-01
将units:下面对于etcd2的注释去掉,以enable etcd2服务。(将etcd服务注释掉)
万事俱备,只需vagrant up。
$ vagrant up

登入你的coreos实例:
$ vagrant ssh
CoreOS stable (717.3.0)
core@core-01 ~ $
在vagrant up时,你可能会遇到如下两个错误:
错误1:
Progress state: VBOX_E_FILE_ERROR
VBoxManage: error: Could not open the medium storage unit '/home1/tonybai/.vagrant.d/boxes/coreos-stable/717.3.0/virtualbox/coreos_production_vagrant_image.vmdk'.

这个问题的原因很可能是你的Virtualbox版本不对,比如版本太低,与coreos_production_vagrant.box格式不兼容。可尝试安装一下高版本virtualbox来解决。
错误2:

coreos虚拟机创建后,似乎一直无法连接上。在coreos的github issue中,有人遇到了这个问题,目前给出的原因是因为cpu的支持虚拟化技术的vt开关没有打开,需要在bios中将其开启。这主要在安装64bit box时才会发生。
到这里,我们已经完成了一个single instance coreos虚拟机的安装。vagrant halt可以帮助你将启动的coreos虚拟机停下来。
$ vagrant halt
==> core-01: Attempting graceful shutdown of VM…
三、 CoreOS cluster
上面虽然成功的安装了coreos,然并卵。在实际应用中,CoreOS多以Cluster形式呈现,也就是说我们要启动多个CoreOS实例。
使用vagrant启动多个coreos实例很简单,只需将配置中的$num_instances从1改为n。
这里我们启用config.rb这个配置文件(将config.rb.sample改名为config.rb),并将其中的$num_instances修改为3:
# Size of the CoreOS cluster created by Vagrant
$num_instances=3
该配置文件中的数据会覆盖Vagrantfile中的默认配置。
三个instance中的etcd2要想组成集群还需要一个配置修改,那就是在etcd.io上申请一个token:
$curl https://discovery.etcd.io/new
https://discovery.etcd.io/fe81755687323aae273dc5f111eb059a
将这个token配置到user-data中的etcd2下:
etcd2:
#generate a new token for each unique cluster from https://discovery.etcd.io/new
#discovery: https://discovery.etcd.io/<token>
discovery: https://discovery.etcd.io/fe81755687323aae273dc5f111eb059a
我们再来up看看:
$ vagrant up

Bringing machine 'core-02' up with 'virtualbox' provider…
Bringing machine 'core-03' up with 'virtualbox' provider…

core-03: Running: inline script
$vagrant ssh core-02
CoreOS stable (717.3.0)
core@core-02 ~ $
可以看到Vagrant启动了三个coreos instance。关闭这些instance,同样用halt:
$ vagrant halt
==> core-03: Attempting graceful shutdown of VM…
==> core-02: Attempting graceful shutdown of VM…
==> core-01: Attempting graceful shutdown of VM…
四、小结
以上仅仅是CoreOS最基本的入门,虽然现在安装ok了,但CoreOS的各种服务组件的功用、配置;如何与Docker配合形成分布式服务系统;如何用Google Kubernetes管理容器集群等还需更进一步深入学习,这个后续会慢慢道来。

你好,1、这是我的配置, 物理机OS: windows7 VirtualBox: Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager 4.1.6 Vagrant: Vagrant 1.7.4 CoreOS: stable 717.3.0 2、3都是好的。
