Rackspace Installation

3. Provision a Deis Controller

To create the controller and nodes, the Deis system expects to find a Rackspace saved server image named "deis-base-image" in the intended cloud region. Follow the instructions in the ./contrib/rackspace/prepare-rackspace-image.sh script to create this saved image in your Rackspace account.

The `knife`_ Rackspace plugin is used to bootstrap the controller. It should have been installed by bundle install:

$ knife rackspace flavor list  # see if knife-rackspace works
ID  Name                     VCPUs  RAM    Disk
2   512MB Standard Instance  1      512    20 GB
3   1GB Standard Instance    1      1024   40 GB
4   2GB Standard Instance    2      2048   80 GB
...

Run the Rackspace provisioning script, which takes several minutes to complete:

$ ./contrib/rackspace/provision-rackspace-controller.sh dfw
Creating new SSH key: deis-controller
+ ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/deis-controller -t rsa -N '' -C deis-controller

+ set +x
Please ensure that "deis-controller" is added to the Chef "admins" group.

5. Register With the Controller

Registration will discover SSH keys automatically and use the environment variables RACKSPACE_USERNAME and RACKSPACE_API_KEY to configure the Rackspace provider with your credentials.

$ sudo pip install deis
$ deis register http://deis.example.com
username: myuser
password:
password (confirm):
email: myuser@example.com
Registered myuser
Logged in as myuser

Found the following SSH public keys:
1) id_rsa.pub
Which would you like to use with Deis? 1
Uploading /Users/myuser/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to Deis... done

Found Rackspace credentials: 8b7e2cXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Import these credentials? (y/n) : y
Uploading Rackspace credentials... done

6. Deploy a Formation and App

Create a formation and scale it:

$ deis formations:create dev --flavor=rackspace-dfw
$ deis nodes:scale dev runtime=1
