If you already have a Saltstack environment you can skip this section.
The simplest way to get Salt up and running on a node is to use the bootstrap script they provide:
curl -L https://bootstrap.saltstack.com -o /tmp/bootstrap_salt.sh
sudo sh /tmp/bootstrap_salt.sh -XUdfP -x python3
For more information check Saltstack’s documentation
This is a package-based installation method. The Salt scripts are available from the tools/salt-install directory in the Arvados git repository.
Use the provision.sh script to deploy Arvados, which is implemented with the arvados-formula in a Saltstack master-less setup:
This will install all the main Arvados components to get you up and running. The whole installation procedure takes somewhere between 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the host and your network bandwidth. On a virtual machine with 1 core and 1 GB RAM, it takes ~25 minutes to do the initial install.
If everything goes OK, you’ll get some final lines stating something like:
arvados: Succeeded: 109 (changed=9)
arvados: Failed: 0
After the setup is done, you need to set up your DNS to be able to access the cluster.
The simplest way to do this is to edit your /etc/hosts file (as root):
export CLUSTER="arva2"
export DOMAIN="arv.local"
export HOST_IP="127.0.0.2" # This is valid either if installing in your computer directly
# or in a Vagrant VM. If you're installing it on a remote host
# just change the IP to match that of the host.
echo "${HOST_IP} api keep keep0 collections download ws workbench workbench2 ${CLUSTER}.${DOMAIN} api.${CLUSTER}.${DOMAIN} keep.${CLUSTER}.${DOMAIN} keep0.${CLUSTER}.${DOMAIN} collections.${CLUSTER}.${DOMAIN} download.${CLUSTER}.${DOMAIN} ws.${CLUSTER}.${DOMAIN} workbench.${CLUSTER}.${DOMAIN} workbench2.${CLUSTER}.${DOMAIN}" >> /etc/hosts
Arvados uses SSL to encrypt communications. Its UI uses AJAX which will silently fail if the certificate is not valid or signed by an unknown Certification Authority.
For this reason, the arvados-formula has a helper state to create a root certificate to authorize Arvados services. The provision.sh script will leave a copy of the generated CA’s certificate (arvados-snakeoil-ca.pem) in the script’s directory so you can add it to your workstation.
Installing the root certificate into your web browser will prevent security errors when accessing Arvados services with your web browser.
chrome://settings/certificates in the URL bar.about:preferences#privacy in the URL bar and then choosing “View Certificates…”.arvados-snakeoil-ca.pemThe certificate will be added under the “Arvados Formula”.
To access your Arvados instance using command line clients (such as arv-get and arv-put) without security errors, install the certificate into the OS certificate storage.
cp arvados-root-cert.pem /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/
/usr/sbin/update-ca-certificates
cp arvados-root-cert.pem /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/
/usr/bin/update-ca-trust
At this point you should be able to log into the Arvados cluster.
If you changed nothing in the provision.sh script, the initial URL will be:
or, in general, the url format will be:
<cluster>.<domain>By default, the provision script creates an initial user for testing purposes. This user is configured as administrator of the newly created cluster.
Assuming you didn’t change these values in the provision.sh script, the initial credentials are:
The provision.sh script saves a simple example test workflow in the /tmp/cluster_tests. If you want to run it, just change to that directory and run:
cd /tmp/cluster_tests
./run-test.sh
It will create a test user, upload a small workflow and run it. If everything goes OK, the output should similar to this (some output was shortened for clarity):
