Hi Marc-Antione,

No problem. I would recommend adding --staging to haproxy_ssl_letsencrypt_setup_extra_params whilst you get the letsencrypt support working. You will not get a proper certificate with that flag but it will bypass the letsencrypt rate limit so you can have as many tests as you need.

It would be also worth checking the timeout values on later branches, Ussuri is now in extended-maintenance so not receiving back ported bug fixes.

See for example https://github.com/openstack/openstack-ansible/blob/stable/xena/inventory/group_vars/haproxy/haproxy.yml#L248-L258

Thanks for your huge help. It’s is exactly what we wanted to try. We’ll feel more confident.

Best,

Marc-Antoine

Hi Marc-Antoine,

For setting the horizon acl, see https://docs.openstack.org/openstack-ansible/ussuri/user/security/index.html

Specifically:

"Copy the whole variable haproxy_default_services from /opt/openstack-ansible/inventory/group_vars/haproxy/haproxy.yml to /etc/openstack_deploy/group_vars/haproxy/haproxy_all.yml and update the section for horizon to include the ACL redirects http-01 challenges to the HAProxy letsencrypt backend as follows: ......"

It is correct that this is not necessary in later releases and the letsencrypt support is more straightforward to configure in Victoria.

You can also join #openstack-ansible IRC channel for some real-time help if needed.

Jonathan.

Hello,

I have a question on how to setup LetsEncrypt with OpenStack Ansible. We are still on OpenStack Ussuri.

We added the following variables to user_variables.yml.

==================================================================================

haproxy_ssl_letsencrypt_enable: True

haproxy_ssl_letsencrypt_install_method: "distro"

haproxy_ssl_letsencrypt_setup_extra_params: "--http-01-address {{ ansible_host }} --http-01-port 8888"

haproxy_ssl_letsencrypt_email: email@example.com

haproxy_interval: 2000

haproxy_extra_services:

  # an internal only service for acme-challenge whose backend is certbot on the haproxy host

  - service:

      haproxy_service_name: letsencrypt

      haproxy_backend_nodes:

        - name: localhost

          ip_addr: {{ ansible_host }}                        #certbot binds to the internal IP

      backend_rise: 1                                        #quick rise and fall time for multinode deployment to succeed

      backend_fall: 2

      haproxy_bind:

        - 127.0.0.1                                          #bind to 127.0.0.1 as the local internal address  will be used by certbot

      haproxy_port: 8888                                     #certbot is configured with http-01-port to be 8888

      haproxy_balance_type: http

==================================================================================

Yet, Horizon config for HAproxy is already defined in the default vars (https://github.com/openstack/openstack-ansible/blob/stable/ussuri/inventory/group_vars/haproxy/haproxy.yml) and we don’t know where ta add the required ACL to redirect the traffic from 80 port to 8888:

====================================

haproxy_frontend_acls:                                 #use a frontend ACL specify the backend to use for acme-challenge

  letsencrypt-acl:

    rule: "path_beg /.well-known/acme-challenge/"

    backend_name: letsencrypt

====================================

We know that this is fixed in OpenStack Ansible Victoria. Is it possible with Ussuri tho ?

Many thanks,

Best,
