Victoria + Vpnaas: OK Wallaby + Vpnaas: NOT OK In July: 3 new (different) servers: Rocky OS (8.4) (I changed /etc/system.release to install Openstack) Wallaby + Vpnaas: NOT OK (1), all is working except VPNaaS Victoria + Vpnaas: NOT OK (2), all is working except VPNaaS (thanks Radoslaw for horizon !!)

There are no relevant differences in the VPNaaS plugin between Victoria and Wallaby. Maybe there actually is a difference between Rocky and Stream: the pid directory expected by pluto. At least your error message (no "/run/pluto/pluto.ctl") suggests that. The libreswan driver in the VPNaaS plugin works under the assumption that the run-files reside in /var/run. ipsec commands are run via a wrapper to call the actual command inside a namespace, with /etc/ and /var/run/ bind-mounted.
The real paths are /var/lib/neutron/ipsec/{router-id}/... and in there .../etc and ..,/var/run. In a working setup you should find /var/lib/neutron/ipsec/{router-id}/var/run/pluto/pluto.ctl
So it may be a problem if pluto wants to use /run (not bind-mounted), but the plugin only provides for /var/run (bind-mounted).

Hello. unfortunately, despite the good functioning of Victoria, the VPNAAS service is not working. Same error as for wallaby:
Command: ['ipsec', 'whack', '--status'] Exit code: 33 Stdout: Stderr: whack: Pluto is not running (no "/run/pluto/pluto.ctl") ; Stderr:
I think it's my fault. I didn't want to install CentOS Stream (not knowing what happened with this distribution), I put Rocky. This is a big mistake. I will start all over again, put CentOS Stream (VPNaas worked with Victoria and CentOS Stream in my tests). Thanks again. I'm still disgusted with all this wasted time.
Hello Franck,
Before you go wrecking your infra - I am pretty sure that Rocky vs Stream does not make a difference here. I thought Victoria worked because you said so but it seems it has always broken in Kolla Ansible and we have a bug to fix: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kolla-ansible/+bug/1869491 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/kolla-ansible/+bug/1869491> VPNaaS is not the most popular enabled option to be honest.
Do you remember how you got it working back then? That could help here.

Oh !! Thanks a lot, really.
Indeed, I installed kolla-ansible 12.0, install wallaby (it works perfectly… expect Vpnaas), then I changed "wallaby" to « victoria » in globals.yml.
And in Wallaby's notes, there is the sentence: The Karbor project is no longer maintained and retired since the Wallaby cycle. Its support and roles are also removed since Wallaby cycle. So, it's not normal that it doesn't work. I understand…. There is a lot of things, it’s not easy to do the right thing the first time.
On the other hand ... and I hope not to abuse, I am not sure I understand "clone https://opendev.org/openstack/kolla-ansible <https://opendev.org/openstack/kolla-ansible>". Do you have to uninstall kolla-ansible 12 before putting 11? How do you do "pip install that directory then"? Really sorry for these stupid questions, but I'm afraid to mess things up.
Sure thing. I meant to use Git. Try these commands:
git clone --branch stable/victoria \ https://opendev.org/openstack/kolla-ansible <https://opendev.org/openstack/kolla-ansible> pip install ./kolla-ansible

Hello
Hello Franck,
Having had no help with my Vpnaas (centos wallaby) problem, I came back to Victoria because I know from having tested that Vpnaas works as it should under Victoria. A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to use 3 test servers, I had set up Victoria (with Centos and kolla-ansible). No problem, everything was working as I wanted it to. I have since set up 3 new servers to set up an Openstack for my students. if i install Wallaby, no Vpnaas, and I need VPNaaS…. So Victoria.
if I install Victoria, and this is the 1st time that this happens to me, horizon does not work. The horizon docker does not start. The "docker logs horizon" command ends with the following 3 lines: ++ config_karbor_dashboard ++ for file in $ {SITE_PACKAGES} / karbor_dashboard / enabled / _ * [^ __]. py / usr / local / bin / kolla_extend_start: line 121: ENABLE_KARBOR: unbound variable
This error suggests you are using Kolla Ansible Wallaby or later to deploy Victoria. You probably just set "openstack_release" to "Victoria" without downgrading Kolla Ansible to a supported version. There is a reason why "openstack_release" is commented with "Do not override this unless you know what you are doing.". ;-) It is only really meant to be used for very specific tasks, not really meant for regular users. Please have a look at https://docs.openstack.org/releasenotes/kolla-ansible/victoria.html <https://docs.openstack.org/releasenotes/kolla-ansible/victoria.html> The latest release for Victoria is 11.0.0 but there are lots of unreleased fixes so I advise you to just clone https://opendev.org/openstack/kolla-ansible checkout stable/victoria and pip install that directory then. It will fix your current issue.
