[openstack-dev] Barbican : Dependency of pyenv configuration in Barbican.sh script

Hi Asha,

I hope I can clear up some of your confusion about the Barbican server.  Barbican is a standard WSGI application. [1]  The WSGI application object is created by the create_main_app function in barbican.api.app [2].  WSGI should not be confused with uWSGI [3], which is a web server that can serve WSGI applications.

There are many ways to deploy a WSGI application.  You could use apache with mod_wsgi [4],  or you could use gunicorn [5], or you could use paste.httpserver [6] as the barbican-api script does, or you could use uWSGI as the barbican.sh script does.  Whatever your choice of web server will not affect how Barbican works.

The barbican-api script that runs Barbican using paste.httpserver is a very lightweight script to get Barbican running quickly in development environments without any additional requirements.  The barbican.sh script is a very opinionated script for setting up a development environment.  Note that uwsgi and pyenv are not required by Barbican itself, only for the barbican.sh script.  Neither script is intended to be used for production deployments.

The Barbican team currently defers all deployment decisions to the operator, so you will have to figure out which WSGI host is right for your deployment, and create your own deployment scripts.

The reason you’re seeing 406 errors with your curl commands is because you’re not specifying an “Accept” header with your requests.  You should retry the curl commands with –H “Accept: application/json” and you should see the correct responses.

Thanks,
- Douglas Mendizabal

Hi All ,

Would need help!

I tried executing the script present in the link https://github.com/openstack/barbican/blob/master/bin/barbican-api  to  start the barbican instance but  the use cases of barbican are failing.
Please find the details of the investigations :

Usecase for posting and retrieving the secret.

[root at barbican-keystone2 ~]# curl -X POST -H 'content-type:application/json' -H 'X-Project-Id:12345' -d '{"payload": "my-secret-here", "payload_content_type": "text/plain"}' http://localhost:9311/v1/secrets

[root at barbican-keystone2 ~]# curl -H 'Accept: application/json' -H 'X-Project-Id:12345' http://localhost:9311/v1/secrets
{"code": 406, "description": null, "title": "Not Acceptable"}[root at barbican-keystone2 ~]#
[root at barbican-keystone2 ~]#

The output of the ps command when the barbican instance is stood up using the python script as pointed in the above link
We do not see the instance of uwsgi in the response:

[root at barbican-keystone2 ~]# ps -ef | grep barbican

The barbican instance needs to be started on top of uswgi server instance since uwsgi is the webserver which serves the request for barbican services. The script does not start the uwsgi server

Please correct me if I am wrong.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,
Asha Seshagiri

Hi All,

Thanks Adam for your response.
I am able to run the barbican-api script without SQLLite installation .I guess SQLLite comes configured with barbican installation .Please correct me if I am wrong.

I would like to get confirmation from the team that barbican-api would be used only to standup the barbican instance , for installation of barbican ,debugging and stoping the barbican instance , we still need to use barbican.sh script .

Any help would highly be appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,

Do you have sqlite installed on your system, and do you have config.py in the root of your barbican directory? The database is configured there (assuming it hasn’t changed since I last ran Barbican locally), and mine looks like this:

config = {

Subject: Re: Barbican : Dependency of pyenv configuration in Barbican.sh script

Thanks John for you answer.
I tried running the  script bin/barbican-api and ran into this issue (pasted at the end) . Seems like the script does not take care of the database side.

1) do we need to do something else to setup database? or its being worked on ?
2) Can we help in the process of removing dependencies in these scripts? Should that be through the launchpad ?

Hello Asha,

The barbican.sh script was originally intended to be a convenient way to boot up a Barbican instance locally to quickly start evaluating its API and functionality.

It was not intended to be used as a production script, deferring instead to deployments utilizing packages such as RDO RPMs and so forth for that purpose.

That said, changes to that script have been discussed, including removing pyenv and uWSGI as dependencies, hence such changes would be good to consider.

I’d also note that a solution based on this recently added script [1] might be in order.

Thanks,
John

Subject: Barbican : Dependency of pyenv configuration in Barbican.sh script

Hi All,

I would like to know the reason behind the dependency of the pyenv virtual environment and pyenv in the barbican.sh script.
Ideally in the production environment  , barbican would run on standalone virtual box with a particular python version .I feel that their dependecies needs to be removed from the script.

Was able to stand up the barbican instance without configuring pyenv and pyenv-virtualenv dependencies  by modifying the barbican script , installing few additional packages and exporting the python path to PATH variable
Please find the change in barbican.sh script for installation and starting of the script below :

VENV_DIR=${VIRTUAL_ENV:-`pyenv prefix`} -> This line needs to be removed
uwsgi --master --emperor $CONFIG_DIR/vassals -H  $VENV_DIR -> The  $VENV_DIR variable need to be removed as an argument and -H as an option.

The barbican script has been tied to $VENV_DIR variable which is dependent on the pyenv  for python configuration.Hence the barbican.sh  script needs to be  modified to remove $VENV_DIR variable  by configuring python path in PATH variable.
On doing this , we can avoid the sourcing the pyenv and pyenv-virtualenv packages  and its dependices on Barbican script.

Any help would be highly appreciated and also would like to know opinion from the openstack group  on the changes indicated
Thanks in advance


Thanks and Regards,
Asha Seshagiri
