Install OpenStack Magnum Container Service on CentOS / Ubuntu
10 min readOct 6, 2022
Magnum is an OpenStack API service created to help OpenStack user manage container orchestration engines such as Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, and Apache Mesos. Magnum uses Heat to orchestrate an OS image which contains Docker and Kubernetes and runs that image in either virtual machines or bare metal in a cluster configuration.
In this guide, we will cover the steps required to setup Magnum Container Orchestration Service in OpenStack. You should have a working OpenStack cloud environment before you follow this guide along. For Development environments, we have a guide you can refer to:
OpenStack Deployment on Ubuntu with DevStack
OpenStack Deployment on CentOS 7 With Packstack
Install OpenStack on CentOS 8 with Packstack
Before you Begin
You need to have access to:
- Database server being used by OpenStack services
- A root access to change Magnum configuration files in the controller
- Access to the admin credentials file — .keystonerc or .admin-openrc
Once you have confirmed access to above, you can start to setup Magnum container service n OpenStack.
Step 1: Create Magnum database user
Create the magnum database and grant proper access to the magnum database:
$ mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE magnum;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON magnum.* TO 'magnum'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'aShuumoNg8ieche';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON magnum.* TO 'magnum'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'aShuumoNg8ieche';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
\qReplace MagnumDBPassword with a suitable password for magnum database user.
Step 2: Create magnum service user
Source the admin credentials to gain access to admin-only CLI commands:
$ source ~/.keystonercThen create a magnum service user account.
$ openstack user create --domain default --project service --password aShuumoNg8ieche magnum
+---------------------+----------------------------------+
| Field | Value |
+---------------------+----------------------------------+
| default_project_id | 0766331616c7429a9b459d0d642cc4db |
| domain_id | default |
| enabled | True |
| id | 60e671d56e4148bca1d5be2e2a1197c4 |
| name | magnum |
| options | |
| password_expires_at | None |
+---------------------+----------------------------------+Add the admin role to the magnum user:
$ openstack role add --project service --user magnum adminCreate the magnum service entity:
$ openstack service create --name magnum --description "OpenStack Container Infrastructure Management Service" container-infra
+-------------+-------------------------------------------------------+
| Field | Value |
+-------------+-------------------------------------------------------+
| description | OpenStack Container Infrastructure Management Service |
| enabled | True |
| id | c4f62b6df2694b489d8cdf8caf4f00e1 |
| name | magnum |
| type | container-infra |
+-------------+-------------------------------------------------------+Step 3: Create Service API endpoints
Create the Container Infrastructure Management service API endpoints.
Replace controller value with the IP address the magnum listens to. This can also be a hostname which is reachable by the Compute instances.
$ export controller=192.168.1.10
$ openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne container-infra public http://$controller:9511/v1
+--------------+----------------------------------+
| Field | Value |
+--------------+----------------------------------+
| enabled | True |
| id | 49fa8d06927747fca27e33e4bbb71180 |
| interface | public |
| region | RegionOne |
| region_id | RegionOne |
| service_id | c4f62b6df2694b489d8cdf8caf4f00e1 |
| service_name | magnum |
| service_type | container-infra |
| url | http://192.168.1.10:9511/v1 |
+--------------+----------------------------------+
$ openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne container-infra internal http://$controller:9511/v1
+--------------+----------------------------------+

| service_name | magnum |
| service_type | container-infra |
| url | http://192.168.1.10:9511/v1 |
+--------------+----------------------------------+
$ openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne container-infra admin http://$controller:9511/v1
+--------------+----------------------------------+
| Field | Value |
+--------------+----------------------------------+
| enabled | True |
| id | 12719874757b4c6e9483c0f62a9154d5 |
| interface | admin |
| region | RegionOne |
| region_id | RegionOne |
| service_id | c4f62b6df2694b489d8cdf8caf4f00e1 |
| service_name | magnum |
| service_type | container-infra |
| url | http://192.168.1.10:9511/v1 |
+--------------+----------------------------------+Step 4: Create Magnum Domain
Create the magnum domain that contains projects and users for the container service.
$ openstack domain create --description "Owns users and projects created by magnum" magnum
+-------------+-------------------------------------------+
| Field | Value |
+-------------+-------------------------------------------+
| description | Owns users and projects created by magnum |
| enabled | True |
| id | 602fe4ebda15445d87f42237a7af9240 |
| name | magnum |
| tags | [] |
+-------------+-------------------------------------------+Create the magnum_domain_admin user to manage projects and users in the magnum domain
$ openstack user create --domain magnum --password aShuumoNg8ieche magnum_domain_admin
+---------------------+----------------------------------+
| Field | Value |
+---------------------+----------------------------------+
| domain_id | 602fe4ebda15445d87f42237a7af9240 |
| enabled | True |
| id | 7339631f125a40d5b77b0f959990203e |
| name | magnum_domain_admin |
| options | |
| password_expires_at | None |
+---------------------+----------------------------------+Add the admin role to the magnum_domain_admin user in the magnum domain to enable administrative management privileges:
$ openstack role add --domain magnum --user-domain magnum --user magnum_domain_admin adminStep 5: Install and configure Magnum components
