+ This file is a ReStructuredText document, but can be converted to a script
+ using the accompanying rst2script.sed script. Any blocks that are indented by
+ 4 spaces (including comment blocks) will appear in the script. To document
+ code that should not appear in the script, use an indent of less than 4
+ spaces. (Using a Quoted instead of Indented Literal block also works.)
+ To include code in the script that should not appear in the output, make it
+ a comment block.

+
+Install heat from source
+------------------------
+
+Clone the heat repository_ from GitHub at git://github.com/heat-api/heat.git and install::
+
+ sudo python setup.py install
+
+.. _repository: https://github.com/heat-api/heat
+
+Install Openstack
+-----------------
+
+Installing OpenStack on Fedora 16
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Note: on Fedora 16 you have to enable the `Preview Repository`_ to install the required OpenStack Essex release.
+A script called "``openstack``" in the tools directory of the repository will install and start OpenStack for you on Fedora 16/17::
+
+ ./tools/openstack install
+
+If you use this method, you will need to manually create a guest network. How this is done depends on your environment. An example network create operation:
+
+..
+ SUBNET=10.0.0.0/24
+
+::
+
+ sudo nova-manage network create demonet ${SUBNET} 1 256 --bridge=demonetbr0
+
+Where ``${SUBNET}`` is of the form ``10.0.0.0/24``. The network range here, must *not* be one used on your existing physical network. It should be a range dedicated for the network that OpenStack will configure. So if ``10.0.0.0/24`` clashes with your local network, pick another subnet.
+
+If you wish to set up OpenStack manually on Fedora, read `Getting Started With OpenStack On Fedora`_.
+
+.. _Getting Started With OpenStack on Fedora: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Getting_started_with_OpenStack_on_Fedora_17
+.. _Preview Repository: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenStack#Preview_repository
+
+Installing OpenStack on other Distributions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+* There is a `Debian packaging team for OpenStack`_.
+* There are instructions for `installing OpenStack on Ubuntu`_.
+* Various other distributions may have packaging teams or Getting Started guides available.
+
+.. _Debian packaging team for OpenStack: http://wiki.openstack.org/Packaging/Debian
+.. _installing OpenStack on Ubuntu: http://docs.openstack.org/bexar/openstack-compute/admin/content/ch03s02.html
+
+Download Fedora 16 DVD and copy it to libvirt images location
+-------------------------------------------------------------
+
+::
+
+ sudo cp Downloads/Fedora-16-x86_64-DVD.iso /var/lib/libvirt/images
+
+Source the keystone credentials created with tools/openstack
+------------------------------------------------------------
+
+::
+
+ source ~/.openstack/keystonerc
+
+Note: these credentials will be required for all future steps.
+
+Allocate Floating IP Addresses to OpenStack
+-------------------------------------------
+
+If you want to use templates that depend on ``AWS::EC2::EIP`` or ``AWS::EC2::EIPAssociation`` (multi-instance stacks often do, single-instance less often but it's still possible), see the wiki page on `Configuring Floating IPs`_.
+
+.. _Configuring Floating IPs: https://github.com/heat-api/heat/wiki/Configuring-Floating-IPs
+
+Setup the MySQL database for Heat
+---------------------------------
+
+::
+
+ ./bin/heat-db-setup rpm
+
+Note: the first argument is either ``rpm`` for RPM-based distros (such as Fedora) or ``deb`` for Debian-based distros (such as Ubuntu).
+
+Register heat with keystone
+---------------------------
+
+::
+
+ sudo -E ./tools/heat-keystone-service
+
+Note: The ``-E`` option to ``sudo`` preserves the environment, specifically the keystone credentials, when ``heat-keystone-service`` is run as root. This script needs to run as root in order to read the admin password.
+
+Register a SSH key-pair with OpenStack Nova
+-------------------------------------------
+
+This is for Heat to associate with the virtual machines.
+
+::
+
+ nova keypair-add --pub_key ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub ${USER}_key
+
+Install Oz
+----------
+
+Verify that Oz_ is installed ::
+
+ sudo yum -y install oz
+
+Oz is used below to create the JEOS.
+
+.. _Oz: http://aeolusproject.org/oz.html
+
+Create a JEOS
+-------------
+
+::
+
+ sudo -E heat jeos_create F16 x86_64 cfntools
+
+Note: The ``-E`` option to ``sudo`` preserves the environment, specifically the keystone credentials, when ``jeos_create`` is run as root.
+
+Note: ``jeos_create`` must be run as root in order to create the cfntools disk image.
+
+Note: If you want to enable debugging output from Oz, add '``-d``' (debugging) to the ``jeos_create`` command.
+
+Verify JEOS registration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Check that there is a ``F16-x86_64-cfntools`` JEOS in glance:
+
+..
+ GLANCE_INDEX=$(cat <<EOF
+
+::
+
+ glance index
+
+..
+ EOF
+ )
+ $GLANCE_INDEX | grep -q "F16-x86_64-cfntools"
+
+Launch the Heat services
+------------------------
+
+::
+
+ sudo -E bash -c 'heat-api & heat-engine &'
+
+..
+ sleep 5
+
+Launch a Wordpress instance
+---------------------------
+
+::
+
+ heat -d create wordpress --template-file=templates/WordPress_Single_Instance.template --parameters="InstanceType=m1.xlarge;DBUsername=${USER};DBPassword=verybadpass;KeyName=${USER}_key"
+
+List stacks
+-----------
+
+::
+
+ heat list
+
+List stack events
+-----------------
+
+::
+
+ heat events_list wordpress
+
+Describe the ``wordpress`` stack
+--------------------------------
+
+..
+ HEAT_DESCRIBE=$(cat <<EOF
+
+::
+
+ heat describe wordpress
+
+..
+ EOF
+ )
+
+Verify instance creation
+------------------------
+
+Because the software takes some time to install from the repository, it may be a few minutes before the Wordpress intance is in a running state. One way to check is to login via ssh and ``tail -f /var/log/yum.log``. Once mysql-server installs, the instance should be ready to go.
+
+..
+ # Wait for instance to start
+ retries=0
+ DONE_STATUS='"StackStatus": "CREATE_COMPLETE"'
+ while ((retries++ < 24)) && ! $HEAT_DESCRIBE | grep -q "$DONE_STATUS"; do
+ echo "Waiting for instance to become ACTIVE..." >&2
+ sleep 5
+ done
+
+ WebsiteURL=$($HEAT_DESCRIBE | sed -e '/"OutputKey": "WebsiteURL"/,/}/ {' \
+ -e '/"OutputValue":/ {' \
+ -e 's/[^:]*": "//' \
+ -e 's/",\?[[:space:]]*$//' \
+ -e p -e '}' -e '}' -e d)
+
+ sleep 120
+
+Point web browser at the location given by the ``WebsiteURL`` Output as shown by ``heat describe``)::
+
+ wget ${WebsiteURL}
+
+Delete the instance when done
+-----------------------------
+
+::
+
+ heat delete wordpress
+ heat list
+
+Note: This operation will show no running stack.
+
+Other Templates
+===============
+Check out the ``Wordpress_2_Instances_with_EBS_EIP.template``. This uses a few different APIs in OpenStack nova, such as the Volume API, the Floating IP API and the Security Groups API, as well as the general nova launching and monitoring APIs.
+
+Troubleshooting
+===============
+
+If you encounter issues running heat, see if the solution to the issue is documented on the Troubleshooting_ wiki page. If not, let us know about the problem in the #heat IRC channel on freenode.
