Rally

Is there support available for Fedora?

Asked by Peeyush Gupta

I have been trying to install rally manually(without devstack) on Feodra 19. I already have a working openstack setup there. But on the installation page I only see ubuntu, centos and virtualenv. I want to know do we have support for Fedora? Or is there any plan to make it work with Fedora?

Thanks,
Peeyush Gupta

Hello Peeyush,

Fedora is a RHEL based GNU/Linux distribution, so I am pretty sure that you can install Rally without problems. You may also try to install Rally in an automated manner, using the install_rally.sh script (https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Rally/installation#Automated_installation).

Regards,
Tzanetos

Thanks, that worked. I am just curious, does that script work based on openstack deployment or the platform? I mean to run that script I just need a openstack environment, doesn't matter the underlying host, right?

To install Rally, you don't necessarily need an OpenStack deployment. You just need a GNU/Linux distribution with Python 2.6 or Python 2.7 installed. So to answer your question, the underlying host is the thing that matters. However, to use Rally, to actually make something with Rally, you need an OpenStack deployment. You instruct Rally which deployment to use with the command 'rally deployment create'.
