Description

Notes for rebooting the Aria-Tosca Getting Started
Guide

This document includes things needed to reboot the existing Getting Started guide from http://ariatosca.incubator.apache.org/getting-started/ and https://github.com/apache/incubator-ariatosca/blob/master/README.rst The goal here is to have a newbie be able to get up to speed and run a basic example in 30 minutes or less.

Make http://ariatosca.incubator.apache.org/getting-started/ point at the live Github
Do we need to handle different releases?
I don’t think so. As long as we’re before release 1.0, we should only have to target the latest.

Create a matrix for releases + examples that work together
Note in the README to find versions (including latest)
Pointer to here: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/ariatosca/

Email thread with example steps taken by Vish to install latest (.1.1) on Ubuntu 16
There should be a note in the Getting Started page mentioning that the steps are generic for the different releases. Have a link that lists out concrete steps for Ubuntu 16.04, CentOS and other supported OS. These links would illustrate how to get the different release artifacts(e.g git checkout tags/0.1.1) for the different OS.
+ Windows and Mac OS

Ran mentioned about the workaround of using “--no-binary” as part of “sudo pip install apache-ariatosca[ssh] --no-binary apache-ariatosca” in order to be able to successfully create aria services. Is there a JIRA that tracks fixing this work around?

Add -H to PIP commands (for certain situations)
I think what we generally need to do is show two kinds of install: general for the OS (in which case you need -H) and in a virtual environment (in which case you don’t).

Have a note pointing to the Github README.md (https://github.com/apache/incubator-ariatosca/blob/master/README.rst)

Amend the “Getting Started” section at the bottom of the README to include examples from different versions and platforms in combinations that work out of the box.

It would be nice to have
live running demo env (like ONOS)
a simple/straight-forward link to images and examples such as this:
http://onosproject.org/software/
https://wiki.onosproject.org/display/ONOS/Tutorials
Quick start with a VM or Container like this (https://wiki.onosproject.org/display/ONOS/Basic+ONOS+Tutorial)
Updated/complete Docker images stored on Docker Hub and instructions for how to run.
https://hub.docker.com/r/apacheariatosca/aria/
Update instructions for running including for releases
Create different containers per major examples?
Might have to

FYI Below were the set of steps that got me an end to end successful run on ubuntu 16.04 and is captured at http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-ariatosca-dev/201708.mbox/[e-mail]%3e

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt install -y python-pip git

sudo pip install --upgrade pip setuptools

sudo apt-get install -y python-dev gcc libffi-dev libssl-dev

sudo pip install apache-ariatosca[ssh] --no-binary apache-ariatosca

git clone https://github.com/apache/incubator-ariatosca.git

cd incubator-ariatosca

git checkout tags/0.1.1

aria service-templates store examples/hello-world/helloworld.yaml my-service-template

aria services create my-service -t my-service-template

aria executions start install -s my-service

Example Dockerfile for aria on ubuntu 16.04 ( For those familiar with Docker) #TODO: Need to push to dockerhub and provide additional instructions (
pulling the image - docker pull apacheariatosca/aria
and running the container - docker run -it apacheariatosca/aria bash
) for running the container.

FROM ubuntu:16.04

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
python-dev \
gcc \
libffi-dev \
libssl-dev \
python-pip \
git \
wget

RUN pip install --upgrade pip setuptools

RUN pip install apache-ariatosca[ssh] --no-binary apache-ariatosca

WORKDIR /tmp

RUN git clone https://github.com/apache/incubator-ariatosca.git /tmp/incubator-ariatosca

WORKDIR /tmp/incubator-ariatosca

RUN git checkout tags/0.1.1

These are artifacts from when this issue was previously created; make sure they are satisfied.

1) Create a Downloads section/page, with links to the canonical Apache release.
2) Add links to relevant resources and tools (Github repository, Confluence, contribution guide, etc.).
3) Add the releases' auto-generated API docs.
4) Add links to the TOSCA theoretical overview by emblemparade.
