#pyagent

This agent runs on compute nodes in a Rancher cluster. It receives events from the Rancher server, acts upon them, and returns response events.

Deployment notes

This agent is typically deployed inside a container on Rancher compute nodes. See the Rancher project for details.

Setup and Development notes

On Mac OS X

Steps to get the tests running and passing:

1. Have boot2docker up and running
2. Create virtual environment and install python dependencies:

$ mkdir venv && virtualenv venv && . venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ pip install -r test-requirements.txt

1. Run the tests:

mkdir $HOME/cattle-home
$ CATTLE_DOCKER_USE_BOOT2DOCKER=true CATTLE_HOME=$HOME/cattle-home py.test tests

Or you can do the equivalent in PyCharm. An explanation of those environment variables:

• CATTLE_DOCKER_USE_BOOT2DOCKER=true tells the docker client to use the connection settings derived from boot2docker shellinit. You need this because boot2docker has TLS enabled by default.
• CATTLE_HOME is needed for some temporary files that are written (locks, specifically)
