[docs][install] Split the docker and ansible install guides
docker.userguide.rst contained two methods of installation:
* Manual installation of all the docker containers
* one-click install using ansible
A new user is potentially going to be confused about which
document to use, and may not be aware that the two options exist.
This change splits the install guide into two documents, one for
docker, and one for ansible. It also renames the docker guide to
make it more obvious to the user what is contained in the guide.

Another component used by +ansible (e.g. pip is used for downloading python dependencies) will also benefit +from setting proxy variables properly in the system. + +Proxy variables used by ansible One Click Install: + * http_proxy + * https_proxy + * ftp_proxy + * no_proxy + +Variables mentioned above have to be visible for superuser (because most +actions involving ansible-barometer installation require root privileges). +Proxy variables are commonly defined in '/etc/environment' file (but any other +place is good as long as variables can be seen by commands using 'su'). + +Sample proxy configuration in /etc/environment: + +.. code:: bash + + http_proxy=http://your.proxy.domain:1234 + https_proxy=http://your.proxy.domain:1234 + ftp_proxy=http://your.proxy.domain:1234 + no_proxy=localhost + +Install Ansible +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +.. note:: + * sudo permissions or root access are required to install ansible. + * ansible version needs to be 2.4+, because usage of import/include statements + +The following steps have been verified with Ansible 2.6.3 on Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04. +To install Ansible 2.6.3 on Ubuntu: + +.. code:: bash + + $ sudo apt-get install python + $ sudo apt-get install python-pip + $ sudo -H pip install 'ansible==2.6.3' + +The following steps have been verified with Ansible 2.6.3 on Centos 7.5. +To install Ansible 2.6.3 on Centos: + +.. code:: bash + + $ sudo yum install python + $ sudo yum install epel-release + $ sudo yum install python-pip + $ sudo -H pip install 'ansible==2.6.3' + $ sudo yum install git + +.. note:: + When using multi-node-setup, please make sure that 'python' package is + installed on all of the target nodes (ansible during 'Gathering facts' + phase is using python2 and it may not be installed by default on some + distributions - e.g. on Ubuntu 16.04 it has to be installed manually) + +Clone barometer repo +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +.. code:: bash + + $ git clone https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/barometer + $ cd barometer/docker/ansible + +Edit inventory file +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +Edit inventory file and add hosts: $barometer_dir/docker/ansible/default.inv + +.. code:: bash + + [collectd_hosts] + localhost + + [collectd_hosts:vars] + install_mcelog=true + insert_ipmi_modules=true + + [influxdb_hosts] + localhost + + [grafana_hosts] + localhost + + [prometheus_hosts] + #localhost + + [zookeeper_hosts] + #NOTE: currently one zookeeper host is supported + #hostname + + [kafka_hosts] + #hostname + + [ves_hosts] + #hostname + +Change localhost to different hosts where neccessary. +Hosts for influxdb and grafana are required only for collectd_service.yml. +Hosts for zookeeper, kafka and ves are required only for collectd_ves.yml. + +.. note:: + Zookeeper, Kafka and VES need to be on the same host, there is no + support for multi node setup. + +To change host for kafka edit kafka_ip_addr in ./roles/config_files/vars/main.yml. + +Additional plugin dependencies +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +By default ansible will try to fulfill dependencies for mcelog and ipmi plugin. +For mcelog plugin it installs mcelog daemon. For ipmi it tries to insert ipmi_devintf +and ipmi_si kernel modules. +This can be changed in inventory file with use of variables install_mcelog +and insert_ipmi_modules, both variables are independent: + +.. code:: bash + + [collectd_hosts:vars] + install_mcelog=false + insert_ipmi_modules=false + +.. note:: + On Ubuntu 18.04 the deb package for mcelog daemon is not available in official + Ubuntu repository.
