This is a quick guide to setting up tuskar-ui.
|
|
|
|
Prerequisites
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
tuskar-ui is a web UI for talking to Tuskar. It is an extension of the
|
|
existing Horizon web interface.
|
|
|
|
Installation prerequisites are:
|
|
|
|
1. A functional OpenStack installation. Horizon and tuskar-ui will
|
|
connect to the Keystone service here. Keystone does *not* need to be
|
|
on the same machine as your tuskar-ui interface, but its HTTP API
|
|
must be accessible.
|
|
2. A functional Tuskar installation. tuskar-ui talks to Tuskar via an
|
|
HTTP interface. It may, but does not have to, reside on the same
|
|
machine as tuskar-ui, but it must be network accessible.
|
|
|
|
You may find
|
|
`the Tuskar install guide <https://github.com/openstack/tuskar/blob/master/INSTALL.rst>`_
|
|
helpful.
|
|
|
|
For baremetal provisioning, you will want a Nova Baremetal driver
|
|
installed and registered in the Keystone services catalog. (You can
|
|
`read more about setting up Nova Baremetal here <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Baremetal>`_.)
|
|
|
|
If you are using Devstack to run OpenStack, you can use
|
|
`Devstack Baremetal configuration <https://github.com/openstack/tuskar-ui/blob/master/docs/devstack_baremetal.rst>`_.
|
|
|
|
Installing the packages
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
tuskar-ui is a Django app written in Python and has a few installation
|
|
dependencies:
|
|
|
|
On a RHEL 6 system, you should install the following:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
yum install git python-devel swig openssl-devel mysql-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel gcc gcc-c++
|
|
|
|
The above should work well for similar RPM-based distributions. For
|
|
other distros or platforms, you will obviously need to convert as
|
|
appropriate.
|
|
|
|
Then, you'll want to use the ``easy_install`` utility to set up a few
|
|
other tools:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
easy_install pip
|
|
easy_install nose
|
|
|
|
Install the management UI
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
Begin by cloning the horizon and tuskar-ui repositories:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
git clone git://github.com/openstack/horizon.git
|
|
git clone git://github.com/openstack/tuskar-ui.git
|
|
|
|
Go into ``horizon`` and install a virtual environment for your setup::
|
|
|
|
cd horizon
|
|
python tools/install_venv.py
|
|
|
|
|
|
Next, run ``run_tests.sh`` to have pip install Horizon dependencies:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
./run_tests.sh
|
|
|
|
Set up your ``local_settings.py`` file:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
cp ../tuskar-ui/local_settings.py.example openstack_dashboard/local/local_settings.py
|
|
|
|
Open up the copied ``local_settings.py`` file in your preferred text
|
|
editor. You will want to customize several settings:
|
|
|
|
- ``OPENSTACK_HOST`` should be configured with the hostname of your
|
|
OpenStack server. Verify that the ``OPENSTACK_KEYSTONE_URL`` and
|
|
``OPENSTACK_KEYSTONE_DEFAULT_ROLE`` settings are correct for your
|
|
environment. (They should be correct unless you modified your
|
|
OpenStack server to change them.)
|
|
- ``TUSKAR_ENDPOINT_URL`` should point to the Tuskar server you
|
|
configured. It normally runs on port 8585.
|
|
|
|
Install Tuskar-UI with all dependencies in your virtual environment::
|
|
|
|
tools/with_venv.sh pip install -r ../tuskar-ui/requirements.txt
|
|
tools/with_venv.sh pip install -e ../tuskar-ui/
|
|
|
|
And enable it in Horizon::
|
|
|
|
cp ../tuskar-ui/_50_tuskar.py.example openstack_dashboard/local/enabled/_50_tuskar.py
|
|
|
|
Starting the app
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
If everything has gone according to plan, you should be able to run:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
tools/with_venv.sh ./manage.py runserver
|
|
|
|
and have the application start on port 8080. The Tuskar dashboard will
|
|
be located at http://localhost:8080/infrastructure
|
|
|
|
If you wish to access it remotely (i.e., not just from localhost), you
|
|
need to open port 8080 in iptables:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT
|
|
|
|
and launch the server with ``0.0.0.0:8080`` on the end:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
tools/with_venv.sh ./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8080
|
|
|
