OpenStack Dashboard ------------------- The OpenStack Dashboard is a reference implementation of a Django site that uses the Django-Nova project to provide web based interactions with the OpenStack Nova cloud controller. Getting Started --------------- For local development, first create a virtualenv for local development. A tool is included to create one for you: $ python tools/install_venv.py Now that the virtualenv is created, you need to configure your local environment. To do this, create a local_settings.py file in the local/ directory. There is a local_settings.py.example file there that may be used as a template. Finally, issue the django syncdb command: $ tools/with_venv.sh dashboard/manage.py syncdb If after you have specified the admin user the script appears to hang, it probably means the installation of Nova being referred to in local_settings.py is unavailable. If all is well you should now able to run the server locally: $ tools/with_venv.sh dashboard/manage.py runserver
