=================== OpenStack Dashboard =================== The OpenStack Dashboard is a reference implementation of a Django site that uses the Horizon project to provide web based interactions with the various OpenStack projects. Getting Started =============== For local development, first create a virtualenv for the project. 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. If all is well you should now able to run the server locally: $ tools/with_venv.sh dashboard/manage.py runserver Settings Up OpenStack ===================== The recommended tool for installing and configuring the core OpenStack components is `Devstack`_. Refer to their documentation for getting Nova, Keystone, Glance, etc. up and running. .. _Devstack: http://devstack.org/
