Thread-topic: [Openstack] dashboard in oneric
Below are the things I did trying to install Dashboard using Essex2 code (after I successfully installed Nova and Glance from their Essex2 PPAs, and Keystone from its Essex2 source code on the same server).

I hope that any of the Dashboard developers can provide instructions on how to install Dashboard from a milestone-release source code (Essex2 or Essex3) while using MySQL for DB and Apache2 as the web server, AND NOT by using virtual-env + sqlite.

 

  

Thank you very much again for help and if you have time to answer my question it would be great.

 

George

 

 

Installed Horizon first:

cd /usr/local/src

wget https://github.com/openstack/horizon/zipball/essex-2

unzip essex-2

cd openstack-horizon-e7d7643/

cd horizon/

python setup.py build

python setup.py install

 

 

Installed Dashboard:

 

cd openstack-dashboard/

cp local/local_settings.py.example local/local_settings.py 

vi local/local_settings.py  and here I changed:

 

import os

DEBUG = True

TEMPLATE_DEBUG = DEBUG

PROD = False

USE_SSL = False

LOCAL_PATH = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))

DATABASES = {

    'default': {

        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',

        'NAME': 'horizon',

        'USER': 'horizon',

        'PASSWORD': 'horizonpass',

        'HOST': '127.0.0.1',

        'default-character-set': 'utf8'

    }

}

CACHE_BACKEND = 'locmem://'

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend'

HORIZON_CONFIG = {

    'dashboards': ('nova', 'syspanel', 'settings',),

    'default_dashboard': 'nova',

    'user_home': 'dashboard.views.user_home',

}

OPENSTACK_HOST = "127.0.0.1"

OPENSTACK_KEYSTONE_URL = "http://localhost:5000/v2.0/"; <http://localhost:5000/v2.0/> 

OPENSTACK_KEYSTONE_ADMIN_URL = "http://localhost:35357/v2.0"; <http://localhost:35357/v2.0> 

OPENSTACK_KEYSTONE_DEFAULT_ROLE = "Member"

OPENSTACK_ADMIN_TOKEN = "999888777666"

SWIFT_PAGINATE_LIMIT = 1000

QUANTUM_ENABLED = False

QUANTUM_URL = '%s'  % OPENSTACK_HOST

QUANTUM_PORT = '9696'

QUANTUM_TENANT = '1234'

QUANTUM_CLIENT_VERSION='0.1'

COMPUTE_HOST_RAM_GB = 16

 

cd /usr/local/src/openstack-horizon-e7d7643/openstack-dashboard

python setup.py build

python setup.py install

 

Created a horizon DB:

mysql -uroot -ppass -e 'CREATE DATABASE horizon;'

echo "GRANT ALL ON horizon.* TO 'horizon'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'horizonpass'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;" | mysql -uroot -ppass

 

Installed Apache:

apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-wsgi

 

mkdir /usr/local/src/openstack-horizon-e7d7643/openstack-dashboard/.blackhole

 

Created the Apache config:

cat /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default 

<VirtualHost *:80>

    WSGIScriptAlias / /usr/local/src/openstack-horizon-e7d7643/openstack-dashboard/dashboard/wsgi/django.wsgi

Synced the DB and HERE I RECEIVED ERRORS caused by not reading the local_settings.py file (I think)

But I still cannot import it:

I have installed OpenStack Diablo (version 2011.3.1 released January 20, 2012) on Linux Ubuntu Oneiric (11.10), including a working version of the essex-dev dashboard (Horizon).
 
By installing the development version of the dashboard, you can manage almost everything, including:
 
- In the project panel: instances, volumes, floating IPs, security groups, images, and instance snapshots.
- In the admin panel: instances, services, flavors, images, tenants (projects), users, and quotas.
 
In both panels, you also have status and usage information.

Versions and installation methods:
 
* Version 2011.3.1 (stable/diablo) for:
 
- Nova (ppa/deb packages)
- Glance (ppa/deb packages)
- Keystone (ppa/deb packages)
 
* Version 2012.1-dev (dev/essex) for:
 
- Dashboard (git/source package)

You can find the detailed procedure to install Nova/Glance/Keystone/Horizon on Ubuntu Oneiric here:

Install Your Own OpenStack Cloud - Diablo Version 2011.3.1 with Keystone and Horizon
http://dodeeric.wordpress.com/2012/01/24/install-your-own-openstack-cloud-diablo-edition-2011-3-1-with-keystone-and-horizon

Bellow the part concerning the installation of the dashboard:

Install the dashboard:
 
Get the dashboard source from Github, version essex-2-46-g580ecc2 (dev/essex):

# cd /usr/local/
# wget https://github.com/openstack/horizon/tarball/580ecc20bc04fdb74e1a8416feddcc84de745cd6
# mv 580ecc20bc04fdb74e1a8416feddcc84de745cd6 horizon-e2-46-g580ecc2.tar.gz
# tar -xzvf horizon-e2-46-g580ecc2.tar.gz
# mv openstack-horizon-580ecc2 horizon-e2-46-g580ecc2 

Install some required packages:

# aptitude install python-django python-setuptools python-dev 

Adapt the configuration file:

# cd /usr/local/horizon-e2-46-g580ecc2/openstack-dashboard/local/
# cp local_settings.py.example local_settings.py
# vi local_settings.py 

And adapt two parameters as follow:

OPENSTACK_HOST = "node1"
QUANTUM_ENABLED = False 

Install a Python virtual environment:

# cd /usr/local/horizon-e2-46-g580ecc2/openstack-dashboard/tools/
# easy_install virtualenv 

Install the dashboard in the virtual environment (that will take some time):

# python install_venv.py 

The install should finish with the following messages (if not, start the install again):

Installing horizon module in development mode...
OpenStack Dashboard development environment setup is complete.
To activate the virtualenv for the extent of your current shell session you can run:
$ source .dashboard-venv/bin/activate 

Activate the virtual environment:

# cd /usr/local/horizon-e2-46-g580ecc2/openstack-dashboard/.dashboard-venv/bin/
# source activate 

Create the SQLite DB with its tables:

# cd /usr/local/horizon-e2-46-g580ecc2/openstack-dashboard/dashboard/
# ./manage.py syncdb 

You will see the following messages:

Creating tables ...
Creating table django_session
Installing custom SQL ...
Installing indexes ...
No fixtures found. 

Install Openstackx diablo (extention for nova-api diablo):

# cd /usr/local/
# wget https://github.com/cloudbuilders/openstackx/tarball/rcb_v1.1
# mv rcb_v1.1 openstackx-diablo.tar.gz
# tar -xzvf openstackx-diablo.tar.gz
# mv cloudbuilders-openstackx-53fd616 openstackx-diablo 

Adapt the nova.conf file as follow:

# vi /etc/nova/nova.conf 

And add the following parameter:

--osapi_extensions_path=/usr/local/openstackx-diablo/extensions 

Launch the Dashboard on port tcp/8000:

# cd /usr/local/horizon-e2-46-g580ecc2/openstack-dashboard/dashboard/
# ./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 

You will see the following messages:

Django version 1.3.1, using settings 'dashboard.settings'
Development server is running at http://0.0.0.0:8000/
Quit the server with CONTROL-C. 
You can now access the Dashboard with a web browser at the address: http://localhost:8000 or http://node1:8000 or http://192.168.1.201:8000
 
To be able to connect on the console of the instances via VNC, you need to install the nova-vncproxy package and the noVNC software (it is a slightly modified version of noVNC which can work with the nova-vnc-proxy).
 
Install nova-vncproxy:

# aptitude install nova-vncproxy 

nova-vncproxy will not start automatically: it gives the following error:
INFO nova.wsgi [-] Starting TCP server /usr/bin/nova-vncproxy on 0.0.0.0:843
CRITICAL nova [-] [Errno 13] Permission denied 
Start it manually in a screen with root:

# nova-vncproxy 

Install noVNC:

# cd /var/lib/nova/
# git clone https://github.com/openstack/noVNC.git 

Adapt the nova.conf file as follow:

# vi /etc/nova/nova.conf 

And add this parameter:

--vncproxy_url=http://node1:6080

FWIW, I got horizon/keystone from devstack working on a separate host to my Ubuntu ppa openstack host.  Couldn't get them on the one host due to python libs getting installed to different locations.

	./stack -c horizon -a install -d $HOME/youropenstackplace (will install all of horizons dependencies also)
	
	./stack -c horizon -a start -d $HOME/youropenstackplace (should start horizon + dependencies, haven't messed around with this yet, might need a little work)
