How to install OpenStack Dashboard (horizon) for Cactus

OpenStack Dashboard is poorly documented. Nevertheless, here you will get it working. This solution works for StackOps distribution too:

# First: install dependencies: apt-get install -y git bzr python-setuptools python-pytools python-django # Change to /opt/ directory and create the necessary directories: cd /opt/ mkdir openstack-dashboard cd openstack-dashboard bzr init-repo . bzr branch lp:horizon cd horizon/

 

# revert it to revision 46, which works with cactus and doesn't need keystone. bzr revert -r 46 sudo bash run_tests.sh

 

# If the previous step is successful, edit the settings: vi openstack-dashboard/local/local_settings.py # Replace these with values from your novarc file: NOVA_DEFAULT_ENDPOINT = 'http://localhost:8773/services/Cloud' # EC2_URL NOVA_DEFAULT_REGION = 'nova' NOVA_ACCESS_KEY = 'admin' # EC2_ACCESS_KEY NOVA_SECRET_KEY = 'admin' # EC2_SECRET_KEY NOVA_ADMIN_USER = 'admin' # NOVA_USERNAME NOVA_PROJECT = 'admin' # project name, usually part of EC2_ACCESS_KEY, after : .

 

# prepare the dashboard cd openstack-dashboard/ source .dashboard-venv/bin/activate tools/with_venv.sh dashboard/manage.py syncdb # create a user which you will use to login to your nova page.

 

tools/with_venv.sh dashboard/manage.py runserver <ip-address>:8222  # Now go to your browser and point to <ip-address>:8222
