Openstack-dashboard Development Environment Building and openstack Building

Openstack-dashboard Development Environment Building and openstack Building

1. during the development process, it is generally necessary to run the dashboard component separately in your local linux system (Ubuntu or centos), which is preferred. If you are not used to it, you can use vmwareworkstation to install a virtual machine and switch over at any time.

2. install some required packages for the dashboard, including openstack-dashboard memcached, configure the/etc/openstack-dashboard/local_settings file, modify the OPENSTACK_HOST file, this points to the ip address of the server installed on the keystone server, which is generally a controller.

3. Set up the compiling environment. I chose eclipse + pydev. In fact, pycharm is more convenient to use, but it is only necessary to compile this item first. After changing it, it is difficult to adapt.

4. Create a project under eclipse and copy/usr/share/openstack-dashboard horizon openstack_auth to the project directory,

5. Set the setting. py file, debug = true,

6. manage. py runserver 0.0.0.0: 8000 -- insecure (note, -- insecure is especially important. Otherwise, you will find that static files cannot be loaded ,)

How to build an openstack-dashboard Development Environment

Build a dashboard Development Environment
The following are all normal user identities
On the node that runs the controller (the node of the dashboard), perform the following operations.
The powerful Django provides the Web server architecture function. Test the development environment, instead of modifying the normal dashboard.
As a development test, dashboard provides a script method for building a development environment.
This is actually a simple configuration of web servers. There are two methods to configure multiple different URLs on a node:
One is to use multiple IP addresses based on IP addresses, because linux can set multiple IP addresses for one Nic.
Second, use different ports for different URLs Based on ports. This is the method used in this article.
The main steps are to set up the environment, configure access parameters, and run the service.
