Install from source

Note

In the commands below, substitute “<release>” for your version of choice, such as “queens” or “rocky”.

If you use the development version, replace “stable/<release>” with “master”.

Install the services

Retrieve and install cloudkitty:

git clone https://opendev.org/openstack/cloudkitty.git
cd cloudkitty
pip install -c https://opendev.org/openstack/requirements/raw/branch/stable/<release>/upper-constraints.txt .

This procedure installs the cloudkitty python library and the following executables:

  • cloudkitty-api: API service

  • cloudkitty-processor: Processing service (collecting and rating)

  • cloudkitty-dbsync: Tool to create and upgrade the database schema

  • cloudkitty-storage-init: Tool to initiate the storage backend

Install sample configuration files:

mkdir /etc/cloudkitty
tox -e genconfig
cp etc/cloudkitty/cloudkitty.conf.sample /etc/cloudkitty/cloudkitty.conf
cp etc/cloudkitty/policy.yaml /etc/cloudkitty
cp etc/cloudkitty/api_paste.ini /etc/cloudkitty

Create the log directory:

mkdir /var/log/cloudkitty/

Install the client

Retrieve and install cloudkitty client:

git clone https://opendev.org/openstack/python-cloudkittyclient.git
cd python-cloudkittyclient
pip install -c https://opendev.org/openstack/requirements/raw/branch/stable/<release>/upper-constraints.txt .

Install the dashboard module

  1. Retrieve and install cloudkitty’s dashboard:

    git clone https://opendev.org/openstack/cloudkitty-dashboard.git
cd cloudkitty-dashboard
pip install -c https://opendev.org/openstack/requirements/raw/branch/stable/<release>/upper-constraints.txt .

  2. Find where the python packages are installed:

    PY_PACKAGES_PATH=`pip --version | cut -d' ' -f4`

  3. Add the enabled file to the horizon settings or installation. Depending on your setup, you might need to add it to /usr/share or directly in the horizon python package:

    # If horizon is installed by packages:
ln -sf $PY_PACKAGES_PATH/cloudkittydashboard/enabled/_[0-9]*.py \
/usr/share/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard/enabled/

# Directly from sources:
ln -sf $PY_PACKAGES_PATH/cloudkittydashboard/enabled/_[0-9]*.py \
$PY_PACKAGES_PATH/openstack_dashboard/enabled/

  4. Restart the web server hosting Horizon.
