This section describes how to install and configure the dashboard on the controller node.
The only core service required by the dashboard is the Identity service. You can use the dashboard in combination with other services, such as Image service, Compute, and Networking. You can also use the dashboard in environments with stand-alone services such as Object Storage.
Note
This section assumes proper installation, configuration, and operation of the Identity service using the Apache HTTP server and Memcached service.
Note
Default configuration files vary by distribution. You might need
to add these sections and options rather than modifying existing
sections and options. Also, an ellipsis (...
) in the configuration
snippets indicates potential default configuration options that you
should retain.
Install the packages:
# zypper install openstack-dashboard
Configure the web server:
# cp /etc/apache2/conf.d/openstack-dashboard.conf.sample \
/etc/apache2/conf.d/openstack-dashboard.conf
# a2enmod rewrite
Edit the
/srv/www/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard/local/local_settings.py
file and complete the following actions:
Configure the dashboard to use OpenStack services on the
controller
node:
OPENSTACK_HOST = "controller"
Allow your hosts to access the dashboard:
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['one.example.com', 'two.example.com']
Note
ALLOWED_HOSTS
can also be ['*']
to accept all hosts. This may be
useful for development work, but is potentially insecure and should
not be used in production. See Django documentation
for further information.
Configure the memcached
session storage service:
SESSION_ENGINE = 'django.contrib.sessions.backends.cache'
CACHES = {
'default': {
'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.memcached.MemcachedCache',
'LOCATION': 'controller:11211',
}
}
Note
Comment out any other session storage configuration.
Enable the Identity API version 3:
OPENSTACK_KEYSTONE_URL = "http://%s:5000/v3" % OPENSTACK_HOST
Enable support for domains:
OPENSTACK_KEYSTONE_MULTIDOMAIN_SUPPORT = True
Configure API versions:
OPENSTACK_API_VERSIONS = {
"identity": 3,
"image": 2,
"volume": 2,
}
Configure Default
as the default domain for users that you create
via the dashboard:
OPENSTACK_KEYSTONE_DEFAULT_DOMAIN = "Default"
Configure user
as the default role for
users that you create via the dashboard:
OPENSTACK_KEYSTONE_DEFAULT_ROLE = "user"
If you chose networking option 1, disable support for layer-3 networking services:
OPENSTACK_NEUTRON_NETWORK = {
...
'enable_router': False,
'enable_quotas': False,
'enable_distributed_router': False,
'enable_ha_router': False,
'enable_lb': False,
'enable_firewall': False,
'enable_vpn': False,
'enable_fip_topology_check': False,
}
Optionally, configure the time zone:
TIME_ZONE = "TIME_ZONE"
Replace TIME_ZONE
with an appropriate time zone identifier.
For more information, see the list of time zones.
Restart the web server and session storage service:
# systemctl restart apache2.service memcached.service
Note
The systemctl restart
command starts each service if
not currently running.
