Using Glare as a storage for packages

DevStack installation

1. Enable Glare service in DevStack

   To enable the Glare service in DevStack, edit the local.conf file:

   $ cat local.conf
   [[local|localrc]]
   enable_service g-glare
   

2. Run DevStack:

   $ ./stack.sh
   

   Result Glare service is installed with DevStack. You can find logs in g-glare screen session.

3. Install the muranoartifact plug-in from murano/contrib

   $ cd $DEST/murano/contrib/glance/
   $ sudo pip install -e .
   

4. Restart Glare

5. Set Glare as packages service in murano-engine. For this, edit the [engine] section in the murano.conf file. By default, murano.conf is located in the /etc/murano directory

   [engine]
   
   packages_service = glare
   

6. Restart murano-engine

   Note

   You also can use glance as a value of the packages_service option for the same behaviour

7. Enable Glare in murano-dashboard. For this, modify the following line in the _50_murano.py file

   MURANO_USE_GLARE = True
   

   By default, the _50_murano.py file is located in $HORIZON_DIR/openstack_dashboard/local/local_settings.d/.

8. Restart the apache2 service. Now murano-dashboard will retrieve packages from Glare.

9. Log in to Dashboard and navigate to Applications > Manage > Packages to view the empty list of packages. Alternatively, use the murano command.

10. Use --murano-packages-service option to specify backend, used by murano command. Set it to glare for using Glare

    Note

    You also can use glance as value of --murano-packages-service option or environment variable MURANO_PACKAGES_SERVICE for same behaviour

    • View list of packages:

      $ source {DEVSTACK_SOURCE_DIR}/openrc admin admin
      $ murano --murano-packages-service=glare  package-list
      
      +----+------+-----+--------+--------+-----------+------+---------+
      | ID | Name | FQN | Author | Active | Is Public | Type | Version |
      +----+------+-----+--------+--------+-----------+------+---------+
      +----+------+-----+--------+--------+-----------+------+---------+
      

    • Importing Core library

      $ cd $DEST/murano/meta/io.murano/
      $ zip io.murano.zip -r *
      $ murano --murano-packages-service=glare  package-import \
          --is-public /opt/stack/murano/meta/io.murano/io.murano.zip
      
      Importing package io.murano
      +--------------------------------------+--------------+-----------+-----------+--------+-----------+---------+---------+
      | ID                                   | Name         | FQN       | Author    | Active | Is Public | Type    | Version |
      +--------------------------------------+--------------+-----------+-----------+--------+-----------+---------+---------+

Set up Glare API entrypoint manually

If you do not plan to get Glare service from keystone application catalog, specify where g-glare service is running.

1. Specify Glare URL in murano.conf.It is http://0.0.0.0:9494 by default and can be changed by setting bind_host and bind_port options in the glance-glare.conf file.

   [glare]
   
   url = http://<GLARE_API_URL>:<GLARE_API_PORT>
   

2. Specify Glare URL in the Dashboard settings file, _50_murano.py :

   GLARE_API_URL = 'http://<GLARE_API>:<GLARE_API_PORT>'
   

3. Set the GLARE_URL environment variable for python-muranoclient. Alternatively, use the --glare-url option in CLI.

   $ murano --murano-packages-service=glare --glare-url=http://0.0.0.0:9494  package-list
