Installation¶

Enabling in DevStack¶

The DevStack plugin for Blazar automatically sets up blazar-dashboard if Horizon is enabled, which is the case by default.

Manual Installation¶

Begin by cloning the Horizon and Blazar dashboard repositories:

git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack/horizon
git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack/blazar-dashboard

Create a virtual environment and install Horizon dependencies:

cd horizon
tox -e runserver --notest

Set up your local_settings.py file:

cp openstack_dashboard/local/local_settings.py.example openstack_dashboard/local/local_settings.py

Open up the copied local_settings.py file in your preferred text editor. You will want to customize several settings:

• OPENSTACK_HOST should be configured with the hostname of your OpenStack server. Verify that the OPENSTACK_KEYSTONE_URL and OPENSTACK_KEYSTONE_DEFAULT_ROLE settings are correct for your environment. (They should be correct unless you modified your OpenStack server to change them.)

Install Blazar dashboard with all dependencies in your virtual environment:

.tox/runserver/bin/pip install -e ../blazar-dashboard/

And enable it in Horizon:

ln -s /path/to/blazar-dashboard/blazar_dashboard/enabled/_90_project_reservations_panelgroup.py openstack_dashboard/local/enabled
ln -s /path/to/blazar-dashboard/blazar_dashboard/enabled/_90_admin_reservation_panelgroup.py openstack_dashboard/local/enabled
ln -s /path/to/blazar-dashboard/blazar_dashboard/enabled/_91_project_reservations_leases_panel.py openstack_dashboard/local/enabled
ln -s /path/to/blazar-dashboard/blazar_dashboard/enabled/_91_admin_reservation_hosts_panel.py openstack_dashboard/local/enabled

Start horizon and it runs with the newly enabled Blazar dashboard.

Or to test the plugin run:

tox -e runserver -- 0.0.0.0:8080

to have the application start on port 8080 and the horizon dashboard will be available in your browser at http://localhost:8080/
