This is a proof of concept of how plugin-based configuration of OpenStack dashboards could be realized. Additional plugins add their configuration file in the opestack_dashboard/enabled/ directory (the exact location is up for discussion, we will probably want a whole hierarchy of locations, with the possibility of overriding settings). An example file _50_tuskar.py is added to show how an additional dashboard could plug into this system. If you have tuskar_ui installed, this would add Tuskar to Horizon.

Horizon (OpenStack Dashboard)
Horizon is a Django-based project aimed at providing a complete
OpenStack Dashboard along with an extensible framework for building new
dashboards from reusable components. The
openstack_dashboard
module is a reference implementation of
a Django site that uses the horizon
app to provide
web-based interactions with the various OpenStack projects.
For release management:
For blueprints and feature specifications:
For issue tracking:
Getting Started
For local development, first create a virtualenv for the project. In
the tools
directory there is a script to create one for
you:
$ python tools/install_venv.py
Alternatively, the run_tests.sh
script will also install
the environment for you and then run the full test suite to verify
everything is installed and functioning correctly.
Now that the virtualenv is created, you need to configure your local
environment. To do this, create a local_settings.py
file in
the openstack_dashboard/local/
directory. There is a
local_settings.py.example
file there that may be used as a
template.
If all is well you should able to run the development server locally:
$ tools/with_venv.sh manage.py runserver
or, as a shortcut:
$ ./run_tests.sh --runserver
Setting Up OpenStack
The recommended tool for installing and configuring the core OpenStack components is Devstack. Refer to their documentation for getting Nova, Keystone, Glance, etc. up and running.
Note
The minimum required set of OpenStack services running includes the following:
- Nova (compute, api, scheduler, network, and volume services)
- Glance
- Keystone
Optional support is provided for Swift.
Development
For development, start with the getting started instructions above. Once you have a working virtualenv and all the necessary packages, read on.
If dependencies are added to either horizon
or
openstack-dashboard
, they should be added to
requirements.txt
.
The run_tests.sh
script invokes tests and analyses on
both of these components in its process, and it is what Jenkins uses to
verify the stability of the project. If run before an environment is set
up, it will ask if you wish to install one.
To run the unit tests:
$ ./run_tests.sh
Building Contributor Documentation
This documentation is written by contributors, for contributors.
The source is maintained in the doc/source
folder using
reStructuredText
and built by Sphinx
Building Automatically:
$ ./run_tests.sh --docs
Building Manually:
$ export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=local.local_settings $ python doc/generate_autodoc_index.py $ sphinx-build -b html doc/source build/sphinx/html
Results are in the build/sphinx/html directory
