Image Service API

This repository is now frozen-in-time and will not accept new patches. To update Image API information, please submit patches to http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/glance-specs for a new API feature and to http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/api-site for implemented API information.

It was the original holder for API information for the OpenStack Image Service, also known as Glance. The Glance project provides services for discovering, registering, and retrieving virtual machine images. The Image Service provides a RESTful API that allows querying of VM image metadata as well as retrieval of the actual image.

VM images made available through Glance can be stored in a variety of locations from simple filesystems to object-storage systems like the OpenStack Swift project.

Prerequisites

Apache Maven must be installed to build the documentation.

To install Maven 3 for Ubuntu 12.04 and later, and Debian wheezy and later:

apt-get install maven

On Fedora 20 and later:

yum install maven

Building

The API is in the openstack-image-service-api directory.

To build a specific guide, look for a pom.xml file within a subdirectory, then run the mvn command in that directory. For example:

cd doc/image-api-v1
mvn clean generate-sources

The generated PDF documentation file is:

doc/image-api-v1/target/docbkx/webhelp/api/openstack-image-service/1.1/os-image-service-devguide-1.1.pdf

The root of the generated HTML documentation is:

doc/image-api-v1/target/docbkx/webhelp/api/openstack-image-service/1.1/content/index.html

Testing of changes and building of the manual

Install the python tox package and run tox from the top-level directory to use the same tests that are done as part of our Jenkins gating jobs.

If you like to run individual tests, run:

tox -e checkniceness - to run the niceness tests

tox -e checksyntax - to run syntax checks

tox -e checkdeletions - to check that no deleted files are referenced

tox -e checkbuild - to actually build the manual

tox will use the openstack-doc-tools package for execution of these tests. openstack-doc-tools has a requirement on maven for the build check.
