Use Heat Dashboard in DevStack

Set up your local.conf to enable heat-dashboard:

[[local|localrc]]
enable_plugin heat-dashboard https://git.openstack.org/openstack/heat-dashboard

Note

You also need to install Heat itself into DevStack to use Heat Dashboard.

Manual Installation

Clone both Horizon and Heat Dashboard repositories:

git clone https://github.com/openstack/horizon
git clone https://github.com/openstack/heat-dashboard

Create a virtual environment and install Horizon relevant packages:

pip install -r horizon/requirements.txt

Create your local_settings.py file:

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

Open newly created local_settings.py with your text editor, and set some parameter to connect to your OpenStack environment:

• Set OPENSTACK_HOST as hostname or IP address 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 Heat Dashboard with all relevant packages to your Horizon environment:

pip install -e ./heat-dashboard/

Enable heat-dashboard plugin in your Horizon environment:

cp heat-dashboard/heat_dashboard/enabled/* \
  horizon/openstack_dashboard/local/enabled

Copy Heat policy file to your Horizon environment:

cp heat-dashboard/etc/heat_policy.json \
  horizon/openstack_dashboard/conf

Add 'orchestration' key to POLICY_FILES value in local_settings.py:

POLICY_FILES = {
    'identity': 'keystone_policy.json',
    'compute': 'nova_policy.json',
    'volume': 'cinder_policy.json',
    'image': 'glance_policy.json',
    'orchestration': 'heat_policy.json', <-- Add this if it does not exist
    'network': 'neutron_policy.json',
}

Finally you can launch Horizon with Heat Dashboard plugin:

cd horizon
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8080

Now you can connect to your Horizon including Heat Dashboard plugin from your browser with URL http://localhost:8080/.
