Add install guide for users and clean up README
* Add "Using Horizon" section to the docs, which describes how to install and configure Horizon. It is for operators who install Horizon from source code. * Clean up README.rst as much of the information is out-of-date and most of it is covered by the developer docs. * Minor update of page titles.

Getting Started
|
||||
===============
|
||||
Using Horizon
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
For local development, first create a virtualenv for the project.
|
||||
In the ``tools`` directory there is a script to create one for you::
|
||||
See ``doc/source/topics/install.rst`` about how to install Horizon
|
||||
in your OpenStack setup. It describes the example steps and
|
||||
has pointers for more detailed settings and configurations.
|
||||
|
||||
$ python tools/install_venv.py
|
||||
It is also available at http://docs.openstack.org/developer/horizon/topics/install.html.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
Getting Started for Developers
|
||||
==============================
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _Devstack: http://devstack.org/
|
||||
|
||||
.. 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
|
||||
``doc/source/quickstart.rst`` or
|
||||
http://docs.openstack.org/developer/horizon/quickstart.html
|
||||
describes how to setup Horizon development environment and start development.

===================
|
||||
|

Installation
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
1. Compile translation message catalogs for internationalization.
|
||||
This step is not required if you do not need to support languages
|
||||
other than English. GNU ``gettext`` tool is required to compile
|
||||
message catalogs::
|
||||
|
||||
$ sudo apt-get install gettext
|
||||
$ ./run_tests.sh --compilemessages
|
||||
|
||||
This command compiles translation message catalogs within Python
|
||||
virtualenv named ``.venv``. After this step, you can remove
|
||||
``.venv`` directory safely.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Install Horizon python module into your system. Run the following
|
||||
in the top directory.::
|
||||
|
||||
$ sudo pip install .
|
||||
|
||||
3. Create ``openstack_dashboard/local/local_settings.py``.
|
||||
It is usually a good idea to copy
|
||||
``openstack_dashboard/local/local_settings.py.example`` and edit it.
|
||||
At least we need to customize the following variables in this file.
|
||||
|
||||
* ``ALLOWED_HOSTS`` (unless ``DEBUG`` is ``True``)
|
||||
* ``OPENSTACK_KEYSTONE_URL``
|
||||
|
||||
For more details, please refer to :doc:`deployment` and :doc:`settings`.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Set up a web server with WSGI support.
|
||||
It is optional but recommended in production deployments.
|
||||
For example, install Apache web server on Ubuntu::
|
||||
|
||||
$ sudo apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-wsgi
|
||||
|
||||
Then configure the web server to host OpenStack Dashboard via WSGI.
|
||||
For apache2 web server, you may need to create
|
||||
``/etc/apache2/site-available/horizon.conf``.
|
||||
The template in devstack is a good example of the file.
|
||||
http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-dev/devstack/tree/files/apache-horizon.template
|
||||
|
||||
5. Finally, enable the above configuration and restart the web server.::
|
||||
|
||||
$ sudo a2ensite horizon
|
||||
$ sudo service apache2 restart
|
||||
|
||||
