Accessing the GUI

Part of the Undercloud installation is also Tuskar-UI which you can use to drive the deployment. It runs on the instack virtual machine on http://localhost/dashboard

Example of how to access Tuskar-UI:

Considering that Tuskar-UI runs in a instack VM and virt host is a remote host machine, to access the UI in the browser, follow these steps:

  1. On host machine create ssh tunnel from instack vm to virt host:

    ssh -g -N -L 8080:127.0.0.1:80 root@<undercloud_vm_ip>
  2. On instack VM edit /etc/openstack-dashboard/local_settings and add virt host hostname to ALLOWED_HOSTS array

  3. Restart Apache:

    systemctl restart httpd
  4. Allow port 8080 on host machine:

    sudo iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT
  5. Navigate to http://<virt_host_hostname>:8080/dashboard in the browser

When logging into the dashboard the default user and password are found in the /root/stackrc file on the instack virtual machine, OS_USERNAME and OS_PASSWORD.
