Stephen Finucane 5da2dc2060 setup: Remove pbr's wsgi_scripts
This is technical dead end and not something we're going to be able to
support long-term in pbr. We need to push users away from this. Doing so
highlights quite a few place where our docs need some work, particularly
in light of the recent removal of the eventlet servers.

Command-line Utilities

In this section you will find information on Nova's command line utilities.

Nova Management Commands

These commands are used to manage existing installations. They are designed to be run by operators in an environment where they have direct access to the nova database.

nova-manage nova-policy nova-status

Service Daemons

The service daemons make up a functioning nova environment. All of these are expected to be started by an init system, expect to read a nova.conf file, and daemonize correctly after starting up.

nova-compute nova-conductor nova-novncproxy nova-scheduler nova-serialproxy nova-spicehtml5proxy

WSGI Services

Starting in the 2025.2 release, the only way to deploy the compute and metadata APIs is via WSGI (uwsgi or apache/mod_wsgi). Refer to /admin/wsgi for more information.

Additional Tools

There are a few additional cli tools which nova services call when appropriate. This should not need to be called directly by operators, but they are documented for completeness and debugging if something goes wrong.

nova-rootwrap
