=================
Add the dashboard
=================
The OpenStack dashboard, also known as
`Horizon <https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/horizon>`__
is a Web interface that enables cloud administrators
and users to manage various OpenStack resources and services.
The dashboard enables web-based interactions with the
OpenStack Compute cloud controller through the OpenStack APIs.
Horizon enables you to customize the brand of the dashboard.
Horizon provides a set of core classes and reusable templates and tools.
This example deployment uses an Apache web server.

Next steps
~~~~~~~~~~
Your OpenStack environment now includes the dashboard. You can
launch an instance or add
more services to your environment in the following chapters.
After you install and configure the dashboard, you can
complete the following tasks:
.. TODO: add link to "launch an instance" after creation.
* Provide users with a public IP address, a username, and a password
so they can access the dashboard through a web browser. In case of
any SSL certificate connection problems, point the server
IP address to a domain name, and give users access.
* Customize your dashboard. See section
`Customize the dashboad <http://docs.openstack.org/admin-guide-cloud/
content/ch_install-dashboard.html#dashboard-custom-brand>`__
in the `OpenStack Cloud Administrator Guide
<http://docs.openstack.org/admin-guide-cloud/content/>`__
for information on setting up colors, logos, and site titles.
* Set up session storage. See section
`Set up session storage for the dashboard
<http://docs.openstack.org/admin-guide-cloud/content/
dashboard-sessions.html#dashboard-sessions>`__
in the `OpenStack Cloud Administrator Guide
<http://docs.openstack.org/admin-guide-cloud/content>`__
for information on user session data.
* To use the VNC client with the dashboard, the browser
must support HTML5 Canvas and HTML5 WebSockets.
For details about browsers that support noVNC, see
`README
<https://github.com/kanaka/noVNC/blob/master/README.md>`__
and `browser support
