Change things from this point on Python bindings to the OpenStack Cinder API =========================================== .. image:: https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/python-cinderclient.svg :target: https://pypi.org/project/python-cinderclient/ :alt: Latest Version This is a client for the OpenStack Cinder API. There's a Python API (the ``cinderclient`` module), and a command-line script (``cinder``). Each implements 100% of the OpenStack Cinder API. See the `OpenStack CLI Reference`_ for information on how to use the ``cinder`` command-line tool. You may also want to look at the `OpenStack API documentation`_. .. _OpenStack CLI Reference: https://docs.openstack.org/python-openstackclient/latest/cli/ .. _OpenStack API documentation: https://docs.openstack.org/api-quick-start/ The project is hosted on `Launchpad`_, where bugs can be filed.

You'll need to provide your OpenStack username and password. You can do this with the ``--os-username``, ``--os-password`` and ``--os-tenant-name`` params, but it's easier to just set them as environment variables:: export OS_USERNAME=openstack export OS_PASSWORD=yadayada export OS_TENANT_NAME=myproject You will also need to define the authentication url with ``--os-auth-url`` and the version of the API with ``--os-volume-api-version``. Or set them as environment variables as well. Since Block Storage API V2 is officially deprecated, you are encouraged to set ``OS_VOLUME_API_VERSION=3``. If you are using Keystone, you need to set the ``OS_AUTH_URL`` to the keystone endpoint:: export OS_AUTH_URL=http://controller:5000/v3 export OS_VOLUME_API_VERSION=3 Since Keystone can return multiple regions in the Service Catalog, you can specify the one you want with ``--os-region-name`` (or ``export OS_REGION_NAME``). It defaults to the first in the list returned. You'll find complete documentation on the shell by running ``cinder help``:: usage: cinder [--version] [-d] [--os-auth-system ] [--service-type ] [--service-name ] [--volume-service-name ] [--os-endpoint-type ] [--endpoint-type ] [--os-volume-api-version ] [--retries ] [--profile HMAC_KEY] [--os-auth-strategy ] [--os-username ] [--os-password ] [--os-tenant-name ] [--os-tenant-id ] [--os-auth-url ] [--os-user-id ] [--os-user-domain-id ] [--os-user-domain-name ] [--os-project-id ] [--os-project-name ] [--os-project-domain-id ] [--os-project-domain-name ] [--os-region-name ] [--os-token ] [--os-url ] [--insecure] [--os-cacert ] [--os-cert ] [--os-key ] [--timeout ] ...
