Download and Installation

The following steps capture how to install valence. All installation steps require super user permissions.

Valence installation

  1. Install software dependencies

    $ sudo apt-get install git python-pip rabbitmq-server libyaml-0-2 python-dev

  2. Configure RabbitMq Server

    $ sudo rabbitmqctl add_user valence valence #use this username/pwd in valence.conf

    $ sudo rabbitmqctl set_user_tags valence administrator

    $ sudo rabbitmqctl set_permissions valence ".*" ".*" ".*"

  3. Clone the Valence code from git repo and change the directory to root Valence folder.

  4. Install all necessary software pre-requisites using the pip requirements file.

    $ sudo -E pip install -r requirements.txt

  5. Execute the 'install_valence.sh' file the Valence root directory.

    $ ./install_valence.sh

  6. Check the values in valence.conf located at /etc/valence/valence.conf

    set the ip/credentials of podm for which this Valence will interact

    set the rabbitmq user/password to the one given above(Step 2)

  7. Check the values in /etc/init/valence-api.conf, /etc/init/valence-controller.conf

  8. Start api and controller services

    $ sudo service valence-api start

    $ sudo service valence-controller start

  9. Logs are located at /var/logs/valence/

GUI installation

Please refer to the installation steps in the ui/README file.

Components

Valence follows the typical OpenStack project setup. The components are listed below:

valence-api

A pecan based daemon to expose Valence REST APIs. The api service communicates to the controller through AMQP.

valence-controller --------------The controller implements all the handlers for Plasma-api. It reads requests from the AMQP queue, process it and send the reponse back to the caller.

valence-ui --------valence-ui provides a GUI interface to invoke Valence APIs.

Features

Please refer the Valence blueprints for supported and in-the-pipeline features. https://blueprints.launchpad.net/plasma
