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

  2. Clone the Valence code from git repo.

    $ git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack/rsc

3. Execute the 'install_valence.sh' file present in the Valence root directory. The install script will automatically install the dependencies listed in the requirements.txt file.

$ sudo bash install_valence.sh

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

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

  2. Check the PYTHON_HOME and other variables in /etc/init/valence.conf

  3. Start valence service

    $ sudo service valence start

  4. 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/openstack-valence
