Ironic-UI Installation¶

Please note that the following instructions assume that you have an existing installation of the OpenStack Horizon dashboard application. For Horizon installation please see http://docs.openstack.org/developer/horizon/quickstart.html

1. Clone the Ironic UI repository:

   git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack/ironic-ui
   

2. Change into the root directory of your horizon installation and activate the python virtualenv. Example:

   source .venv/bin/activate
   

   Note

   The .venv folder is pre-installed when horizon is setup with ./run_tests.sh. Do not attempt to reinstall the virtual environment.

3. Copy the _2200_ironic.py file from ironic_ui/enabled/_2200_ironic.py file to horizon/openstack_dashboard/local/enabled directory. Example, set as if being executed from the root of the ironic-ui repository:

   cp ./ironic_ui/enabled/_2200_ironic.py ../horizon/openstack_dashboard/local/enabled
   

4. Change into the ironic-ui repository and package the plugin:

   pip install -r requirements.txt -e .
   

   This will build and install the ironic-ui plugin into the active virtual environment associated with your horizon installation. The plugin is installed in “editable” mode as a link back to your ironic-ui plugin directory.

5. Change back into the horizon repository and bring up your environment:

   ./run_tests.sh --runserver
   

   The Bare Metal service should now be visible in the Horizon navigation.
