Ironic-UI Installation¶

Manual 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.

6. Start the server in test mode with the npm run test command.

7. Access the test page in order to initate tests.

   http://localhost:8000/jasmine/?spec=horizon.dashboard.admin.ironic

Installation with DevStack¶

In order to use the Ironic UI with devstack, you will need to enable the UI plugin separately in your installation local.conf file.

This is done in a similar fashion to enabling Ironic for devstack.

Make sure you have horizon enabled, which is the default in devstack.

Then, enable the Ironic UI plugin appending the following line to the end of the local.conf file, just after Ironic plugin enablement:

enable_plugin ironic-ui https://github.com/openstack/ironic-ui

After this, you can run ./stack.sh from the devstack directory.

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