OpenStack HOWTO

Installation

This section contains a work-in-progress list of steps to get OpenStack up and running under Funtoo Linux:

# emerge rabbitmq-server
# rc-update add rabbitmq default
# rc

RabbitMQ is now running. Now let's create an openstack user with password foobar:

# rabbitmqctl add_user openstack foobar
Creating user "openstack" ...
...done.

Now, let's get Keystone up and running. Let's emerge it:

# emerge keystone

A working sample configuration file will be installed automatically at /etc/keystone/keystone.conf.

Note that admin_token is set to ADMIN by default. This is the master password for Keystone. You may want to change this to something harder to guess. We can disable admin_token later for enhanced security.

#  rc-update add keystone default
#  rc

By default, Keystone is configured to store its data in a SQLite database located at /etc/keystone/keystone.db. Let's initialize this database:

#  keystone-manage db_sync
#
