Install from source¶

Install the services¶

Retrieve and install cloudkitty:

git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack/cloudkitty.git
cd cloudkitty
python setup.py install

This procedure installs the cloudkitty python library and the following executables:

• cloudkitty-api: API service
• cloudkitty-processor: Processing service (collecting and rating)
• cloudkitty-dbsync: Tool to create and upgrade the database schema
• cloudkitty-storage-init: Tool to initiate the storage backend
• cloudkitty-writer: Reporting tool

Install sample configuration files:

mkdir /etc/cloudkitty
tox -e genconfig
cp etc/cloudkitty/cloudkitty.conf.sample /etc/cloudkitty/cloudkitty.conf
cp etc/cloudkitty/policy.json /etc/cloudkitty
cp etc/cloudkitty/api_paste.ini /etc/cloudkitty

Create the log directory:

mkdir /var/log/cloudkitty/

Install the client¶

Retrieve and install cloudkitty client:

git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack/python-cloudkittyclient.git
cd python-cloudkittyclient
python setup.py install

Install the dashboard module¶

1. Retrieve and install cloudkitty’s dashboard:

   git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack/cloudkitty-dashboard.git
   cd cloudkitty-dashboard
   python setup.py install
   

2. Find where the python packages are installed:

   PY_PACKAGES_PATH=`pip --version | cut -d' ' -f4`
   

3. Add the enabled file to the horizon settings or installation. Depending on your setup, you might need to add it to /usr/share or directly in the horizon python package:

   # If horizon is installed by packages:
   ln -sf $PY_PACKAGES_PATH/cloudkittydashboard/enabled/_[0-9]*.py \
   /usr/share/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard/enabled/
   
   # Directly from sources:
   ln -sf $PY_PACKAGES_PATH/cloudkittydashboard/enabled/_[0-9]*.py \
   $PY_PACKAGES_PATH/openstack_dashboard/enabled/
   

4. Restart the web server hosting Horizon.
