Install and configure (Ubuntu)

This section describes how to install and configure the Image service, code-named glance, on the controller node. For simplicity, this configuration stores images on the local file system.

Prerequisites

Before you install and configure the Image service, you must create a database, service credentials, and API endpoints.

  1. To create the database, complete these steps:

    • Use the database access client to connect to the database server as the root user:

      # mysql

    • Create the glance database:

      MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE glance;

    • Grant proper access to the glance database:

      MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON glance.* TO 'glance'@'localhost' \
  IDENTIFIED BY 'GLANCE_DBPASS';
MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON glance.* TO 'glance'@'%' \
  IDENTIFIED BY 'GLANCE_DBPASS';

      Replace GLANCE_DBPASS with a suitable password.

    • Exit the database access client.

  2. Source the admin credentials to gain access to admin-only CLI commands:

    $ . admin-openrc

  3. To create the service credentials, complete these steps:

    • Create the glance user:

      $ openstack user create --domain default --password-prompt glance

User Password:
Repeat User Password:
+---------------------+----------------------------------+
| Field               | Value                            |
+---------------------+----------------------------------+
| domain_id           | default                          |
| enabled             | True                             |
| id                  | 3f4e777c4062483ab8d9edd7dff829df |
| name                | glance                           |
| options             | {}                               |
| password_expires_at | None                             |
+---------------------+----------------------------------+

    • Add the admin role to the glance user and service project:

      $ openstack role add --project service --user glance admin

      Note

      This command provides no output.

    • Create the glance service entity:

      $ openstack service create --name glance \
  --description "OpenStack Image" image

+-------------+----------------------------------+
| Field       | Value                            |
+-------------+----------------------------------+
| description | OpenStack Image                  |
| enabled     | True                             |
| id          | 8c2c7f1b9b5049ea9e63757b5533e6d2 |
| name        | glance                           |
| type        | image                            |
+-------------+----------------------------------+

  4. Create the Image service API endpoints:

    $ openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne \
  image public http://controller:9292

+--------------+----------------------------------+
| Field        | Value                            |

| service_name | glance                           |
| service_type | image                            |
| url          | http://controller:9292           |
+--------------+----------------------------------+

$ openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne \
  image internal http://controller:9292

+--------------+----------------------------------+

$ openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne \
  image admin http://controller:9292

+--------------+----------------------------------+
| Field        | Value                            |
+--------------+----------------------------------+
| enabled      | True                             |

  1. Register quota limits (optional):

    If you decide to use per-tenant quotas in Glance, you must register the limits in Keystone first:

    $ openstack --os-cloud devstack-system-admin registered limit create \
  --service glance --default-limit 1000 --region RegionOne image_size_total

+---------------+----------------------------------+
| Field         | Value                            |
+---------------+----------------------------------+

    Be sure to also set use_keystone_quotas=True in your glance-api.conf file.

Install and configure components

Note

Default configuration files vary by distribution. You might need to add these sections and options rather than modifying existing sections and options. Also, an ellipsis (...) in the configuration snippets indicates potential default configuration options that you should retain.

  1. Install the packages:

    # apt install glance

  1. Edit the /etc/glance/glance-api.conf file and complete the following actions:

    • In the [database] section, configure database access:

      [database]
# ...
connection = mysql+pymysql://glance:GLANCE_DBPASS@controller/glance

      Replace GLANCE_DBPASS with the password you chose for the Image service database.

    • In the [keystone_authtoken] and [paste_deploy] sections, configure Identity service access:

      [keystone_authtoken]
# ...
www_authenticate_uri = http://controller:5000
auth_url = http://controller:5000
memcached_servers = controller:11211
auth_type = password
project_domain_name = Default
user_domain_name = Default
project_name = service
username = glance
password = GLANCE_PASS

[paste_deploy]
# ...
flavor = keystone

      Replace GLANCE_PASS with the password you chose for the glance user in the Identity service.

      Note

      Comment out or remove any other options in the [keystone_authtoken] section.

    • In the [glance_store] section, configure the local file system store and location of image files:

      [glance_store]
# ...
stores = file,http
default_store = file
filesystem_store_datadir = /var/lib/glance/images/

    • In the [oslo_limit] section, configure access to keystone:

      [oslo_limit]
auth_url = http://controller:5000
auth_type = password
user_domain_id = default
username = MY_SERVICE
system_scope = all
password = MY_PASSWORD
endpoint_id = ENDPOINT_ID
region_name = RegionOne

      Make sure that the MY_SERVICE account has reader access to system-scope resources (like limits):

      $ openstack role add --user MY_SERVICE --user-domain Default --system all reader

      See the oslo_limit docs for more information about configuring the unified limits client.

    • In the [DEFAULT] section, optionally enable per-tenant quotas:

      [DEFAULT]
use_keystone_quotas = True

      Note that you must have created the registered limits as described above if this is enabled.

  2. Populate the Image service database:

    # su -s /bin/sh -c "glance-manage db_sync" glance

    Note

    Ignore any deprecation messages in this output.

Finalize installation

  1. Restart the Image services:

    # service glance-api restart
