Note that Senlin client is also installed when following the instructions.

Manual Installation¶

$ cd /opt/stack/senlin
$ sudo pip install -e .

This can be done using the setup-service script under the tools folder.

$ source ~/devstack/openrc admin
$ cd /opt/stack/senlin/tools
$ ./setup-service <HOST IP> <SERVICE_PASSWORD>

Generate configuration file for the Senlin service.

$ cd /opt/stack/senlin
$ tools/gen-config
$ sudo mkdir /etc/senlin
$ sudo cp etc/senlin/api-paste.ini /etc/senlin
$ sudo cp etc/senlin/policy.json /etc/senlin
$ sudo cp etc/senlin/senlin.conf.sample /etc/senlin/senlin.conf

Edit file /etc/senlin/senlin.conf according to your system settings. The most common options to be customized include:

[database]
connection = mysql://senlin:<MYSQL_SENLIN_PW>@127.0.0.1/senlin?charset=utf8

[keystone_authtoken]
auth_uri = http://<HOST>:5000/v3
