OpenStack Image Server

• a configured and working instance of security/py-keystone
• net/py-python-openstackclient is required for the setup and administration tasks
• a decent amount of space for the location where all images will be saved. The default location is /var/lib/glance/images.

The following commands must be run as the OpenStack admin user. (It is assumed that the environment (OS_AUTH_URL, OS_PASSWORD, etc.) is already set thus the subsequent commands are listed only with the required parameters for the sake of brevity.)

$ openstack user create --domain default --password-prompt glance
$ openstack role add --project service --user glance admin
$ openstack service create --name glance --description "OpenStack Image" image

$ openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne image public http://glancehost:9292
$ openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne image internal http://glancehost:9292
$ openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne image admin http://glancehost:9292

The following files must be configured:

• /usr/local/etc/glance/glance-api.conf
• /usr/local/etc/glance/glance-registry.conf
• /usr/local/etc/glance/glance-scrubber.conf
