py-glance
OpenStack Image Server
Set up Glance on FreeBSD
Prerequisites
- 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.
Prepare the system
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.)
Create the user, role and service
$ 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
Create the endpoints
$ 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
Configure the Glance service
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
glance-api.conf

glance-scrubber.conf

Populate the Image service database
# su -m glance -c "glance-manage db_sync"
