OpenStackClient is very useful tool to gain a powerful management of our projects in Command Line Interface. It implements new features and advantages: You can run the commands from the CLI, or include prepared scripts in Python to automate the functionality of your cloud storage. Moreover we could reach our OpenStack access on any computer if we inset credentials (username and password).Eventually everyone may admit that generally OpenStackClient provides more opportunities to look into our compute facility deeply and much more precisely.
Attention: It is strongly recommended to use virtual environments which do not affect system variables globally. If something goes wrong, everything is happening in separated space. |
All we have to obtain is:
- Python(preferable 2.7 version and higher)
- Python-Openstackclient
- RC File with your domain configuration
1. Firstly, let’s check our
python version with command presented below:
If we would like to possess a newer version we have to apply those commands:
12 | $ apt-get update $ apt-get install python3.6 (it’s example) |
|
Secondly, let’s install
CLI client:
1 | $ pip install python-openstackclient |
|
2. We installed packages, so we might firmly move on to our Horizon Panel. Log in to your account.

Choose Openstack RC File v2 or v3. Save your
RC file on your disc.If you use some text editor like vim it should consist of many
variables related to your domain account like it:
![]()
Change your
directory to downloading destination and
execute the configuration file:For example t will look like: cloud_xxxxx\project_without_eo-openrc.sh Time to run this
sh file:
1 | . cloud_xxxxx\project_without_eo-openrc.sh |
|
The prompted message will ask you for your domain
password. Type it in and press
enter.If the password is correct then you've got access
granted. I recommend you to check Openstack documentation which contains lists of available commands. There you may reconsider many scenarios linked with your management.
