This web portal running on django allows you to provide self-service on top of your :
-virtualproviders(rhev/ovirt,libvirt,vsphere)
-physical(ilo)
-foreman
-cobbler/satellite
-VMs can be created,stopped,started,deleted
VMs console can be accessed (ovirt/rhev/libvirt only)
-VMS get created based on predefined profiles ( with a given virtualprovider and optional foremanprovider and cobblerprovider, and vm details such as disksize ( 2 disks supported), net interfaces ( 4 nets supported ) ,...)
-Authentication can use remote ldap providers
-You get some basic billing/invoice
-You get a REST api
well it s a django project with a feel of cloud, and django reinhardt most famous song is "nuages", which means cloud in french...Get it :) ?
A profile is a combination of :
-a virtual provider (rhev/ovirt/vsphere)
-virtual machine information ( datacenter,cluster,memory, guestid, number ov vcpus, number of interfaces( up to 4) ,logical networks, size and format of the disks,...
-a physical provider containing ilo credentials to access ILO through ssh
-an optional foreman provider where machine will be created, along with puppetclasses and puppetparameters. The List of hostgroups will automatically be fetched when selecting a profile with foreman support
-an optional cobbler provider where the machine will be created, along with cobbler parameters
-iso support. The list of available isos from the virtualprovider will automatically be fetched when selecting a profile with iso support
When creating a machine,you can specify a type based on the following ones:
-Apache
-Oracle
-Rac
-Weblogic
-Cluster
you ll get and additional dialog box displayed with specific parameters that will be passed as cobbler parameters to your cobbler provider when creating the machine
a DB (postgresql is what i used but sqlite3 is another simpler option)
python-requests if you will connect to foreman
python-ldap for ldap auth
python-django-tastypie from epel ( provides REST api)
python-lxml from epel ( provides XML support for REST api, if you re crazy enough)
ovirt-engine-sdk package from epel (only if you will connect to ovirt/rhev)
jython and vsphere api libraries ( only if you will connect to vcenter/esx)
pyvmomi api rpm ( only if you will connect to vcenter/esx, as an alternative to jython )
libvirt-python and python-lxml ( only if you will connect to libvirt hosts)
python websockify from epel
paramiko ( to connect to ILO through ssh)
python-reportlab and python-dateutil( if you plan to generate invoices)
gateone (from https://github.com/liftoff/GateOne ) (only if you want to connect to your physical machines ssh-ing to their ilo and then running vsp )
openssl and python-crypto if you plan to connect to vmware html5 consoles (another option is to directly set sha1 and fqdn for the virtualprovider in the admin portal)
optionally apache server with mod_wsgi
if you plan to use cobbler/spacewalk/satellite5, be sure to set redhat_management_permissive: 1 in /etc/cobbler/settings to allow API access
#if rhel/centos, subscribe to epel and optional channel
yum -y install jython ovirt-engine-sdk python-requests python-ldap libvirt-python python-lxml python-websockify python-paramiko python-reportlab python-dateutil openssl python-crypto httpd mod_wsgi postgresql-server python-psycopg2 Django14 Django-south python-django-tastypie
from epel:
yum -y install ovirt-engine-sdk
ensure that the user s running the portal (apache for instance ) can SSH the libvirt host without password
for instance, under apache, you might have to
mkdir /var/www/.ssh
chown apache.apache /var/www/.ssh
su -s /bin/bash apache
ssh-keygen ( accept defaults and dont set a passphrase )
ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@libvirt_host
ssh user@libvirt_host to accept the public key of the server
1. Download latest version of http://vijava.sourceforge.net/
2. Unzip archive with unzip vijava$version.zip
3. Move jar resultantes to lib/ext of your java install (ext/lib en fedora)
for instance, with default jre on ubuntu:
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre
sudo cp dom4j-1.6.1.jar $JAVA_HOME/ext/lib
sudo cp vijava$version.jar $JAVA_HOME/ext/lib
Or for a 64 bits fedora16 :
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.3.x86_64/jre
sudo cp dom4j-1.6.1.jar $JAVA_HOME/ext/lib/ext
sudo cp vijava$version.jar $JAVA_HOME/lib/ext
WARNING: latest vijava55b20130927.zip seems to be giving problem with vpshere5.5 so you rather wanna use vijava5120121125.zip
from skynet:
yum -y localinstall python-pyvmomi-5.5.0.2014.1.1-3.el6.noarch.rpm
note: you can skip that if you plan to use sqlite
install postgresql-server for your distribution For instance, on rhel6.4, from epel
yum -y install postgresql-server python-psycopg2
initialize and start DB, creating a user called nuages with a db called nuages)
service postgresql initdb ; /etc/init.d/postgresql start ; su - postgres ; createuser nuages -P -d -R -S ; createdb -O nuages nuages
allow DB TCP connections. edit /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf so that it contains for instance
local all all ident
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
service postgresql restart
clone the repo ( or get an archive):
git clone https://github.com/karmab/nuages.git
install django and south for your distribution (and paramiko). For instance, on rhel6.4, from epel
yum -y install Django14 Django-south python-paramiko python-ldap python-websockify
if you ll use a postgresql DB:
yum -y install python-psycopg2
su - postgres ; createuser nuages -P -d -R -S ; createdb -O nuages nuages
edit $NUAGES_PATH/nuages/settings.py to reflect correct DB information.You can either use postgresql as i do or simply set sqlite3 ( in that case, change name of the sqlite file, for instance to nuages.sqlite)
create django tables.create superuser when asked for:
python manage.py syncdb
python manage.py migrate
create south stuff:
python manage.py schemamigration portal --initial
python manage.py migrate portal --fake
launch integrated web server:
python manage.py runserver --settings=nuages.settings_dev YOUR_IP:YOUR_PORT
install apache and mod_wsgi
uncompress the tar where you plan to serve it from apache ( defaults to /usr/share/nuages )
edit $NUAGES_PATH/nuages/settings.py to reflect correct DB credentials
edit $NUAGES_PATH/django.wsgi to reflect correct location (replace /usr/share/nuages if necessary)
create a virtual host conf for apache. you can use the nuages.conf.apache sample provided
if using jython
mkdir /var/www/.jython-cache
chown apache.root /var/www/.jython-cache
restart apache
use the superuser you created as part of the django deployment...
access the /admin page to :
*create local users
*create ldap user providers
note that you can create filter to restrict ldap users who can connect.examples of filters you could use:
MemberOf=CN=linux,OU=blabla,DC=karma,DC=corp
or for several groups:
|(MemberOf=CN=linux,OU=blabla,DC=karma,DC=corp)(MemberOf=CN=boss,OU=blabla,DC=karma,DC=corp)
*optionnally create groups and assign them to users, as they get created upon first correct login ( their password isnt stored in DB, btw)
*create virtualproviders
*create physicalproviders
*create foremanproviders
*create cobblerproviders
*create default ( otherwise the yourvms console tab wont work! )
*create profiles
drop the CA certificates of your rhev/ovirt virtualproviders and ldapproviders in the nuages dir
access the /nuages page to :
*access the storage tab and browse your virtualproviders so storage information gets automatically created
you can then begin creating vms or manage existing ones from the allvms tabs
to create custom types, you can go in /usr/share/nuages/portal and copy customtypes.py.sample to customtypes.py
api access is at /nuages/api/v1/?format=json . it s only available for staff users
you can also check the nuages python wrapper available in portal/misc/nuages.py which can also be set as a cli
( You will have to create a nuages.ini in your home dir as the sample that can be found there )
You will possibly need to tweak proxy settings for spice/novnc consoles to work,excluding your hypervisor display network from proxy
Restarting apache or django is necessary after editing customtypes.py...
