openstack_activeresource¶ ↑

OpenStack Ruby (and RoR) bindings implemented on top of ActiveResource

Supported API:

  • Glance

  • Keystone (admin and public)

  • Nova

Tested on Folsom and Essex release.

Installation¶ ↑

Command line:

~# gem install openstack_activeresource

Or in bundler Gemfile:

gem "openstack_activeresource", "~> 0.7.1"

Sample usages¶ ↑

List available tenants (requires the ‘admin’ role)¶ ↑

require 'openstack_activeresource'

# Set Keystone Public API endpoint
OpenStack::Keystone::Public::Base.site = "https://my.keystone.api.server:5000/v2.0/"

# Authentication
auth = OpenStack::Keystone::Public::Auth.create :username => "adminuser", :password => "adminpassword", :tenant_id => "admintenant_ID"

# Set the auth token for next API requests
OpenStack::Base.token = auth.token

OpenStack::Keystone::Public::Tenant.all.each { |tenant|
    printf "Name: %s (id: %s, enabled? %s) - %s\n",
        tenant.name.center(15), tenant.id.center(20), tenant.enabled.to_s.center(6), tenant.description
}

Creating a new tenant and a new user (requires the ‘admin’ role)¶ ↑

require 'openstack_activeresource'

# Set Keystone Public and Admin API endpoints
OpenStack::Keystone::Public::Base.site = "https://my.keystone.api.server:5000/v2.0/"
OpenStack::Keystone::Admin::Base.site = "https://my.keystone.api.server:35357/v2.0/"

# Authentication
auth = OpenStack::Keystone::Public::Auth.create :username => "adminuser", :password => "adminpassword", :tenant_id => "admintenant_ID"

# Set the auth token for next API requests
OpenStack::Base.token = auth.token

# Create a new tenant
new_tenant = OpenStack::Keystone::Admin::Tenant.create :enabled => true, :name => "TestTenant", :description => "My new tenant" 

# Create a new user in new_tenant
new_user = OpenStack::Keystone::Admin::User.create :tenant => new_tenant, :name => "TestUser", :password => "testpassword", :email => "test@user.com", :enabled => true

# Assign the "memberRole" in new_tenant to new_user

Using OpenStack-ActiveResource with Ruby on Rails (sample usage)¶ ↑

Create an helper method in your application controller

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base

    ...

    private

    def require_openstack_login
      if OpenStack::Base.token.nil? or OpenStack::Base.token.expired?
        OpenStack::Keystone::Public::Base.site = <keystone_public_api_uri>
        # Admin API, if needed
        OpenStack::Keystone::Admin::Base.site = <keystone_admin_api_uri>

        auth = OpenStack::Keystone::Public::Auth.create :username => <username>, :password => <password>, :tenant_id => <tenant_id>

        OpenStack::Base.token = auth.token

        OpenStack::Nova::Compute::Base.site = auth.endpoint_for('compute').publicURL
        # Set other endpoints if needed ...
        # For instance:
        #   OpenStack::Nova::Volume::Base.site = auth.endpoint_for('volume').publicURL

      end
    end

    ...

end

In controllers which need to access the openstack API,

class OpenStackConsumerController < ApplicationController

    ...

    # "Enable" openstack API only in methods where it is needed
    before_filter :require_openstack_login, :only => [ :index, :show ]

    ...

end

Contributing to openstack_activeresource¶ ↑

  • Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn’t been implemented or the bug hasn’t been fixed yet.

  • Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn’t requested it and/or contributed it.

  • Fork the project.

  • Start a feature/bugfix branch.

  • Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution.

  • Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

  • Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
