not able to connect using api openstack

Question

I am trying to use the lib cloud library to connect to my local openstack installation.

below is the code I am trying to execute:

from libcloud.compute.types import Provider
from libcloud.compute.providers import get_driver

# Authentication information so you can authenticate to DreamCompute
# copy the details from the OpenStack RC file
# https://dashboard.dreamcompute.com/project/access_and_security/api_access/openrc/

auth_username = 'admin'
auth_password = 'f882e2f4eaad434c'
TENANT_NAME = 'admin'
project_name = 'admin'
auth_url = 'http://192.168.56.101:5000'
#auth_url = 'http://192.168.56.101:5000'
region_name = 'RegionOne'

OpenStack = get_driver(Provider.OPENSTACK)
driver = OpenStack('auth_username',
                   'auth_password',
                   ex_force_auth_url=auth_url,
                   ex_force_base_url='http://192.168.56.101',
                   ex_force_auth_version='2.0_password',
                   ex_tenant_name='admin',
                   ex_force_service_name='nova',
                   ex_force_service_region=region_name)

print(dir(driver.list_nodes))
print(driver.api_name)
print(driver.VOLUME_STATE_MAP)
#print(driver.connection.auth_user_info)
images = driver.name
print(driver.list_volumes())
"""for image in images:
    print(image)
"""

However I keep getting the error message resource not found:

I know that I am providing a malformed url but I am not able to figure out what the url should be.

Answer 1

I use libcloud with ex_force_auth_token . But according to this page: http://libcloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/compute/drivers/openstack.html

I believe what you want is to have:

from libcloud.compute.types import Provider
from libcloud.compute.providers import get_driver

import libcloud.security

# This assumes you don't have SSL set up.
# Note: Code like this poses a security risk (MITM attack) and
# that's the reason why you should never use it for anything else
# besides testing. You have been warned.
libcloud.security.VERIFY_SSL_CERT = False

OpenStack = get_driver(Provider.OPENSTACK)
driver = OpenStack('your_auth_username', 'your_auth_password',
                   ex_force_auth_url='http://192.168.1.101:5000',
                   ex_force_auth_version='2.0_password',
                   ex_force_service_type='compute',
                   ex_force_service_name='novaCompute',
                   ex_force_service_region='MyRegion')

I notice that you put the ex_force_base_url there as well. That should work but your ex_force_base_url should be http://192.168.56.101:8774/v2

Here port 8774 is for nova and v2 is the nova version. You should check the version of nova you are using. A simple way to check is to use the CLI or the OpenStack Dashboard.

HTH.
