Install python-openstackclient

Open Command Prompt, and execute the command

Code Block
pip install python-openstackclient

You will be prompted to install all the dependencies needed. Accept the installation, and wait for it to finish. You now have a working openstack-client in Windows!TODO

Modify your openrc.sh file to use it on Windows

To actually make the openstack-client somewhat useful, we need to "translate" the openrc.sh file from bash to powershell. Grab the openrc-file from the OpenStack Web UI as explained here. Copy the file to a new file, and name it <projectname>-openrc.ps1 i.e.

Edit your new .ps1 file, so that it looks something like this:

Code Block
languagepowershell
# To use an OpenStack cloud you need to authenticate against the Identity
# service named keystone, which returns a **Token** and **Service Catalog**.
# The catalog contains the endpoints for all services the user/tenant has
# access to - such as Compute, Image Service, Identity, Object Storage, Block
# Storage, and Networking (code-named nova, glance, keystone, swift,
# cinder, and neutron).

# *NOTE*: Using the 3 *Identity API* does not necessarily mean any other
# OpenStack API is version 3. For example, your cloud provider may implement
# Image API v1.1, Block Storage API v2, and Compute API v2.0. OS_AUTH_URL is
# only for the Identity API served through keystone.
$env:OS_AUTH_URL = 'http://172.16.0.102:5000/v3'

# With the addition of Keystone we have standardized on the term **project**
# as the entity that owns the resources.
$env:OS_PROJECT_ID = 'c7d892e8b97945c4add0ecab10ed62ad'
$env:OS_PROJECT_NAME = 'PRIV_larsep'
$env:OS_USER_DOMAIN_NAME = 'NTNU'

# unset v2.0 items in case set
$env:OS_TENANT_ID = $Null
$env:OS_TENANT_NAME= $Null

# In addition to the owning entity (tenant), OpenStack stores the entity
# performing the action as the **user**.
$env:OS_USERNAME="larsep"

# With Keystone you pass the keystone password.
$OS_PASSWORD_INPUT= Read-Host -Prompt "Please enter your OpenStack Password for project $env:OS_PROJECT_NAME as user $env:OS_USERNAME" -AsSecureString
$env:OS_PASSWORD = [System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::PtrToStringAuto([System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::SecureStringToBSTR($OS_PASSWORD_INPUT))

# If your configuration has multiple regions, we set that information here.
# OS_REGION_NAME is optional and only valid in certain environments.
$env:OS_REGION_NAME="SkyHiGh"

$env:OS_INTERFACE='public'
$env:OS_IDENTITY_API_VERSION=3

Run the script:

Code Block
PS M:\Documents\SkyHiGh> .\PRIV_larsep-openrc.ps1

Enter your password when prompted, and you shoul now be able to run all the openstack-commands in that very powershell window (smile)

PROTIP: If you're not allowed to run your newly made .ps1 file, run this command:

Code Block
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

and retry.TODO
