Installation

1. Create a Python Virtual Environment (Recommended)

   python3 -m venv .venv
   source .venv/bin/activate
   

2. Install the Package

   Install the application and its dependencies using pip.

   # For standard TUI usage
   pip install openstack-ansible-wizard
   
   # To include web server capabilities
   pip install openstack-ansible-wizard[serve]
   

   You can also run the application without installation, which might be convenient during development:

   # Install requirements manually
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   # Run application
   python3 run.py
   

Usage

Once installed, you can run the application using the console script created during installation:

openstack-ansible-wizard

Environment Variables

The application uses the following environment variables to determine default paths. You can set them to point to your existing setup before running the app.

• OSA_CLONE_DIR: The path to your openstack-ansible repository. (Default: /opt/openstack-ansible)
• OSA_CONFIG_DIR: The path to your OpenStack-Ansible configuration directory. (Default: /etc/openstack_deploy)

Example:

export OSA_CONFIG_DIR=~/openstack-configs
openstack-ansible-wizard

Web TUI Mode

The application can also be served as a web-based TUI that you can access from your browser. This is useful for running the wizard on a remote server.

First, ensure you have installed the application with the serve extras (see Installation section).

Then, run the serve command:

openstack-ansible-wizard serve --host localhost --port 8080

You can then access the application by navigating to http://localhost:8080 in your web browser.
