To use the OpenStack command-line tools, such as openstack or nova, the OpenStack Python CLI client packages must be installed on a host. You have two choices for installing OpenStack CLI clients:
Install the docker-ostk utility, which runs the prepackaged OpenStack CLI clients in a Docker container.
Install the OpenStack CLI client packages manually.
The docker-ostk utility is included in the
openstack-kolla-utils package.
The ol-openstack-kolla-toolbox Docker image
contains all the OpenStack Python CLI client packages and their
dependencies. The image is included with Oracle OpenStack for Oracle Linux Docker
images and is available in the Oracle Container Registry. The
docker-ostk utility provides a convenient way for
running the ol-openstack-kolla-toolbox image in a
Docker container and running the prepackaged OpenStack CLI clients
in that container. The docker-ostk utility is
designed to be used on a master node, but it can be used on any Oracle Linux
6 or 7 host.
If you do not want to use the docker-ostk
utility, you can manually install and use the OpenStack Python CLI
client packages instead.
