Installation and Roadmap

Prerequisites:

The ceph-rest-api must be run on either a member of your Ceph cluster, or on a installed client node that has admin access to the cluster.

do:

apt-get install git
apt-get install python-pip
pip install django
pip install requests

Installation:

create a new user called kraken then:

  cd /home/kraken
  git clone https://github.com/krakendash/krakendash

In the krakendash/contrib directory there are two files, api.sh and django.sh

cp krakendash/contrib/*.sh .

api.sh starts the ceph-rest-api in a screen session called api django.sh starts krakendash in a screen session called django

You can run these files to kick off the api and application. To detach a screen session, use CTRL-A, then his the D key.

Now you can run Kraken!

in /home/kraken do: ./api.sh (if you are running kraken on a ceph client or cluster node) ./django.sh

Also, if needed, edit krakendash/kraken/kraken/settings.py

Here you can change CEPH_BASE_URL to point at your host running ceph-rest-api, it is preconfigured already for localhost. You can also change the STATICFILES_DIRS and TEMPLATE_DIRS if you are using a different username than kraken.
