[packstack] Install dashboard plugins for projects deployed by packstack

[amoralej]

What to improve

Packstack does not install horizon plugins when deploying services. For example, when enabling magnum installation by using CONFIG_MAGNUM_INSTALL option in answer file, magnum services are installed and configured but package openstack-magnum-ui is not installed.

Currently, following services have dashboard plugins in RDO which should be installed as part of horizon deployment when enabled:

project	horizon plugin package
magnum	openstack-magnum-ui
sahara	openstack-sahara-ui
ironic	openstack-ironic-ui
trove	openstack-trove-ui
lbaas	openstack-neutron-lbaas-ui

Hint about implementation

Packstack provides a puppet manifest to install and configure horizon using puppet-horizon . That manifest should check if services are enabled in hiera, as for example using hiera('CONFIG_MAGNUM_INSTALL') and if it's enabled make sure the package openstack-magnum-ui is installed.

I will happily do all of these!

Would you mind pointing out an example for reference?

[amoralej]

Here you have an example used in openstackclient manifest to install manilaclient when CONFIG_MANILA_INSTALL is enabled:

https://github.com/openstack/packstack/blob/master/packstack/puppet/modules/packstack/manifests/openstackclient.pp#L9-L11

In this case you'd need something similar but for other services and package names, as shown in the issue description. It should go in https://github.com/openstack/packstack/blob/master/packstack/puppet/modules/packstack/manifests/horizon.pp

Awesome, thanks Alfredo. I was close but I was putting it in the wrong file. i tested all of these on Ocata- seems they all work OK.

Just waiting on Trove and Sahara now.

@OGtrilliams just a couple of minor nits on those commits I think...

@amoralej any more or are you happy to close this one?

[amoralej]

@OGtrilliams thanks for these patches, they will be included in packstack version in pike.
