#### Cinder Volume

**Cinder Volume Snap**

This snap is designed to be used with a deployed OpenStack Control plane such
as delivered by Sunbeam.

**Getting Started**

To get started with Cinder Volume, install the snap using snapd:

```
$ sudo snap install cinder-volume
```

The snap needs to be configured with credentials and URLs for the Identity
service of the OpenStack cloud that it will form part of. For example:

```
$ sudo snap set cinder-volume \
   cinder.project-id=project-uuid \
   cinder.user-id=user-uuid
```

You must also configure access to RabbitMQ:

```
$ sudo snap set cinder-volume \
   rabbitmq.url=rabbit://cinder:supersecure@10.152.183.212:5672/openstack
```

And provide the database connection URL:

```
$ sudo snap set cinder-volume \
   database.url=mysql+pymysql://cinder:password@10.152.183.210/cinder
```

The snap supports multiple storage backends, such as Ceph. For example, to
configure a Ceph backend:

```
$ sudo snap set cinder-volume \
    ceph.mybackend.rbd-pool=volumes \
    ceph.mybackend.rbd-user=cinder \
    ceph.mybackend.rbd-secret-uuid=uuid \
    ceph.mybackend.rbd-key=<base64key> \
    ceph.mybackend.volume-backend-name=mybackend
```

See "Configuration Reference" for full details.

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
```

You will also need to reboot your device:

```
sudo reboot
