The snap also needs to be configured with access to RabbitMQ: ``` $ sudo snap set openstack-hypervisor \ rabbitmq.url=rabbit://nova:supersecure22@10.152.183.212:5672/openstack ``` and with URL's for access to Network services: ``` $ sudo snap set openstack-hypervisor \ network.ovn-sb-connection=tcp:10.152.183.220:6642 ``` The snap has numerous other configuration options - see "Configuration Reference" for full details. **Configuration Reference** **compute** Configuration of options related to compute (Nova): * `compute.virt-type` libvirt Virtualization type This option is runtime detected by the snap and will be set to `kvm` if the host is capable of full virtualization or `qemu` if not. * `compute.cpu-mode` (`host-model`) CPU mode for instances Valid values: `host-model`, `host-passthrough`, `custom`, `none`. * `compute.cpu-models` CPU models for hypervisor An ordered list of CPU models the host supports. Only used with `compute.cpu-mode` is set to `custom`. For more details please refer to the Nova [configuration reference]() for cpu models. * `compute.spice-proxy-address` (`localhost`) IP address for SPICE consoles IP address to use for configuration of SPICE consoles in instances. **identity** Configuration of options related to identity (Keystone): * `identity.auth-url` Full URL for Keystone API * `identity.username` Username for services to use * `identity.password` Password for services to use * `identity.user-domain-name` (`service_domain`) Domain for user * `identity.project-name` (`services`) Service project * `identity.project-domain-name` (`service_domain`) Domain for service project * `identity.region-name` (`RegionOne`) OpenStack region to use **logging** Configuration of logging options across all services: * `logging.debug` (`false`) Enable debug log level **node** Configuration of options related to the hypervisor node in general: * `node.fqdn` (`hostname -f`) Fully qualified hostname for node * `node.ip-address` IP address to use for service configuration These options are use to configure the identity of the agents that run as part of the snap. **network** Configuration of options related to networking, including Neutron and OVN: * `network.dns-domain` DNS domain name to use for networking * `network.dns-servers` External DNS servers to use for forwarding DNS requests * `network.external-bridge` (`br-ex`) Name of OVS external network bridge * `network.physnet-name` (`physnet1`) Neutron label for physical network * `network.ip-address` (`node.ip-address`) IP address to use for overlay network endpoints * `network.ovn-sb-connection` (`tcp:127.0.0.1:6642`) OVN Southbound DB connection URL * `network.enable-gateway` (False) Enable OVS/OVS as north/south gateway TLS configuration for OVN can also be supplied via snap configuration: * `network.ovn-key` Private TLS key * `network.ovn-cert` TLS certificate for `ovn-key` * `network.ovn-cacert` CA certificate (and chain) for certificate validation All of the above options must be provided as base64 encoded strings. **rabbitmq** Configuration of options related to RabbitMQ messaging: * `rabbitmq.url` (`rabbit://localhost:5672`) Full connection URL to RabbitMQ --- ## Install openstack-hypervisor on your Linux distribution Choose your Linux distribution to get detailed installation instructions.
