Installation

There are in general two ways to isntall Bilean service: install via DevStack or install manually.

Install via DevStack

This is the recommended way to install the Bilean service. Please refer to following detailed instructions.

1. Download DevStack.

git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack-dev/devstack
cd devstack

2. Add this repo as an external repository.

cat > /opt/stack/devstack/local.conf << END
[[local|localrc]]
enable_plugin bilean https://github.com/openstack/bilean master
END

3. Add Plugin Configuration Hooks.

   Bilean service is driven using a plugin mechanism for integrating to other services. Each integrated service may require additional configuration settings. For example, typically, you will need to add the billing_notifications notification topic to each service’s configuration.

4. Then run devstack normally.

cd /opt/stack/devstack
./stack.sh

   [database]
   connection = mysql://root:<DB PASSWORD>@127.0.0.1/bilean?charset=utf8
   
   [keystone_authtoken]
   auth_uri = http://<HOST>:5000/v3
