Help:Horizon FAQ

From Wikitech
(Redirected from Horizon)

horizon.wikimedia.org is the web interface for creating and manipulating virtual machines ('Cloud VPS instances') and associated features within Cloud VPS. Horizon runs a customized version of OpenStack Horizon, which is the official tool for managing OpenStack deploys.

Accessing Horizon

Any Wikimedia developer account holder with the 'projectadmin' role in a project has login access to horizon.wikimedia.org. The username, password, and two-factor authentication code are the ones associated with your developer account. Normal Toolforge and Cloud VPS project members can ignore Horizon for now, and possibly forever.


Project creation and management

See Help:Cloud VPS project for information on requesting a new project as a Cloud VPS user.

Proxies and DNS

Creating a new subdomain of wmcloud.org requires cooperation between multiple projects (yours, and that project that owns wmcloud.org.) For this reason, domain creation is limited to Cloud VPS operators. Create a phabricator request and we'll get to it as soon as we can.

For reference, this is done using the wmcs-makedomain script.

Troubleshooting

If you have a large number of projects and can't view them all in the project menu. You can view a complete project list by selecting the 'Identity->Projects' tab. To view a specific project, click the 'Set as Active Project' button on the right-hand side of the table.

Communication and support

Support and administration of the WMCS resources is provided by the Wikimedia Foundation Cloud Services team and Wikimedia movement volunteers. Please reach out with questions and join the conversation:
