I deployed OpenStack Ubuntu and like to script launch instances. One thing is that I can not find a way to get openrc file other manually log on dashboard and download it.

Is there any way to download this openrc file through command line or api?

Thanks.

  • Hi, I am note sure I understood your question correctly. Do you need to chave an openrc script? Because you can create it manually quite easily. If it's the case, you can just follow this link: http://docs.openstack.org/kilo/install-guide/install/apt/content/keystone-client-environment-scripts.html. If you want to script the launching of instances, you can use the command line, here are the references: http://docs.openstack.org/cli-reference/content/. Not sure this was your question but I hope it helps. – Bruno B. Carvalho Dec 08 '15 at 10:12

Late reply but I just struggled with this one myself. Note, it's no really the best way since these env seems to change between releases. So abit of a quickfix.

Basic idea is to build the file yourself using the "openstack user show" command. 

openstack user show <username> | grep id 
| id         | 38107017a45747569461cf7c6ef2cc1f |
| project_id | 808c10c6156c44179f9643c2ac8b0aa3 |

Username, password and endpoint's I'm guessing you have a good idea on.

I guess you are refering to the stackrc, if so, you need to connect via ssh to the director (controller) of your openstack and download it manually. Then you need to source stackrc and you are good to go to use the openstack command on the terminal.
