I'm trying to create a stack from a template using the Heat API. I'm using the API reference here as a guide. I have the following json in a file called single-server-template.json:

{
  "stack_name": "api-test",
  "template": {
    "heat_template_version": "rocky",
    "description": "Testing Heat API\n",
    "resources": {
      "server1": {
        "type": "OS::Nova::Server",
        "properties": {
          "name": "Server1",
          "image": "Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy)",
          "flavor": "alt.st1.small",
          "key_name": "my_key",
          "networks": "Internal"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

I'm sending it with this: curl -X POST -H "X-Auth-Token:$OS_TOKEN" -d @single-server-template.json https://$OS_HOST_URL:8004/v1/$OS_PROJECT_ID/stacks

I've been at it for hours but no matter what I send I get a 400 error:

{"code": 400, "title": "Bad Request", "explanation": "The server could not comply with the request since it is either malformed or otherwise incorrect.", "error": {"type": "HTTPBadRequest", "traceback": null, "message": "The server could not comply with the request since it is either malformed or otherwise incorrect."}}

Things I've tried:

  • confirmed my environment vars are filled in correctly before sending
  • confirmed that the template itself is valid by spinning it up from the UI console
  • confirmed that other endpoints that require auth work as expected
  • screaming and/or crying

Can anyone confirm that what I've got is correct, or test it against your own openstack instance? The only other thing I can think of is that maybe my openstack provider has an issue with their API

    Have you tried looking at the heat server logs to see if they have a more informative error message? – larsks Feb 14 '23 at 00:39

    I would have to jump through some hoops to get access to those logs, I'm on a VPC. however I was able to get things working using the python-openstackclient from pip so problem not exactly fixed but at least the cli client offers another way forward – jamzsabb Feb 14 '23 at 17:30
