Glance image registration from remote server

I am trying to register a image from a server to remote openstack glance installation. Basically I have processed the image locally through a shell script and now want to import it in a glance running on a different system.

Thanks in advance

Solution

  • Looks like you just need to upload the image to Glance:

    1. Make sure you have glance-client installed pip install python-glanceclient

    2. source openrc #An openrc file with creds for that remote openstack installation, see [1] for reference

    3. glance image-create --container-format CONTAINER_FORMAT --disk-format DISK_FORMAT --name IMAGE_NAME --file a-path-to-local-image-file --progress See "glance help image-create" for params description

    That's it. The image will be uploaded to remote glance installation over HTTP. You can list images there via glance image-list
