ODL DLUX blank screen

When I enter the site localhost:8181/index.html automatically redirects to localhost:8181/index.html#/topology without asking to log and showing a blank site. This is happening to me with Nitrogen and Carbon but, Beryllium works fine.

Any idea of what's going on?

Solution

  • Recent versions of OpenDaylight have split DLUX and DLUX Apps to make maintenance easier.

    Install and start OpenDaylight Nitrogen:

    sudo dnf install -y http://cbs.centos.org/repos/nfv7-opendaylight-7-release/x86_64/os/Packages/opendaylight-7.0.0-1.el7.noarch.rpm
sudo systemctl start opendaylight

    Connect to the Karaf shell:

    ssh -p 8101 karaf@localhost

    See the available DLUX features:

    opendaylight-user@root>feature:list | grep dluxapps
odl-dluxapps-yangutils
odl-dluxapps-yangui
odl-dluxapps-topology
odl-dluxapps-yangvisualizer
odl-dluxapps-applications
odl-dluxapps-yangman
odl-dluxapps-nodes
features-dluxapps

    Install the one you're interested in:

    opendaylight-user@root>feature:install odl-dluxapps-topology

    In a browser on the same machine:

    http://localhost:8181/index.html#/yangui/index

    Login with admin/admin and things should work.

    Here are the DLUX docs.

    Overall, DLUX isn't really a focus of OpenDaylight development. Most developers never use it, and most vendors don't package it as a product. You can reliably get whatever info you need from OpenDaylight using the northbound REST interface (example REST calls).

    Update: OpenDaylight DLUX is Archived, will not ship with versions of ODL Oxygen (8) and later. It's not a priority of the current developers. Contributions welcome if it's a priority to you.
