| Log In to the UI |
| ---------------- |
| |
| CloudStack provides a web-based UI that can be used by both |
| administrators and end users. The appropriate version of the UI is |
| displayed depending on the credentials used to log in. The UI is |
| available in all modern popular browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Edge and |
| Safari. The UI uses API auto-discovery to discover APIs allowed for a logged-in |
| user and creates navigation and views based on that, and requires the following: |
| |
| - API discovery (listApis) enabled for all roles that must use the UI |
| - Modern browsers that are `ES5-compliant <https://github.com/vuejs/vue#browser-compatibility>`_ |
| |
| The URL is: (substitute your own management server IP address) |
| |
| .. parsed-literal:: |
| |
| http://<management-server-ip-address>:8080/client |
| |
| On a fresh Management Server installation, a guided tour splash screen |
| appears. On later visits, you’ll see a login screen where you specify |
| the following to proceed to your Dashboard: |
| |
| Username -> The user ID of your account. The default username is admin. |
| |
| Password -> The password associated with the user ID. The password for |
| the default username is password. |
| |
| Domain -> If you are a root user, leave this field blank. |
| |
| If you are a user in the sub-domains, enter the full path to the domain, |
| excluding the root domain. |
| |
| For example, suppose multiple levels are created under the root domain, |
| such as Comp1/hr. The users in the Comp1 domain should enter Comp1 in |
| the Domain field, whereas the users in the Comp1/sales domain should |
| enter Comp1/sales. |
| |
| For more guidance about the choices that appear when you log in to this |
| UI, see Logging In as the Root Administrator. |

| |
| End User's UI Overview |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| The CloudStack UI helps users of cloud infrastructure to view and use |
| their cloud resources, including virtual machines, templates and ISOs, |
| data volumes and snapshots, guest networks, and IP addresses. If the |
| user is a member or administrator of one or more CloudStack projects, |
| the UI can provide a project-oriented view. |
| |
| |
| Root Administrator's UI Overview |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

| :alt: alternate text |
| :align: left |
| |
| The CloudStack UI helps the CloudStack administrator provision, view, |
| and manage the cloud infrastructure, domains, user accounts, projects, |
| and configuration settings. The first time you start the UI after a |
| fresh Management Server installation, you can choose to follow a guided |
| tour to provision your cloud infrastructure. On subsequent logins, the |
| dashboard of the logged-in user appears. The various links in this |
| screen and the navigation bar on the left provide access to a variety of |
| administrative functions. The root administrator can also use the UI to |
| perform all the same tasks that are present in the end-user’s UI. |
| |
| |
| Logging In as the Root Administrator |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| After the Management Server software is installed and running, you can |
| run the CloudStack user interface. This UI is there to help you |
| provision, view, and manage your cloud infrastructure. |
| |
| #. Open your favorite Web browser and go to this URL. Substitute the IP |
| address of your own Management Server: |
| |
| .. parsed-literal:: |
| |
| http://<management-server-ip-address>:8080/client |
| |
| After logging into a fresh Management Server installation, a guided |
| tour splash screen appears. On later visits, you’ll be taken directly |
| into the Dashboard. |
| |
| #. If you see the first-time splash screen, choose one of the following. |
| |
| - **Continue with basic setup.** Choose this if you're just trying |
| CloudStack, and you want a guided walkthrough of the simplest |
| possible configuration so that you can get started right away. |
| We'll help you set up a cloud with the following features: a |
| single machine that runs CloudStack software and uses NFS to |
| provide storage; a single machine running VMs under the XenServer |
| or KVM hypervisor; and a shared public network. |
| |
| The prompts in this guided tour should give you all the |
| information you need, but if you want just a bit more detail, you |
| can follow along in the Trial Installation Guide. |
| |
| - **I have used CloudStack before.** Choose this if you have already |
| gone through a design phase and planned a more sophisticated |
| deployment, or you are ready to start scaling up a trial cloud |
| that you set up earlier with the basic setup screens. In the |
| Administrator UI, you can start using the more powerful features |
| of CloudStack, such as advanced VLAN networking, high |
| availability, additional network elements such as load balancers |
| and firewalls, and support for multiple hypervisors including |
| Citrix XenServer, KVM, and VMware vSphere. |
| |
| The root administrator Dashboard appears. |
| |
| #. You should set a new root administrator password. If you chose basic |
| setup, you’ll be prompted to create a new password right away. If you |
| chose experienced user, use the steps in :ref:`changing-root-password`. |
| |
| .. warning:: |
| You are logging in as the root administrator. This account manages the |
| CloudStack deployment, including physical infrastructure. The root |
| administrator can modify configuration settings to change basic |
| functionality, create or delete user accounts, and take many actions |
| that should be performed only by an authorized person. Please change |
| the default password to a new, unique password. |

| |
| Changing the Root Password |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| During installation and ongoing cloud administration, you will need to |
| log in to the UI as the root administrator. The root administrator |
| account manages the CloudStack deployment, including physical |
| infrastructure. The root administrator can modify configuration settings |
| to change basic functionality, create or delete user accounts, and take |
| many actions that should be performed only by an authorized person. When |
| first installing CloudStack, be sure to change the default password to a |
| new, unique value. |
| |
| #. Open your favorite Web browser and go to this URL. Substitute the IP |
| address of your own Management Server: |
| |
| .. parsed-literal:: |
| |
| http://<management-server-ip-address>:8080/client |
| |
| #. Log in to the UI using the current root user ID and password. The |
| default is admin, password. |
| |
| #. Click Accounts. |
| |
| #. Click the admin account name. |
| |
| #. Click View Users. |
| |
| #. Click the admin user name. |
| |
| #. Click the Change Password button. |change-password.png| |
| |
| #. Type the new password, and click OK. |
| |
| Basic UI Customization |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| Users can customize the CloudStack's user interface by means of a configuration file at /etc/cloudstack/management/config.json which can be used to modify the theme, logos, etc. to align to one's requirement. |
| |
| To change the logo, login banner, error page icon, etc. the following details can be edited in config.json: |

| - Purple: #722ED1 |
| |
| Contextual help documentation URLs can be customized with the help of `docBase` and `docHelpMappings` properties. |
| To override a particular documentation URL, a mapping can be added for the URL path in the config. A documentation URL is formed by combining the `docBase` URL base and a path set in the source code. Adding a mapping for any particular path in the configuration will result in generating documetation URL with overridden path. |
| By default, `docHelpMappings` lists all existing documentation URL suffixes, mapped to themselves, in the configuration file that are used in the code. |

| Below example shows configuration changes for custom documentation help URLs: |
| |
| By default, docBase is set to `http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/latest` and contextual help on Instances page links to `http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/latest/adminguide/virtual_machines.html`. |
| To make Instances page link to `http://mycustomwebsite.com/custom_vm_page.html`, docBase can be set to `http://mycustomwebsite.com` and a docHelpMapping can be added for `adminguide/virtual_machines.html` as `custom_vm_page.html`. |
| |
| .. parsed-literal:: |
| |
| { |
| ... |
| "docBase": http://mycustomwebsite.com, |
| ... |
| "docHelpMappings": { |
| "adminguide/virtual_machines.html": "custom_vm_page.html", |
| "adminguide/templates.html": "custom_templates_page.html" |
| }, |
| ... |
| } |
| |
| UI also provides option to show custom plugins for displaying custom HTML pages or HTTP services in an iframe. Such plugins can be listed in the config file using `plugins` property. |
| Example for adding custom plugins: |
| |
| .. parsed-literal:: |
| |
| { |
| ... |
| plugins: [ |
| { |
| "name": "ExamplePlugin", |
| "icon": "appstore", |
| "path": "example.html" |
| }, |
| { |
| "name": "ExamplePlugin1", |
| "icon": "appstore", |
| "path": "https://cloudstack.apache.org/" |
| } |
| ] |
| ... |
| } |
| |
| `icon` for the plugin can be chosen from Ant Design icons listed at `Icon - Ant Design Vue https://www.antdv.com/components/icon/`_. |
| For displaying a custom HTML in the plugin, HTML file can be stored in the CloudStack management server's web application directory on the server, i.e., */usr/share/cloudstack-management/webapp* and `path` can be set to the name of the file. For displaying a service or a web page, URL can be set as the `path` of the plugin. |

| Advanced UI Customisation |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| The advanced UI customisation is possible only by changing JavaScript based config |
| files which define rules for sections, names, icons, actions and components and by |
| building the UI from the source available on `github.com/apache/cloudstack |
| <https://github.com/apache/cloudstack>`_ repository. Advanced customisation may |
| require some experience in JavaScript and VueJS, a development and customisation |
| guide in the source repository. |
| |
| Useful documentations: |
| |
| - `VueJS Guide <https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/>`_ |
| - `Vue Ant Design <https://www.antdv.com/docs/vue/introduce/>`_ |
| - `UI Developer <https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/blob/master/ui/docs>`_ |
| - `JavaScript ES6 Reference <https://www.tutorialspoint.com/es6/>`_ |
| - `Introduction to ES6 <https://scrimba.com/g/gintrotoes6>`_ |
| |
| Multiple Management Support |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| User can use file `/etc/cloudstack/management/config.json` to configure the settings which allow Cloudstack to support multiple servers. |
| |
| To Cloudstack support use multiple servers, the following details can be edited in config.json: |
| |
| ============================= ================================================================ |
| Property Description |
| ============================= ================================================================ |
| multipleServer Configure to allow Cloudstack to support multiple servers. |
| servers List of servers to which Cloudstack can connect. |
| ============================= ================================================================ |
| |
| .. parsed-literal:: |
| |
| { |
| ... |
| "servers" [ |
| { |
| "name": "server-1", |
| "apiHost": "/server-1", |
| "apiBase": "/client/api", |
| }, |
| { |
| "name": "server-2", |
| "apiHost": "", |
| "apiBase": "/client/api", |
| } |
| ] |
| ... |
| "multipleServer": true |
| } |
| |
| For the UI to work with different servers, it is necessary to configure the Nginx config proxy to allow connections to the respective servers without Cross-Origin (to be put into /etc/nginx/conf.d/default/conf or similar). |
| |
| .. parsed-literal:: |
| |
| server { |
| listen 80; |
| server_name localhost; |
| location / { |
| # /src/ui/dist contains the built UI webpack |
| root /src/ui/dist; |
| index index.html; |
| } |
| # for apiHost of server-1 located in config.json |
| location /server-1/client/ { |
| rewrite ^/server-1/(.*)$ /$1 break; |
| # server's actual URI |
| proxy_pass https://server-1.your.domain; |
| } |
| # for apiHost of server-2 located in config.json |
| location /client/ { |
| # server's actual URI |
| proxy_pass https://server-2.your.domain; |
| } |
| } |

| |
| Known Limitations |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| The following features are no longer supported or available in the UI but are still supported at the API level and in the legacy UI: |
| |
| - Support for S3 based secondary storage. |
| - NFS secondary staging storage list/resource view and add/update actions. |
| - SSL certificate for Guest network LB rule. |
| - Regions. |
