We will guide you step by step through the whole installation and configuration process.

Extracted files in your WHMCS directory should look like this:

The file is located in '/yourWHMCS/modules/servers/OpenStackProjects/license_RENAME.php'. Rename it from 'license_RENAME.php' to 'license.php'.

Enter your license key between the quotation marks as presented on the following screen.
You can find your license key in our client area → 'My Products'.

This folder is available at '/yourWHMCS/modules/servers/OpenStackProjects/'.

Log in to your WHMCS administrator area. Go to 'System Settings' → 'Addon Modules'.
Afterwards, find 'OpenStack Projects' and press 'Activate' button.

To do so, click on the 'Configure' button, select administrator groups that should have access to this addon and press 'Save Changes'.

php -q /yourWHMCS/modules/servers/OpenstackProjects/cron/cron.php queue

This enables tasks such as 'suspend resources,' 'unsuspend resources,' 'terminate resources,' and 'lock account' to queue and run.

You can access your module under 'Addons' → 'OpenStack Projects'.

Proceed to your 'OpenStack' panel. All necessary information will be found in the 'View Credentials' section under 'API Access' .

Now, provide your 'OpenStack Server Details' . To download the 'Identity Version' , you need to click 'Get Versions' next to 'Identity Port/Path' .
Make sure that your server connection is correct and save changes.

If you you use Virtuozzo Hybrid Infrastructure (VHI) – OpenStack from Virtuozzo, please use the following guide:

1. WHMCS server must have access to VHI OpenStack API, please open the required ports according to the guide

2. Configure OpenStack endpoint OpenStack endpoint

3. Use system admin or domain admin credentials to access the cluster from WHMCS side:

• Name: any name

• Hostname: VHI domain name

• Module: OpenStack Projects

• Username: admin

• Identity Port/Path: 5000

• Identity Version: V3

• Domain: Default

• Project ID: ID of the “admin” project from the Default domain

• Secure: Yes
  

Use the above data to fill out the server creation form in the WHMCS admin area.

Important: Please do not add more than one server into a single server group, as the module always fetches data from the first server listed in the group.
It is recommended to create one group per server configuration to prevent potential issues.

Click on 'Create a New Group'.

To do so, first click on 'Create a New Product'.

If you did not set the proper permissions, you will be asked to do it now.

Note: The below description refers to the "VHI" product configuration.

Configuration:

• Default Domain - choose a default domain for new projects based on this product.
• Client Projects Mode - select a preferred mode that defines how new hostings will be created.
• Project User Roles - define default roles for a new user. Keep in mind that the choice of roles determines the level of allowed permissions. For example, select the image_upload role if you wish to be allowed to upload OS images.
  • Inherit Domain Roles - enable if the Domain User Role should be inherited from the Project User Roles or defined separately.
    Note that this option is dependent on the 'Default Domain' setting. More about User Roles can be found here.
  • Domain User Roles - if the above 'Inherit Domain Roles' is disabled, this setting appears; here you may choose a default role in the domain for a new user based on this product.
    This setting, if not left empty, overwrites the 'with and without domain permissions' selections in the 'Client Projects Mode' option.

• Hide User Password - enable to hide the user password after project creation, the feature is particularly useful for authentication with the OpenID protocol.
• OpenStack Panel Web Address - is the web address for the login page to the OpenStack panel.
• Default Domain Name - enter a domain that will be used when the domain name is not provided. Available variables: {clientId}, {serviceId} and {rand}.
• Default Project Name - enter a project name used when creating a new project. If left empty, the domain name will be used instead. Available variables: {clientId}, {serviceId} and {rand}.
• Default User Name - enter a user name used when creating a new user. Available variables: {clientId}, {serviceId} and {rand}.
• Domain Field Content - specify the content data that will overwrite the WHMCS Domain Field.
• Client Area Login Information - select which login elements should be visible in the "Server Information" table in the client area. Choose from: username, password, domain and web address.
• Log API Requests - if you enable it, information on API requests will be stored in the 'Module Log' section in your WHMCS.
• Login Restrictions - this enables a feature that enhances security by only issuing temporary passwords that ensure access is granted only for as long as needed.
• Remove Password - if enabled, the password will be removed from the database as soon as the project is created.
• Open Management Panel In New Window - decide whether the management panel should open in the same or a new window.
• Block Storage Limits Widget - block storage resource usage can be displayed in the admin and client area, include at least one resource to enable.

Compute, Block-Storage, Network, Load Balancer, Container Infrastructure, Traits -
these sections may vary depending on the project, some of them might be unavailable for your OpenStack project. You may easily adjust your product to your needs by modifying the available options. Type '-1' for unlimited.
Note: Keep in mind that in the case of Virtuozzo server 'Traits' stand for 'Placement Groups' endpoints.

Module Custom Web Hooks - here you may add the URL with WHMCS parameters to perform additional actions after the create/suspend/unsuspend/terminate/change package actions.
These hooks allow you to trigger actions on external servers or services via HTTP requests when certain events occur in WHMCS.

Module Custom Shell Hooks - enter the commands with WHMCS parameters to perform additional actions after the create/suspend/unsuspend/terminate/change package actions.
These hooks allow you to execute shell commands on your server when specific WHMCS package actions are triggered.
Please refer to the following section to correctly set up the openID configuration to connect to VHI correctly.

Select specific networks and IP address versions for custom parameter calculations.
Important: Advanced Billing For WHMCS version 4.x is required, previous versions are not supported.

Configurable options can be used by your clients to select each virtual machine parameter individually during order placement.
Otherwise, if configurable options are not defined, then the fixed parameters specified in the earlier configuration will be used instead.
If you decide to use configurable options, select the configurable options unit and then press the 'Create Configurable Options' button.

There is also an 'Alternative Mode' available, which changes the way the configurable options values are verified and calculated.
Select single configurable options and their values will be summed with the default product configuration values instead of overwriting them.

• Domain - on top of the hierarchy in OpenStack, domain includes all projects and users
  • User - a user can have domain roles and project roles assigned, when you log into OpenStack, you log into a user
  • Project - projects are created with the OpenStack Project For WHMCS module. It includes all remaining elements that are visible after logging into the user's panel, for example: virtual machines or networks

• Default Domain:
  • {exemplary_domain} - 'Project' and ' User' are created in a selected domain; the 'Inherit Domain Roles' switcher and 'Domain User Roles' dropdown disappear, this is where permissions to the domain are not granted
  • Create New One - if this option is selected, look at the 'Client Projects Mode' setting, as its selection is decisive now (a new domain per client or per service in WHMCS is created, all client services must have all projects assigned to one domain).

• Client Projects Mode
  • Default - every hosting creates a new domain (project and user), in this case name generated in 'Default Domain Name' should be unique (e.g. dependent on the Service ID in WHMCS)
  • Only one domain per client (with domain permissions) - the first service of the clients creates a domain, every next one assigns project and the new user to that domain (a user has all the permissions to the domain)
  • Only one domain per client (without domain permissions) - the first service of the clients creates a domain, every next one assigns project and the new user to that domain (a user has no permissions to the domain)
  • Only one domain and user per client - the first service of the client creates a domain and a user, every next service creates a project only within the existing domain

• Project User Roles - assigning project roles to a user, for example you need to select here the "image_upload" role to allow uploading images

• Inherit Domain Roles - if enabled, the user has the same roles assigned for both the domain and for the project

• Domain User Roles - if the above 'Inherit Domain Roles' option is disabled, the user has the selected here domain roles assigned and the 'with/without domain permissions' settings are overwritten.
  If left empty, the 'with/without domain permissions' setting is taken into consideration.
