How to change pkgcloud Openstack from Keystone API v2 to v3 for OVH

Last updated on March 13th, 2020 at 05:12 am

From my previous post, it gives example for php-opencloud for Openstack. You may using pkgcloud for nodeJS, so here is the example settings that you may need.

If you are using pkgcloud and was using API v2, you should update the code to v3. The documents doesn’t provide detail for the setting on OVH. So I make a copy in here.

Keystone API v2 for pgkcloud

var pkgcloud = require('pkgcloud');
var openstack = pkgcloud.storage.createClient({
	provider: 'openstack',
	region: '{region}',
	username: '{username}',
	password: '{password}',
	authUrl: 'https://auth.cloud.ovh.net/',
});

You should change to the example below.

Keystone API v3 pkgcloud

var pkgcloud = require('pkgcloud');
var openstack = pkgcloud.storage.createClient({
	provider: 'openstack',
	keystoneAuthVersion: 'v3',
	authUrl: 'https://auth.cloud.ovh.net/',
	region: '{region}',
	username: '{username}',
	password: '{password}',
	domainId: 'default',
	domainName: '{projectID}',
});

You may use openstack.auth to test your identity access.

openstack.auth(function(err) {
    if (err) {
        console.error(err);
    }
    else {
        console.log(openstack._identity);
    }
});
