OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon)

Can`t i deploy Horizon with Quantum ?

Asked by koolhead17

Hi,
I wanted to know since local_settings.py makes an option to use quantum, why i cannot use Horizon without it?
Is it a mandatory package to have?

Or if i was not very clear with what i asked i will repeat it here again.

Why is Quantum package package to run Dashboard as dependency, when dashboard is technically independent of it.
local_settings.py suggests the same.

Quantum doesn't ship an API client separate from the core quantum package, and unfortunately Python package management doesn't allow for runtime (e.g. settings file) dependency management. Thereby it is currently included as a core dependency, as is Glance (which also doesn't ship a separate client).

I'm not saying this is entirely right, but this is the explanation for why it is the way it is. Hopefully that makes sense.

Hmm,
So next setup i will have glance/quantum/dash running on same box. :)

Thanks @Gabrieal just hoping the current bug to get fixed ASAP. :D
