To install pithos+, grab the packages from our repository (make sure  you made

should happen. Now, install the pithos web interface:

.. code-block:: console

   # apt-get install snf-pithos-webclient

This package provides the standalone pithos web client. The web client is the

web UI for pithos+ and will be accessible by clicking "pithos+" on the Astakos

interface's cloudbar, at the top of the Astakos homepage.

only need to change settings that have to do with pithos+. Specifically:

Then we need to setup the web UI and connect it to astakos. To do so, edit

``/etc/synnefo/20-snf-pithos-webclient-settings.conf``:

.. code-block:: console

   PITHOS_UI_LOGIN_URL = "https://node1.example.com/im/login?next="

   PITHOS_UI_FEEDBACK_URL = "https://node1.example.com/im/feedback"

The ``PITHOS_UI_LOGIN_URL`` option tells the client where to redirect you, if

you are not logged in. The ``PITHOS_UI_FEEDBACK_URL`` option points at the

pithos+ feedback form. Astakos already provides a generic feedback form for all

services, so we use this one.

Then edit ``/etc/synnefo/20-snf-pithos-webclient-cloudbar.conf``, to connect the

pithos+ web UI with the astakos web UI (through the top cloudbar):

.. code-block:: console

   CLOUDBAR_LOCATION = 'https://node1.example.com/static/im/cloudbar/'

   CLOUDBAR_ACTIVE_SERVICE = 'pithos'

   CLOUDBAR_SERVICES_URL = 'https://node1.example.com/im/get_services'

   CLOUDBAR_MENU_URL = 'https://node1.example.com/im/get_menu'

The ``CLOUDBAR_LOCATION`` tells the client where to find the astakos common

cloudbar.

The ``CLOUDBAR_ACTIVE_SERVICE`` registers the client as a new service served by

astakos. It's name should be identical with the ``id`` name given at the

astakos' ``ASTAKOS_CLOUD_SERVICES`` variable. Note that at the Astakos "Conf

Files" section, we actually set the third item of the ``ASTAKOS_CLOUD_SERVICES``

list, to the dictionary:

``{ 'url':'https://nod...', 'name':'pithos+', 'id':'pithos }``. This item

represents the pithos+ service. The ``id`` we set there, is the ``id`` we want

here.

The ``CLOUDBAR_SERVICES_URL`` and ``CLOUDBAR_MENU_URL`` options are used by the

pithos+ web client to get from astakos all the information needed to fill its

own cloudbar.  So we put our astakos deployment urls there.
