Mist.io helps you manage and monitor your virtual machines, across different clouds, using any device that can access the web. It is provided under the GNU AGPL v3.0 License. Check out the freemium service at https://mist.io

Installation

Mist.io is written in Python. Currently it is tested and developed using Python 2.7. The only system wide requirements are Python, Python header files and some basic build tools. Git is used for revision control. Every other dependency is build automatically via zc.buildout. Although we use zc.buildout it is recommended to install mist.io in a virtualenv to avoid conflicts with eggs in the system's Python.

To install the basic requirements in a Debian based distro do:

System Message: WARNING/2 (<string>, line 20)

Literal block expected; none found.

sudo aptitude install python-dev build-essential git

If you wish to install it in a virtual environment you'll also need:

System Message: WARNING/2 (<string>, line 24)

Literal block expected; none found.

sudo aptitude install python-virtualenv

In MacOSX you have to install Xcode and its command line tools. For virtualenv you simply run:

System Message: WARNING/2 (<string>, line 29)

Literal block expected; none found.

sudo easy_install virtualenv

In MacOSX there might be some problems with certificates. To solve the issue donwload a pem from http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html rename it to curl-ca-bundle.crt and save it to /opt/local/share/curl/ or to /usr/share/curl/ca-bundle.crt. Check out this gist https://gist.github.com/1stvamp/2158128

Supposing you have all the above, the steps are simple. Clone the repository, create a virtualenv and run buildout:

System Message: WARNING/2 (<string>, line 39)

Literal block expected; none found.

git clone https://github.com/mistio/mist.io.git cd mist.io virtualenv --no-site-packages . ./bin/python bootstrap.py ./bin/buildout -v

Deployment

Mist.io comes with two sets of deployment options, one suited for production environments and one for develompent.

To get it up and running for production:

./bin/paster serve production.ini

For development mode:

./bin/paster serve development.ini --reload

With the --reload flag, whenever there are changes in Python code and templates the server will automatically restart to load the new version. Changes in css and javascript don't need a restart to show up. To stop it, simply press CTRL+C.
