Advanced settings file

You can change Fleio options and behavior from the settings.py file as described below.

Note that, besides the backend settings described in this document, frontend settings are also available to personalize your installation.

Edit settings.py file

To edit the Fleio settings file please use the following command:

fleio edit settings.py

On exit, press “Y” if you want to restart Fleio and apply changes immediately. Or press “n” if you plan to manually restart Fleio later.

settings.py is stored in Docker container and you can also access with the Fleio utils container:

# launch the Fleio utils Docker container
fleio bash
# path of the settings file:
ls /var/webapps/fleio/project/fleio/fleiosettings/settings.py

Restarting Fleio

In order to restart Fleio you need to use the following command:

fleio restart

Django and DRF settings

The Fleio backend is built on Django web framework and Django REST framework. You can overwrite Django and DRF settings in the settings.py file, as well. Read about their available settings in the Django documentation and in the DRF documentation.

Fleio specific settings

Some advanced Fleio settings can only be changed by editing the settings file:

How to add custom menu items and categories

You are able to customize your menu by adding top level menu options with links, menu options underneath existing categories or even add new categories with menu options. To do so, you just need to edit your settings.py.

You need to edit some settings (available for both end-user and staff panel). These settings are: CUSTOM_MENU_CATEGORIES_ENDUSER, CUSTOM_MENU_OPTIONS_ENDUSER, CUSTOM_MENU_CATEGORIES_STAFF, CUSTOM_MENU_OPTIONS_STAFF.

To add a category, follow this example:

CUSTOM_MENU_CATEGORIES_ENDUSER = {
    'Category one': {
        'main_feature': 'core',
        'location': 2,
    },
    'Category two': {
        'main_feature': 'core',
        'location': 3,
    }
}

You may condition the category by any existing feature name in fleio (more on that here). You can use the core feature if you want your category to be always visible (‘core’ feature is always enabled). Also note the location setting, which allows you to specify where in the menu should the category appear. Note that counting starts from 0. Also, you should be careful not to use the same location for more than 1 custom category because this may raise issues in your application.

To add a menu option underneath a menu category (already existing in fleio or one that you created like described above), you may use the CUSTOM_MENU_OPTIONS settings for end-user and staff like in the following example:

CUSTOM_MENU_OPTIONS_ENDUSER = [
    {
        'category': 'Category one',
        'label': 'Option one',
        'href': 'https://fleio.com',
        'open_in_new_tab': True,
        'icon': 'warning',
        'feature': 'core',
    },
    {
        'category': 'Billing',
        'label': 'Custom product',
        'href': 'https://fleio.com',
        'open_in_new_tab': True,
        'icon': 'product',
        'feature': 'billing',
        'location': 2,
    },
]

As you may notice, there are several settings that you can use. Use the category attribute to specify under what category the new menu option should be placed, use label attribute to specify what will be the menu option’s name, href attribute for redirecting to a custom link, open_in_new_tab to make users open the link in new tab when clicking it, icon for displaying an icon to the left and feature to condition this menu option by a fleio feature. Again, you can use ‘core’ feature to make sure it will appear forever. Also, you can use the location attribute just like you did for categories.

To add a top level menu option (it will not be under any category) add a new option in the ‘CUSTOM_MENU_OPTIONS_ENDUSER’ setting just like above, but not using the category attribute. So, this may look like this:

CUSTOM_MENU_OPTIONS_ENDUSER = [
    {
        'label': 'Top level',
        'href': 'https://fleio.com',
        'open_in_new_tab': True,
        'icon': 'warning',
        'feature': 'core',
        'location': 6,
    },
]

For top level menu options, make sure their location is not the same with one defined for categories.

If you want to move the plugins position you can use the ENDUSER_PLUGINS_MENU_INSERT_INDEX variable. For example, if you want to make sure that the plugins (tickets and domains) are always at the bottom you need to add the following option in the settings.py file:

ENDUSER_PLUGINS_MENU_INSERT_INDEX = 1000

After editing the settings.py file, you must restart all the fleio services (see Restarting Fleio). If you are using the fleio edit settings.py command, you will be asked if you want to restart Fleio after saving any changes.

How to enable/disable features

Fleio is a modular application which allows you to enable or disable features for end-users and staff respectively.

The FEATURES dictionary allows you to enable or disable end-user features. The dictionary key identifies the feature and the dictionary value may have one of the following values:

  • True - feature is enabled

  • False - feature is disabled

The full features list is already present in base_settings.py, which contains default Fleio settings.

Important

Do not edit the base_settings.py file. It will be overwritten when Fleio is updated. Edit settings.py instead. settings.py contains your local installation information and is never overwritten by Fleio.

Features toggles have a tree-like structure and disabling a top feature would disable all it children. For instance, setting ‘openstack’: False, would all features beneath, like ‘openstack.instances’, ‘openstack.volumes’, ‘openstack.images’ etc.

Here’s how features are defined by default in base_settings.py.

And here’s how to enable or disable a feature. Let’s say we want to disable new users sign-up. Add the following line at the end of settings.py:

FEATURES['clients&users.signup'] = False

And let’s say that we want to enable floating IPs for staff. In order to enable a feature you have to make sure the top level feature is also enabled. To enable floating IPs just add the following lines at the end of settings.py:

STAFF_FEATURES['openstack'] = True
STAFF_FEATURES['openstack.floatingips'] = True

Override enduser features

End user features can be overridden for end users based on client group using the OVERRIDE_FEATURES setting. For example if you want to disable billing.addcredit for clients belonging to client group group1 your OVERRIDE_FEATURES settings should look like this:

OVERRIDE_FEATURES = {
    'group1': {
        'billing.addcredit': False
    }
}

Note that the override features are applied only in frontend and only in end user panel.

Configure custom add credit URL

You can use an external link, if you are using another system (like WHMCS) to handle invoicing and credit card payments rather than fleio. You can customize the add credit URL which will reflect in several places including the one in end-user dashboard. This will also be used when sending email notifications regarding client having low credit and being out of credit or on the end-user cloud resources create form when the client has a credit amount lower than the one required to create new resources (configurable from the fleio configurations)

Edit settings.py and add:

# Leave empty to use the default add credit URL of Fleio
# fill in 'client_group_name': 'http://url...' pairs when using an external billing
# when the dictionary has a single entry it will be used regardless of the 'client_group_name'
ADD_CREDIT_URLS = {}

Openstack pricing rule settings

Openstack pricing rule price decimals can be configured by updating PRICING_RULE_PRICE_MAX_DECIMAL_PLACES. Default value is 8, we do not recommend using a value greater than 8 since the least significant decimals may be ignored.

You can also configure minimum price per pricing rule by changing MINIMUM_PRICE_PER_RULE. Default value of 0.01 means any rule that applies to a resource will generate a price of at least 0.01 in the rule currency.

Note

Note that the MINIMUM_PRICE_PER_RULE setting will apply to all pricing rules and resources, except on the resources from the pricing rules that have the pricing rule for free setting (e.g. instance IPs).

SSO_MAX_AGE

External billing systems, like WHMCS, generate single sign-on URLs. For security reasons, SSO URLs contain a timestamp from the moment they were generated.

SSO_MAX_AGE specifies after how many seconds, from the generation time, the single sign-on URL expires.

If single sign-on ULR is expired, it won’t work anymore.

PROXY_SETTINGS

If you are behind a proxy server, you must set this variable, to access the licensing server for setting the license.

Set it to: PROXY_SETTINGS = {‘https’: ‘<ip>:<port>’, }. For example:

PROXY_SETTINGS = {'https': '10.10.1.11:1080', }

Adjusting throttle rates

The default throttle rates are defined in /var/webapps/fleio/project/fleio/base_settings.py file. This means that at every update they will be reset to their default value so in order to change them you need to overwrite them in the settings.py file file.

The code from bellow must be added at the end of the settings.py file:

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_MODEL_SERIALIZER_CLASS': 'rest_framework.serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer',
    'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': [
        'rest_framework.permissions.IsAuthenticated',
    ],
    'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
        'rest_framework.authentication.TokenAuthentication',
        'fleio.core.drf.FakeFormBasedAuthentication',
        'rest_framework.authentication.SessionAuthentication',
    ),
    'PAGE_SIZE': 20,
    'DEFAULT_PAGINATION_CLASS': 'fleio.core.drf.FleioPaginationSerializer',
    'NUM_PROXIES': 0,
    'DEFAULT_THROTTLE_RATES': {
        'login': '60/hour',
        'django_admin': '60/hour',
        'signup': '2/day',
        'confirm_email': '100/day',
        'resend_email_verification': '100/day',
        'password_reset': '10/hour',
        'gateway_callback': '1000/hour',
        'anonymous_sms_authenticator': '60/hour',
        'sms_sending': '15/hour',
    },
    'DEFAULT_VERSIONING_CLASS': 'fleio.core.drf.FleioVersioning',
    'DEFAULT_RENDERER_CLASSES': (
        'rest_framework.renderers.JSONRenderer',
        # uncomment the following line to enable the browsable api
        # 'rest_framework.renderers.BrowsableAPIRenderer',
        'fleio.core.drf.FleioJsonRenderer',
    ),
    'EXCEPTION_HANDLER': 'fleio.core.drf_exception_handler.drf_exception_handler'
}

After editing the settings.py file, you must restart the fleio services. See Restarting Fleio.

Adjusting the celery beat tasks schedule

If you want to change the schedule of the celery beat tasks (such as process clients cron, collect traffic data and so on), you will need to uncomment the following code from the settings.py file.

After that, you need to replace the default value (15) with the desired value. We recommend that the process clients cron and collect traffic data to be run at least once every 15 minutes.

CELERY_BEAT_SCHEDULE = {
    'process_clients_task_every_15_minutes': {
        'task': 'Process clients task',
        'schedule': crontab(minute='*/15')
    },
    'collect_traffic_data_task_every_15_minutes': {
        'task': 'Collect traffic data task',
        'schedule': crontab(minute='*/15')
    },
    'update_exchange_rates_task_at_midnight': {
        'task': 'Update exchange rates task',
        'schedule': crontab()
    },
    'process_scheduled_backups_task_every_15_minutes': {
        'task': 'Process scheduled backups task',
        'schedule': crontab(minute='*/15')
    },
    'sync_hypervisors_task_every_60_minutes': {
        'task': 'Hypervisors background synchronization',
        'schedule': crontab(minute='*/60')
    },
}

After changing the settings.py file you will have to restart Fleio services. Please see Restarting Fleio.

Configurable password strength

Fleio handles the password strength using several variables. The default complexity is the following:

ENDUSER_PASSWORD_MIN_LEN = 8
ENDUSER_PASSWORD_REGEXES = [
    '[a-z]',  # password should contain a lower case letter
    '[A-Z]',  # password should contain a upper case letter
    '[0-9]',  # password should contain a digit
    r"[ !#$@%&'()*+?><,-./[\\\]\^_`{|}~" + r'"]'  # password should contain one of the special characters
]
ENDUSER_PASSWORD_LENGTH_ERROR = _('Password should be at least {} characters long'.format(ENDUSER_PASSWORD_MIN_LEN))
ENDUSER_PASSWORD_COMPLEXITY_ERROR = _(

    'Password should have at least: one lower case letter, one upper case letter,'
    ' one number and one special character ( !#$@%&\'()*+?><,-./[\\\\]^_`{|}~")'
)

RESELLER_PASSWORD_MIN_LEN = 8
RESELLER_PASSWORD_REGEXES = [
    '[a-z]',  # password should contain a lower case letter
    '[A-Z]',  # password should contain a upper case letter
    '[0-9]',  # password should contain a digit
    r"[ !#$@%&'()*+?><,-./[\\\]\^_`{|}~" + r'"]'  # password should contain one of the special characters
]
RESELLER_PASSWORD_LENGTH_ERROR = _('Password should be at least {} characters long'.format(ENDUSER_PASSWORD_MIN_LEN))

]
RESELLER_ROOT_PASSWORD_LENGTH_ERROR = _(
    'Password should be at least {} characters long'.format(ENDUSER_PASSWORD_MIN_LEN)
)
RESELLER_ROOT_PASSWORD_COMPLEXITY_ERROR = _(
    'Password should have at least: one lower case letter, one upper case letter,'
    ' one number and one special character ( !#$@%&\'()*+?><,-./[\\\\]^_`{|}~")'
)

STAFF_PASSWORD_MIN_LEN = 8

    'Password should have at least: one lower case letter, one upper case letter,'
    ' one number and one special character ( !#$@%&\'()*+?><,-./[\\\\]^_`{|}~")'
)

Variables ending with _PASSWORD_REGEXES contain a list of regular expressions used for password validation. A password is considered valid if it matches all the regexes.

After you configure them by your needs you must restart the fleio services. See Restarting Fleio.

Default OpenStack object names

Fleio creates a new security group for each client (OpenStack project) the first time an instance is created. And this new security group will be automatically added to all instances the end-user creates.

By default this security group is called fleio and has description fleio. You can change the default name and description by adding these lines in your settings.py file:

# Name of the security group that is automatically created when the end-user creates the first instance
SECURITY_GROUP_NAME = 'fleio'
# Description of the same automatically created security group
SECURITY_GROUP_DESCRIPTION = 'fleio'

Default security group rules

Security groups are actually firewall rules in OpenStack. Though, the rules are not defined inside the virtual machine (instance), but on the networking layer (OpenStack Neutron project).

Fleio creates a security group automatically when the first instance is created for a client. To customize the name and the description of this security group see previous section.

The default Fleio security rules of this automatically created security group will allow all IPv4 and IPv6 traffic:

DEFAULT_IPV4_SECURITY_RULE_LIST = [
    {
        'direction': 'ingress',
        'remote_ip_prefix': '0.0.0.0/0',
    },
]

DEFAULT_IPV6_SECURITY_RULE_LIST = [
    {
        'direction': 'ingress',
        'remote_ip_prefix': '::/0',
        'ethertype': 'IPv6',
    },
]

You can customize the two list of rules in your settings.py. Note that each of the two settings consists of a list of Python dictionaries. Each dictionary is a security rule.

You can find here the possible dictionary keys: https://github.com/openstack/neutron/blob/34448578cba471a0a4f1b49308eeb5c54009a725/neutron/db/securitygroups_db.py#L403

And a description of each key here: https://docs.openstack.org/python-openstackclient/train/cli/command-objects/security-group-rule.html

One dictionary key is a parameter of a security rule. For security group rules that uses ports you will have to specify the protocol type.

The most common security group rules are the following:

DEFAULT_IPV4_SECURITY_RULE_LIST = [
    {
        'direction': 'ingress',
        'remote_ip_prefix': '0.0.0.0/0',
        'port_range_min': '22',
        'port_range_max': '22',
        'protocol': 'tcp',
    },
    {
        'direction': 'ingress',
        'remote_ip_prefix': '0.0.0.0/0',
        'port_range_min': '80',
        'port_range_max': '80',
        'protocol': 'tcp',
    },
    {
        'direction': 'ingress',
        'remote_ip_prefix': '0.0.0.0/0',
        'port_range_min': '443',
        'port_range_max': '443',
        'protocol': 'tcp',
    },
    {
        'direction': 'ingress',
        'remote_ip_prefix': '0.0.0.0/0',
        'port_range_min': '3389',
        'port_range_max': '3389',
        'protocol': 'tcp',
    },
]

DEFAULT_IPV6_SECURITY_RULE_LIST = [
    {
        'direction': 'ingress',
        'remote_ip_prefix': '::/0',
        'ethertype': 'IPv6',
        'port_range_min': '22',
        'port_range_max': '22',
        'protocol': 'tcp',
    },
    {
        'direction': 'ingress',
        'remote_ip_prefix': '::/0',
        'ethertype': 'IPv6',
        'port_range_min': '80',
        'port_range_max': '80',
        'protocol': 'tcp',
    },
    {
        'direction': 'ingress',
        'remote_ip_prefix': '::/0',
        'ethertype': 'IPv6',
        'port_range_min': '443',
        'port_range_max': '443',
        'protocol': 'tcp',
    },
    {
        'direction': 'ingress',
        'remote_ip_prefix': '::/0',
        'ethertype': 'IPv6',
        'port_range_min': '3389',
        'port_range_max': '3389',
        'protocol': 'tcp',
    },
]

Note that you do not need to set security group for all outbound traffic (egress on 0.0.0.0/0 and ::/0) since these are created by default on each security group.

Notifications logging settings

For debug purposes, you can enable logging of RabbitMQ notifications that Fleio receives from OpenStack.

You can define a list of strings in OPENSTACK_EVENT_NOTIFICATIONS_LOGGING_KEYWORDS. When notification messages are received, if the notification name contains any of the strings in the OPENSTACK_EVENT_NOTIFICATIONS_LOGGING_KEYWORDS list, it will be logged. Notifications are logged in the fleio_log docker volume. You can see the log content by entering the utils container with the fleio bash command and then running cat /var/log/fleio/os_event_notifications.txt.

Configuration example:

OPENSTACK_EVENT_NOTIFICATIONS_LOGGING_KEYWORDS = ['instance', 'project']
# Will log event notification to /var/log/fleio/os_event_notifications.txt that contain or ar the same as the keywords
# defined here. Example: OPENSTACK_EVENT_NOTIFICATIONS_LOGGING_KEYWORDS = ['instance', 'snapshot.update.start', 'identity']
# Change OPENSTACK_EVENT_NOTIFICATIONS_LOGGING_VERBOSE value to show whole notification or just a summary

If '*' is specified, it will log all notification messages received from OpenStack. Note that this may generate a high number of I/O operations on local storage. Therefore it is not recommended to permanently have all notifications logged in a busy production environment.

Here’s how you can use OpenStack notifications logging for debugging:

OPENSTACK_EVENT_NOTIFICATIONS_LOGGING_KEYWORDS = ['*']  # will log all notifications

By default, OPENSTACK_EVENT_NOTIFICATIONS_LOGGING_VERBOSE is False and Fleio will simply log the notification name. If you want to log the detailed JSON notification payload, then set:

OPENSTACK_EVENT_NOTIFICATIONS_LOGGING_VERBOSE = True

Direct admin licensing module

In order to be able to use the Direct Admin licensing module you need to add the following dictionary in your settings.py file:

DIRECT_ADMIN = {
    'CLIENT_UID': '<YOUR_DA_ACCOUNT_UID>',
    'CLIENT_PASSWORD': '<YOUR_DA_ACCOUNT_PASSWORD>',

Exclude backup volumes from sync

New in version 2022.05.1.

During some operations (e.g. volume backup) OpenStack will create temporary, short lived volumes that are of no interest. No notifications are generated for these volumes and they will not usually be visible in Fleio however if you run sync with this setting set to False these volumes may be added to Fleio database. Enabling this setting will exclude volumes named backup-vol-UUID where UUID is a valid uuid during sync. This setting will have effect only if consumes_quota attribute is not available for volumes (cinder API ver < 3.65). If consume_quota attribute is available all volumes with consume_quota will be ignored during sync.

EXCLUDE_SYNC_RESLOG_BACKUP_TEMP_VOLUMES = False
