- Rewrite purpose/features intro around libvirt as single source of truth
- Generate SECRET_KEY into data/secret_key instead of editing settings.py
- Consolidate local development setup into one flow using
--system-site-packages, settings-dev and runserver --nostatic
- Document the generated admin password instead of admin/admin
- Use the shared supervisor config on RHEL (adds missing socketiod)
and add supervisor setup on openSUSE
- Document SOCKETIO_PUBLIC_PORT and CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS for proxies
- Point test setup at the dev virtualenv
runserver imports the WSGI application from a worker thread, where
signal.signal() raises ValueError and the dev server fails to start.
Gunicorn imports it from the worker's main thread, so production
keeps reaping child processes as before.
- Computes API: mark password as write_only in ComputeSerializer, restrict ComputeViewSet and architectures to IsAdminUser.
- Instances API: enforce user ownership tenant isolation in InstanceViewSet.list, restrict MigrateViewSet and CreateInstanceViewSet to IsAdminUser, require IsAdminUser for mutating FlavorViewSet.
- Storage, Network, and Interface APIs: restrict StorageViewSet, VolumeViewSet, NetworkViewSet, InterfaceViewSet to IsAdminUser.
- AppSettings & NWFilters: protect appsettings and nwfilter views with @superuser_only (403 Forbidden for non-superusers).
- noVNC Console: sign tokens with TimestampSigner (salt='console.novnc', max_age=600), verify signature and user authorization in novncd with backward-compatible fallback for debug/test mode.
- Accounts: avoid hardcoded default admin password; generate cryptographically secure random password unless ADMIN_PASSWORD is set (preserve 'admin' in test runner).
- gstfsd daemon: bind to 127.0.0.1 by default instead of 0.0.0.0.
- Tests: added comprehensive test coverage for API security, token expiration/rejection, and view permissions (132 tests passing).
