Removing cinder from dashboard

Hello,

I just did yet another openstack-demo-install on some server and this 
one will not use swift and cinder, therefore I want it removed from the 
dashboard.
Merely uninstalling the packages didn't seem to do anything, except 
making dashboard spitting out an error about not being able to retrieve 
the quota.
Looking through the settings.py in /usr/share/openstack-dashboard there 
doesn't seem to be anything relevant to this and trying to remove the 
service via keystone service-delete borked the whole keystone auth for 
some reason.

Any pointers welcome.

Regards,
Lucian

As far as I know, this is one of those "patches welcome!" situations in the
dashboard.

Hi,

from
https://github.com/openstack/horizon in the
"Settings Up OpenStack" section
(it's their spelling, not mine):


The minimum required set of OpenStack services running includes the
following:

    Nova (compute, api, scheduler, network, and volume services)
    Glance
    Keystone


In general: the dashboard is configured through keystone, nothing else.
It might be possible to remove the dependency to volume service by the
following patch:

diff --git a/horizon/dashboards/nova/dashboard.py
b/horizon/dashboards/nova/dashboard.py

That's it.
