Horizon plugins are not loaded

[Radomir Dopieralski]

While all the RPMs for the Horizon's plugins (manila, murano, sahara, etc.) are installed properly, the installation script deletes their configuration files from /usr/share/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard/local/enabled/ which prevents them from being loaded by Horizon.

The culprit seems to be this commit: https://github.com/openstack/kolla/commit/32e68de94c5e59e2ccb05bad43ac89d6ea5e7146

I proposed a patch for this, but I'm not sure this is actually as simple as this: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/510160/1

hi Radomir,
all the plugins configuration should be loaded automatically.
so delete it from images and copy the plugin configuration during start the container.

Hi, I'm RDO release wrangler, just to say that if an endpoint is not available, corresponding plugin is not enabled. No need to delete anything whether on the image or the package.
Also we can't change package to fit Kolla use case as we have many more consumers, package has been designed to fit as many reasonable use cases including Kolla's.
Feel free to ping me or contact rdo folks through our list or irc channel (#rdo @ freenode)

I think we can safely remove the whole plugin-related logic from Kolla in there, since there is no need to individually enable or disable plugins — they can be all enabled, and if the corresponding service is not available, will simply not be active in Horizon.

Haikel,

Kolla hasn't asked for specific plugin enablement in horizon packages, as this would increase the RDO footprint beyond what you may already support. RDO is the best expert in what they feel are necessary plugins for that particular distribution. That said, the source implementation should enable plugins for all supported packages, so we need to be able to handle both scenarios correctly.

Jeffrey, any thoughts?

Cheers
