Today I went to a local University and did a "what is OpenStack"
presentation. When I got to the demo part, (all in one, on a laptop) I
couldn't log in to Horizon, and didn't have time to troubleshoot
on-site. Back home again, and everything works perfectly.
So, in retrospect, this was a case of poor planning, but I'd like to
figure out how to have it not happen again, preferably even if I have to
do a demo that is completely off-line.
Is it simply a matter of changing 192.168.0.x to 127.0.0.1 in all of my
OpenStack configuration files, or is there going to be more to it than that?

Rich,
It sounds like maybe you had services configured to use an ip address
that was attached to your external interface that -- predictably --
changed when booting in a new environment.
I like to run OpenStack demos inside virtual machines in my laptop.
This makes the network configuration completely independent from my
laptop's external interface.
I use a MASQUERADE rule on the host to give instances in this
environment external access. That is, rather than attaching a
physical nic to br-ex, I just give br-ex an ip address and then set up
a masquerade rule for anything FROM that address range to eth0;
something like:
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 172.16.0.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

Rich,

Yep, I'd second the above comment. I do find it quite convenient to have
an OpenStack setup in virtual machines. I can even upload them to a
remote test machine to reproduce bugs, etc.

laptop's external interface.

Thanks for this tip, so far I got by w/o adding this rule.

That's, what I regularly do in my packstack config. Saves me lots of
headaches, as I have OpenStack directly installed on my laptop.
