Pretty sure that if getting the management server up and running was as simple as... 1. Install CentOS 2. yum install cloudstack 3. setup-cloudstack-all-in-one.sh ...we'd see many more people at least trying it out.
Some might see the current installation options as easy enough but if someone could get it up and running without even looking at the docs, I reckon they'd be more likely to do it and then consult the docs when they got stuck. If the packages could be put into the centos-extras repo that would do the trick. I'm sure there's more to it than my simplistic idea but could we discuss the viability of this? We could do with a one-stop script that does everything for the user including installing the mysql/mariadb server aspect & even setting up NFS shares on the same box (leaving the other more granular setup scripts for 'advanced' users. If centos-extras is not feasible, how about EPEL? Might even get some Fedora people interested as well (if it works on Fedora). Pretty sure that this particular CentOS SIG is about running the management/infrastructure side of things as opposed to running centos as a guest in case anyone is unsure. Although clearly related, earlier comments about cloud-init are surely more related to another CentOS SIG (Cloud Instance) aren't they? Adrian -----Original Message----- From: Nux!
