Re: [Openstack] How to Install OpenStack ???????????
Hello Everyone, I am new to OpenStack, and could not resist this thread. For someone just coming in and trying to put together a deployed instance of OpenStack what would be the best up-to-date documentation to refer to. We want to build everything from scratch using the latest stable source.

Re: [Openstack] How to Install OpenStack ???????????
Thanks everyone for your help and encouragement! A lot of great suggestions and I really appreciate them all. It's had been hard to wrap my head around the many different ways to deploy openstack. Reading every method has confused me even more. I will give some of these a try next week and hopefully I will be successful.

Hi Jake, I think I understand what you're going through: the pain you're reporting is unfortunately known and not rare. The documentation team is aware that the installation instructions are in urgent need for attention. The reasons for this technical debt is that the documentation team has given priority to documenting the general aspects of OpenStack. Writing an installation guide that is general/generic for all sorts of possible combinations is too complicated, so that task was given lower priority (the books like Operations Guide and Security Guide were given higher priority, in case you asked). So, while knowing this won't help you ease your pain, I hope it sheds some light on the reasons why the official installation documentation is behind the rest of the docs. To close the technical debt, Anne and the rest of the documentation team will be working on a set of *opinionated* install guides. Acknowledging that installing a complex system like OpenStack is (ahem) complex, what makes it simpler is to make assumptions that reduce the variables. The reasons why you see so many blog posts, small install guides, etc is that these make assumptions to reduce the number of variables like: do I use one or three or more nodes? nova network or neutron? swift? how to configure keystone auth? what networking topology? where do I put the dashboard? how about HA? etc This is a call to anybody interested in documenting OpenStack installation: join the documentation team and contribute your expertise to write an *opinionated* guide to install OpenStack. It won't be the ultimate guide to install OpenStack in all possible scenarios but it will be a way to start. https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Documentation https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Documentation/HowTo thanks stef -- Ask and answer questions on https://ask.openstack.org ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Re: [Openstack] How to Install OpenStack ???????????
I think these are the 3 best options for an automated OpenStack install: RDO (Packstack), supports RHEL, CentOS, Fedora. MAAS/Juju, supports Ubuntu. Mirantis Fuel, supports RHEL/CentOS for now, they say Ubuntu support is coming. Try all 3 if you can. Fuel was just recently open sourced and has a pretty fancy web GUI.

Re: [Openstack] How to Install OpenStack ???????????
I was able to go from nothing to a running Openstack environment using Ubuntu Juju/MAAS inside 2 weeks with no prior knowledge or experience with Juju nor MAAS nor Openstack. The trick seemed to be having enough boxes as some charms didn't seem to like running on the same boxes or whatever, and I ended up with a non-functional dashboard when trying to install all the services to the same box. Currently I have it working well with 7 physical boxes in total with one of those being a nova-compute node.

Hi You can use this guide to. https://github.com/mseknibilel/OpenStack-Grizzly-Install-Guide Good luck Claudio Marques claudio@onesource.pthttp://www.onesource.pt/ From: luisguilherme...@gmail.com Date: Fri, 12 Jul 2013 09:56:18 -0300 To: dj_dark_jungl...@yahoo.com CC: openstack@lists.launchpad.net Subject: Re: [Openstack] How to Install OpenStack ??? Hello Jake, I am new at OpenStack too, and I'm running a little environment with three computers, one is the controller + network node and the others are compute node. I've been following the manual at the OpenStack's documentation page but it's attached here, the most mess part is to create the networks, I ran the script attached too. Hope it helps you. Regards. Guilherme. 2013/7/12 Jake G. Hi Mark, Thanks for your reply. I have about 3 physical rack servers and practically unlimited virtual machines. Right now I only need a test environment. I was thinking one physical server that will house and power openstack instances and virtual for all the other roles. How does that sound? What is your recommended setup?

Re: [Openstack] How to Install OpenStack ???????????
Hi Jake, If you just want a test env, RDO would get you up and running. When you plan to use OpenStack for production, you may need to know more about openstack internals: such as working through one of the openstack manuals etc. Cheers, Heling On 07/12/2013 08:47 PM, Jake G. wrote: Hi Mark, Thanks for your reply.

Hi Mark, Thanks for your reply. I have about 3 physical rack servers and practically unlimited virtual machines. Right now I only need a test environment.

Re: [Openstack] How to Install OpenStack ???????????
Hi, There are a number of ways of going about this: 1. You can run devstack (www.devstack.org<http://www.devstack.org>). This is from the sources. 2. You can do installation via the manuals 3. RDO also has a very nice and easy way of going about things - it make use of packstack - http://openstack.redhat.com/Quickstart Hope that this helps Thanks Gary From: Openstack [mailto:openstack-bounces+gkotton=vmware@lists.launchpad.net] On Behalf Of Jake G.
