Hi,

I'm currently evaluating using the opennebula 3.2 self service portal
to allow end users to create/start/run their own vms, but I noticed
that at the moment the only way for a new user to create a new virtual
disk image is to upload their own image via their browser.

Currently on the command line we can get them to create a new virtual
disk using a disk image template similar to something like

NAME          = "gg-devel"
PATH          = /var/lib/one/importimages/centos6blank.img
PUBLIC        = NO
DESCRIPTION   = "ggillies centos 6 devel vm"
PERSISTENT    = YES

Where /var/lib/one/importimages contains a bunch of different image
files we have created for people to import/use.

Is there a possibility that the self service portal could be altered
so that either we could provide users the option of a filled in
dropdown box of disk images from a defined directory to use, and also
have the possibility to disable uploading disk images by the browser
altogether (perhaps by turning off a plugin the yaml?). Perhaps even
just an option to enter in a local path to use as the PATH element for
the disk image might be sufficient if a populated drop down can't be
made.

I'm curious what other people think, or have done something similar.

Regards,

Graeme
