Re: 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

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?

Best,
Jake

Hi All, I have been struggling with installing Openstack for the past 2 weeks and I am about to rip my own hair out.

<rant>
Does anyone have installation instructions that a human being can actually understand and follow? I am usually pretty good at installing new tech but OpenStack is the most convoluted environment (even worse documentation) I have ever come in contact with (Worse than IBM software). The advanced install and config of CloudStack 4.1 is a breeze compare to Openstack. Was this made to purposely line the pockets of Openstack deployment consulting companies? Openstack might be great but no one will know because its impossible to deploy.

I`m sure I am not the only one who feels this way. I would appreciate any help anyone can give. Someones blog, other installation methods, anything....

How many servers do you have?

Instructions for using the Ubuntu packaging are at:

There are different options depending on if it is for test or real world deployment and the number of servers you have.

Thank you very much
