deploy

Starts the full OpenStack deployment on the current node.

Syntax:

deploystack deploy [options]

Arguments

Argument	Default	Description
--allinone	—	Generate an automatic configuration on the system and automatically start the deployment.
--config-file	—	Start deployment from an existing configuration file.
--install-cinder {yes,no}	yes	Install the Cinder (Block Storage) service if set to yes.
--install-horizon {yes,no}	yes	Install Horizon (Dashboard) if set to yes.
--lvm-image-size-in-gb	5	LVM image size for Cinder.
--neutron-driver {ovs,ovn}	ovs	Network driver to use for Neutron.
--generate-only	—	Generate the configuration automatically without starting the deployment.

Examples

Generate a pre-compiled configuration file without deploying:

deploystack deploy --allinone --generate-only

Then start the deployment using the generated file:

deploystack deploy --config-file openstack-config-xxxx.yaml

---

generate-config

Generates an empty template configuration file that must be filled in manually before deployment.

Syntax:

deploystack generate-config FILE_PATH

Example

deploystack generate-config ~/openstack-config.yaml

Note: deploy --allinone --generate-only creates a pre-compiled configuration file for the current system, while generate-config creates an empty file that you must compile manually.
