Open Stack Installation

In this guide we will go over the installation steps for OpenStack on bare metal, with xubuntu as a host OS

  1. First make sure you have snap installed on the system, as we will be using snap to install the beta branch of Open stack, for single or small nodes called 'microstack".

  2. Install microstack using sudo snap install microstack --devmode --beta

A good install will output microstack (beta) ussuri from Canonical✓ installed

  1. Once installed initialize microstack for the first time, and preform setup with sudo microstack init --auto --control

Note: This will take up to 30 minutes to start

  1. You should now be able to access the UI of the install at http://10.20.20.1

Access the default password for microstack by running sudo microstack init --auto --control

  1. Now that we have web access we can start up a test VM using open stacks "CirrOS" that comes out of the box:

Run microstack launch cirros --name test

Then use SSH to access it using the SSH output from the run, and the cert generated.
