The automate build process is 90% implemented, I think. First, what the current build script did are: 1. install and config xen/xcp/network, then reboot into ubuntu dom0(devcloudsetup.sh -p) 2. create primary storage and secondary storage pool, download default templates, download cloudstack git repo etc (devcloudsetup.sh -P) The known stuffs left are: 1. Need to automate CloudStack management server installation. We need a preinstalled CloudStack mgt server in DevCloud, for ordinary user. The main issue is that on master branch, DEB build is broken, and mgt server doesn't work on Ubuntu 12.04(such as tomcat6.conf is changed, some jar files are changed, not include in the class path etc). I manually hacked the DEB build and then changed a lot of files to get it work. 2. Minor one: such as setting root password to "password", set dom0 mem to 512M 3. There are two default templates I haven't upload to public domain. A tiny user PV VM template(using http://www.xen.org/files/ttylinux-i486-8.0.img + debian dom0 kernel) is created, but haven't automated the creating process. 4. Need to document or automate the VirtualBox image or ova creating process, such as what's the hardware configuration for the VM, what's the Port Forwarding rules we are using, etc. The above Item 3, I can upload this two templates to public domain ASAP, don't know if any other items anybody has interest in? > > One thing that I really liked about the OpenStack project's DevStack, > is that it is really a set of scripts that build an environment from a > fresh install of Ubuntu OR Fedora.
