Juju Quickstart helps both new and experienced users quickly start Juju
from Ubuntu. Francesco Banconi led the project, and he and the GUI team
did a great job with it.
Juju Quickstart is a command-line tool that quickly starts Juju and the
GUI, whether you've never installed Juju or you have an existing Juju
environment running.
Features include the following:
* New users are guided, as needed, to install Juju, set up SSH keys, and
configure it for first use.
* Juju environments can be created and managed from a command line
interactive session.
* The Juju GUI is automatically installed, adding no additional machines
(installing on an existing state server when possible).
* Bundles can be deployed, from local files, HTTP(S) URLs or the charm
store, so that a complete topology of services can be set up in one
simple command.
* Quickstart ends by opening the browser and automatically logging the
user into the GUI, to observe and manage the environment visually.
* Users with a running Juju environment can run the quickstart command
again to simply re-open the GUI without having to find the proper URL
and password.
To install and start Juju Quickstart, run the following:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:juju/stable
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install juju-quickstart
juju-quickstart [-i]
Run "juju-quickstart -h" for a list of all the available options.
Once Juju has been installed, the command can also be run as a juju
plugin, without the hyphen ("juju quickstart").
While the project is currently Ubuntu-only, Mac support could be added
relatively quickly. Windows support will take more time. As noted
previously, juju-quickstart does not yet work on Trusty but the related
issues will be addressed soon.
