Hi Mohammed,

Xenial doesn't fit my needs in other ways, so reverting to it isn't an option, and I also want to use bionic's spin of openstack rather than run with packages from another repo, nor wait for an unspecified period for Rocky's appearance. I am prepared to invest some time in debugging this build, but I was hoping for some assistance here out of courtesy.

The only reason I looked at os-a was that configuring openstack on its own was unfathomably complex. Even with ansible it is still very complex for what I feel should be a simple task. I don't really understand why there isn't a default usable (i.e. one-box cloud) configuration in the .rpm/.deb packages which users can then extend and adapt, as with other similar tools.

Where would I look for the current work on the os-a rocky update? perhaps I can derive something useful from that.

Regards,
Ruth

Hi there,

Bionic isn't current supported and we're working on adding support for
it in the Rocky cycle!  We recommend you deploy on Xenial.

Thanks,

I am interpreting the fatal error as some sort of missing config, which is
why I included the warnings that happened earlier in the above. Is that
right? Is there any way I can isolate where exactly in the ansible setup
this happens?

The only significant changes I've made to the ansible setup are

- comment out `linux-image-extra-{{ ansible_kernel }}` package from the
ubuntu config as it no longer exists.
- create /etc/ansible/.../*ubuntu-18.04.yml files by copying the equivalent
ubuntu-16.04.yml file, where no 18.04 version was already present.

~/openstack-ansible$ sudo openstack-ansible playbooks/setup-hosts.yml

Context: I want to run openstack on ubuntu bionic, and using ansible seemed
to be the best way forward. I know openstack-ansible is only supported on
xenial, but as I'm a software developer I thought I'd give it a go. I first
commented out the OS checks... and have got a good deal of progress since.
However, I have hit a problem and am hoping someone can help.

I also posted this question on the ask.openstack pages but it's still
awaiting moderation :(
