Re: CPU Core Consumption High

This caught me before as well. By default resource.count.running.vms.only is set to false, so resources are counted for all VMs. On clusters I run I set this to true so that only running VMs are counted for resource use. I have not tested 4.19 yet, but assume the setting stayed the same.

Re: AW: Golden images Management

I use an ansible play with custom roles, plus some manual steps. I haven't gotten around to automating those manual steps because on both clusters I run I'm the main (or only) user. If the image needs more consistent and frequent updates I'll re-evaluate. Darren -- This e-mail is confidential.

Re: Redirect HTTP 8080 to HTTPS 8443 on Cloudstack 4.17.1.0

2022-12-06 Thread Darren Cole
At one point I tried using Cloudstack for terminating the SSL, but have since switched to Apache because that is easier. Apache handles SSL termination and proxies the 443 connection to Cloudstack localhost 8080. I have Cloudstack only binding 8080 to localhost, so it is not accessible except

I haven two cluster setup, both on Ubuntu LTS and kvm. This has worked fine. BUT. One cluster is a tiny two node compute with 1 Raspberry Pi running all storage and management. Storage is a bit slow, but a dedicated external usb with an SSD was quite a bit faster. It is a toy compared to

Re: Cloudstack installation on Debian 11

Jordan, Depends on why it is not installable. Usually Debian, or Ubuntu, will give some details on why something is not installable but that information can be incomplete. I've had to use apt show , or dpkg directly, to figure out what actually went wrong and how to fix it. I'd look at packages

Re: ssh key pairs not working for ubuntu VM

I've gotten templates Ubuntu 20.04 (and 18.04) built for my Cloudstack clusters. The iso out of the box didn't work, or at least required me to access the console to get the initial install done. I have a two step process I've described before, and am still waiting on approval for some ansible

Re: Root disk resizing

2021-10-12 Thread Darren Cole
Growing xfs root partitions works for my templates, but we are not using lvm on our templates. My cloudstack clusters are using KVM. So these comments may not be helpful on what works. I tried to keep as much of the default cloud-init config on all the distros I've built templates for (Ubuntu,

Re: How to create Templates in CloudStack

2021-09-19 Thread Darren Cole
I've used cloud-init and would vote for that. What I've done is create bare minimum templates with ssh, redhat-lsb as appropriate, and a known password. I refer to these as stepping stone templates that only exist for admins to create templates from absolutely bare minimal installs. I have

Re: vm template with data disk

2021-09-17 Thread Darren Cole
I would think you could overcome this to some extant with cloud-init on linux. But... Would require user to add a data disk when creating instance. Limited to the 1 disk in the add instance wizard. Possible errors if no data disk added by user. Requires custom cloud-init configuration baked into

I have two cloudstack clusters I installed and manage. One is my personal two node cluster, and the other is an experimental 5 node cluster for work. These are both side projects, so time configuring and managing them is limited. In both cases I configured an Apache proxy in front of

Re: Ansible deploy cloudstack and add zone

In the past I've installed CloudStack on two nodes with ansible, then manually created the zones, pods, and cluster. I have some newer ansible based on that, but it is still a work in progress. You can find it here: https://gitlab.com/coledarr/cloudstack-roles I've done some experiments using
