Sounds like a great idea. Would it be a lot of work to build it?

Hi All,

I actually did this a long time ago for Cloud.com - called "Cloud.com in a Box" (so we are talking early versions of CloudStack - 2.2 and 3.0). It was an ISO image that would automatically install CloudStack on physical machines:

- CloudStack Management Server
- One ore more compute nodes

This was using KVM in the compute nodes.

Link here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/usharesoftvapps/files/uss-clouddotcom/

There was actually a video done showing the process:

There was a wizard to guide you through the process, but the actual install and configuration was done automatically. It was a prototype to showcase some of our own packaging tools at the time.

Would this be something interesting to restart ?
Best

What *I* would wish (if wishes were horsesÅ ) would be a process similar to
vagrant.
stackmaker init basic
stackmaker up

Where stackmaker is a yet-to-be-invented-and-written adjunct to CloudStack.

The result of the above commands would be a CloudStack management server,
and a CloudStack instance running on the same machine as CloudStack
management server.

No need to read the docs :)

This would probably involve some combination of marvin config and some
intelligent guesses about the environment.

I am in the same position and I suspect that others are as well.
Who would be interested in participating in a virtual meeting to walk
through the installation together to find out where the instructions are
wrong?

It seems to be a known problem that if you follow the instructions
exactly as they are written, you end up with a non-functional system.
This seems to be partly caused by an installation procedure that is
supposed to be all things to all people and tries to support too many
configuration options.

I would like to see if I could get a simple, single cpu up and running
with CentOS 6.4 (could live with 6.3 but wonder why not the latest), one
network card sitting in a 192.168.n.x network that can be reached by
anyone on the same 192.168.n.x network.
Creating 1 guest Centos 6.4 VM on that machine would at least let me
know that CloudStack works.

Reaching a port open on the Guest VM from a front-end would be my
ultimate goal. I just want to have a publicly accessible Apache HTTP
server on another server attached to Tomcat running on the guest VM. If
I can get this working the rest of the universe of CloudStack nirvana
should be achievable.

Adding additional machines should be possible from that point.
Adding network cards and storage devices should also be possible.

Anyone interested?

Ron

Hello,
I have been trying to get cloudstack installed for several weeks now
but
keep running into issues.I was wondering if someone was available to
talk
about some things and high level and possibly take a look at my
configs /

Thanks
