Hello Graeme,
There is not way to do what you ask for. You should register the images in
the image repository so that users can select them from the list. With
OpenNebula 3.2 you can easily register and share images with different
users in the same group [1] or using ACLs [2] for more complex scenarios.
Letting end users specify server paths may pose a security risk as well...
Hope it helps,
Hector

Hi,
I'm currently evaluating using the opennebula 3.2 self service portal
to allow end users to create/start/run their own vms, but I noticed
that at the moment the only way for a new user to create a new virtual
disk image is to upload their own image via their browser.
Currently on the command line we can get them to create a new virtual
disk using a disk image template similar to something like
NAME = "gg-devel"
PATH = /var/lib/one/importimages/centos6blank.img
PUBLIC = NO
DESCRIPTION = "ggillies centos 6 devel vm"
PERSISTENT = YES
Where /var/lib/one/importimages contains a bunch of different image
files we have created for people to import/use.
Is there a possibility that the self service portal could be altered
so that either we could provide users the option of a filled in
dropdown box of disk images from a defined directory to use, and also
have the possibility to disable uploading disk images by the browser
altogether (perhaps by turning off a plugin the yaml?). Perhaps even
just an option to enter in a local path to use as the PATH element for
the disk image might be sufficient if a populated drop down can't be
made.
I'm curious what other people think, or have done something similar.
Regards,
Graeme
