# MicroStack
[![Snap Status][snap-build-badge]][snap-build-status]
MicroStack is a single-machine, snap-deployed OpenStack cloud.
Common purposes include:
* Development and testing of OpenStack workloads
* Continuous integration (CI)
* IoT and appliances
* Edge clouds (experimental)
* Introducing new users to OpenStack
Currently provided OpenStack services are: Nova, Keystone, Glance, Horizon, and
Neutron.
MicroStack is frequently updated to provide the latest stable updates of the
most recent OpenStack release.
> **Requirements**:
You will need at least 2 CPUs, 8 GiB of memory, and 100 GiB of disk space.
See the full [MicroStack documentation][microstack-docs].
## Installation
At this time you can install from the `--beta` or `--edge` snap channels:
sudo snap install microstack --classic --beta
The edge channel is moving toward a strictly confined snap. At this time, it
must be installed in devmode:
sudo snap install microstack --devmode --edge
## Initialisation
Initialisation will set up databases, networks, flavors, an SSH keypair, a
CirrOS image, and open ICMP/SSH security groups:
sudo microstack.init --auto
## OpenStack client
The OpenStack client is bundled as `microstack.openstack`. For example:
microstack.openstack network list
microstack.openstack flavor list
microstack.openstack keypair list
microstack.openstack image list
microstack.openstack security group rule list
## Creating an instance
To create an instance (called "awesome") based on the CirrOS image:
microstack.launch cirros --name awesome
## SSH to an instance
The launch output will show you how to connect to the instance. For the CirrOS
image, the user account is 'cirros'.
ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_microstack cirros@<ip-address>
## Horizon
The launch output will also provide information for the Horizon dashboard. The
username is 'admin' and the password can be obtained in this way:
sudo snap get microstack config.credentials.keystone-password
## Removing MicroStack
To remove MicroStack, run:
sudo microstack.remove --auto
This will clean up the Open vSwitch bridge device and uninstall
MicroStack. If you remove MicroStack with the `snap remove` command
instead, don't worry -- the Open vSwitch bridge will disappear the
next time that you reboot your system.
Note that you can pass any arguments that you'd pass to the `snap
remove` command to `microstack.remove`. To purge the snap,
for example, run:
sudo microstack.remove --auto --purge
## LMA stack
Filebeat, Telegraf and NRPE are bundled as the snap systemd services.
## Customising and contributing
To customise services and settings, look in the `.d` directories under
`/var/snap/microstack/common/etc`. You can add services with your package
manager, or take a look at `CONTRIBUTING.md` and make a code based argument for
adding a service to the default list.
## Reporting a bug
Please report bugs to the [MicroStack][microstack] project on Launchpad.
