MicroStack
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.
Installation
At this time you can install from the --beta or --edge snap channels:
sudo snap install microstack --classic --beta
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. Its credentials are:
username: admin
password: keystone
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 project on Launchpad.
