DevStack ======== .. image:: assets/images/logo-blue.png DevStack is a series of extensible scripts used to quickly bring up a complete OpenStack environment. It is used interactively as a development environment and as the basis for much of the OpenStack project's functional testing. The source is available at ``__. .. toctree:: :glob: :maxdepth: 1 overview configuration plugins plugin-registry faq hacking Quick Start ----------- #. Select a Linux Distribution Only Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty), Fedora 22 (or Fedora 23) and CentOS/RHEL 7 are documented here. OpenStack also runs and is packaged on other flavors of Linux such as OpenSUSE and Debian. #. Install Selected OS In order to correctly install all the dependencies, we assume a specific minimal version of the supported distributions to make it as easy as possible. We recommend using a minimal install of Ubuntu or Fedora server in a VM if this is your first time. #. Download DevStack :: git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack-dev/devstack The ``devstack`` repo contains a script that installs OpenStack and templates for configuration files #. Configure We recommend at least a :ref:`minimal-configuration` be set up. #. Add Stack User Devstack should be run as a non-root user with sudo enabled (standard logins to cloud images such as "ubuntu" or "cloud-user" are usually fine). You can quickly create a separate `stack` user to run DevStack with :: devstack/tools/create-stack-user.sh; su stack #. Start the install, this will take a few minutes. :: cd devstack; ./stack.sh Guides ====== Walk through various setups used by stackers .. toctree:: :glob: :maxdepth: 1 guides/single-vm guides/single-machine guides/lxc guides/multinode-lab guides/neutron guides/devstack-with-nested-kvm guides/nova guides/devstack-with-lbaas-v2 All-In-One Single VM -------------------- Run :doc:`OpenStack in a VM `. The VMs launched in your cloud will be slow as they are running in QEMU (emulation), but it is useful if you don't have spare hardware laying around. :doc:`[Read] ` All-In-One Single Machine ------------------------- Run :doc:`OpenStack on dedicated hardware ` This can include a server-class machine or a laptop at home. :doc:`[Read] ` All-In-One LXC Container ------------------------- Run :doc:`OpenStack in a LXC container `.
