DevStack

DevStack - a Rackspace Cloudbuilders Production

A documented shell script to build complete OpenStack development environments.

from Rackspace Cloud Builders.

  1. Setup a fresh Ubuntu Oneiric (11.10), Precise (12.04) or Fedora 16 installation.
  2. Clone devstack from devstack. 
    git clone https://github.com/openstack-dev/devstack.git
  3. Deploy your OpenStack Cloud 
    cd devstack && ./stack.sh
 

Quick Start This ain't your first rodeo

  1. Install Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric), 12.04 (Precise) or Fedora 16

    In order to correctly install all the dependencies, we assume a specific version of Ubuntu or Fedora to make it as easy as possible. OpenStack works on other flavors of Linux (and some folks even run it on Windows!) We recommend using a minimal install of Ubuntu server or in a VM if this is your first time.

  2. Download DevStack

    git clone git://github.com/openstack-dev/devstack.git

    The devstack repo contains a script that installs openstack and templates for configuration files

  3. Start the install

    cd devstack; ./stack.sh

    It takes a few minutes, we recommend reading the script while it is building.

Guides Walk through various setups used by stackers

Virtual Machine Run 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. Read »
LXC Containers Already running Ubuntu on your machine? Using containers lets you build even faster. Coming soon!
