March 26 Ephemeral, Bare Metal Meddle!

Not_Oles · March 2023

Edited on March 20, 2023: Was "April 1 Ephemeral, Bare Metal Meddle!" Oopsie! Sorry, I think I got the cancellation date wrong.

This server, details below, currently is set to cancel on April 1 March 26. Meanwhile, free shell accounts, maybe with sudo, might be available for friendly LESbians!

If anyone wants an account, please post your request here in this thread together with your ed25519 ssh public key. Thanks and best wishes!

Thanks for helping!

DM might not be needed to send a public key.

But, if you want an account, and you prefer to send your public key via DM, that's fine!

Hope you have a wonderful day!

By the way, I had some fun last night installing All-in-One OpenStack on this machine. The linked instructions made the configuration seem easy. And the install seemed to go okay too!

This is my first time with OpenStack, so I'm not even sure what should be happening! Here are a few notes I took about what I did:

Hi again @let2les!

I took a quick look at some Android build environment setup instructions which seemed to suggest building on Ubuntu.

MetalVPS currently happens to have another machine which is running Ubuntu, so I also made you an account on that machine.

The Ubuntu machine new2 is set to cancel on April 1. Meanwhile, you're more than welcome to use both the Rawhide and the Ubuntu machines, or, if you only need one, let me know and I will clean up the machine you are not using.

Best wishes! Have fun!

@Not_Oles said: By the way, I had some fun last night installing All-in-One OpenStack on this machine. The linked instructions made the configuration seem easy. And the install seemed to go okay too!

@Not_Oles Could you install necessary dependencies as described on https://divestos.org/pages/build ? A VM would work too, just need 64GB RAM and ~ 500GB disk.

Hi @let2les!

I ran as root the install commands from https://divestos.org/pages/build except for the following three which I think might be intended for you to run inside your home directory.

mkdir ~/bin
curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo >> ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo

I saved a 1562 line transcript of all the commands I ran plus all the output printed to the terminal. So, if you find any issues, we certainly can check.

Good luck with your DivestOS project! Have fun! Best wishes!

Managed to get Openstack's single node devstack working enough to show its login screen to my Chromebook. Login works too. So next up is to figure out whether I can and if so how to make an instance, and also to try additional features. Hope you guys all had fun weekends too! Friendly greetings!

I recall i read something about it but was discourage because of some HW requirements etc ... It surly needs some good infra to work well.
would be nice to learn from you how it goes.

@ehab said: would be nice to learn from you how it goes.

We will see how far I get.

In other news, it seems I was wrong on the cancellation date for this server! It now appears that the last day of use for this server might be March 26, 2023. Apologies for the inconvenience! So sorry!

@ehab since you asked. . . .

DevStack seems to have made an instance.

[stack@rawhide .ssh]$ sudo ps aux | grep one # Instance name is "one;" grep caught the "none." Haha!

Seems I can log in to the instance via OpenStack's built-in console. Maybe getting inside the instance will enable fixing the ssh connectivity.

Not_Oles · March 2023

Hi @ehab!

@ehab said: is it easy or there is a large learning curve?

If a clueless™ guy can get as far as I am getting, then the correct classification must be "easy!"

All I did was follow the OpenStack All-in-One Single Machine install instructions.

TLDR: On a clean server, VPS, or laptop, we create the stack user, with sudo privileges and a home directory in /opt/stack. User stack clones the devstack repository, configures a few lines in local.conf, and runs a bash script called stack.sh. That's it. Hint: check that permissions on /opt/stack and /opt/stack/devstack are 755 so that the programs called by the script have access.

I ran stack.sh on Rawhide, but the instructions and the script cover Debian derived distributions as well as Red Hat derived distributions. Hint: on Rawhide and other unsupported Linux distribution versions, maybe try running FORCE=yes ./stack.sh. When stack.sh finishes, it prints the information needed to access the dashboard. Hint: I needed to add an iptables ALLOW rule to access the dashboard from the IP used by my Chromebook here in Mexico.

Additional post-install tests are easily available via another included script called run-tests.sh. Take down and clean up scripts, unstack.sh and clean.sh, also are included. In fact, as my 21,434 line stack.sh install transcript shows, quite a lot gets installed. Here's what the installed devstack looks like from the server's command line.

As can be seen from the LICENSE file, devstack is released under the free for private and commercial use, open source Apache License, Version 2.0.

The OpenStack team seems legitimately trying to publish up-to-date, clear, and accessible documentation. Also, the stack.sh script contains friendly comments. Overall, OpenStack and the OpenStack team seem to project themselves and their project as very friendly, very well organized, and very fun!

Best wishes!
