OpenStack is a free and open-source cloud computing platform that is widely used by businesses and organizations worldwide. It allows users to manage large pools of computing, storage, and networking resources through a user-friendly web interface. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of OpenStack on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure you have:
The first step is to update the system to make sure all packages are up to date.
sudo zypper refresh
sudo zypper update
To install OpenStack, run the following command:
sudo zypper install openstack-deployment
Next, you will need to configure OpenStack. To do that, run the following command:
sudo cp /usr/share/openstack-deployment/examples/openstack.env.example ~/openstack.env
sudo vi ~/openstack.env
This will create a configuration file and open it in the vi editor. Edit the file and make sure to replace the placeholders with your desired values.
export OPENSTACK_RELEASE=ussuri
export PROVISION_INTERFACE=enp0s3
export CONTROL_HOSTS=192.168.0.10
export COMPUTE_HOSTS=192.168.0.11
export NETWORK_HOSTS=192.168.0.12
export INFRA_HOSTS=192.168.0.13
export DNS_FORWARDING_SERVER=192.168.0.1
export TLD=example.com
export OPENSTACK_BRIDGE_MAPPINGS=public:br-ex
export OPENSTACK_NETWORK_TYPE=vxlan
export OPENSTACK_PUBLIC_NETWORK_CIDR=192.168.100.0/24
export OPENSTACK_PUBLIC_NETWORK_GATEWAY=192.168.100.1
export OPENSTACK_PUBLIC_NETWORK_ALLOC_POOL=start=192.168.100.10,end=192.168.100.250
Save and close the file.
To deploy OpenStack, run the following command:
sudo openstack-deploy
This will start the deployment process, and it may take some time depending on your system's specifications.
Once the deployment is complete, you can access OpenStack by opening a web browser and entering the following URL:
http://<CONTROL_HOSTS_IP_ADDRESS>/horizon
Replace <CONTROL_HOSTS_IP_ADDRESS> with the IP address of the control node, which you have specified in the configuration file.
Enter the username and password that you have specified during the deployment process, and you will be logged in to the OpenStack dashboard.
In this tutorial, we have covered the installation process of OpenStack on OpenSUSE Latest. Now you can manage your cloud computing, storage and networking resources with ease. If you face any issues, refer to the official OpenStack documentation or seek help from the OpenStack community.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
