OpenNebula is a cloud computing management platform for managing virtualized data centers and enterprise clouds. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of installing OpenNebula on Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before we start with the OpenNebula installation, make sure that you have the following requirements:
The first step is always to update and upgrade the Ubuntu server to ensure that you have the latest packages and security updates. Run the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
To install OpenNebula, you need to add the OpenNebula repository to your Ubuntu system. We will use the wget command to download the repository key and add it to your system as follows:
wget -q -O- https://downloads.opennebula.org/repo/repo.key | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://downloads.opennebula.org/repo/5.12/Ubuntu/$(lsb_release -rs)/ stable opennebula" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/opennebula.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install opennebula
The above command will install OpenNebula, and you will be prompted to provide information about the configuration. Choose the configure database manually option and press Enter.
Next, you need to configure the OpenNebula database. For this, we will use the onedb tool, which is the OpenNebula database upgrade utility. Run the following commands:
sudo apt-get install opennebula-sunstone opennebula-gate opennebula-flow opennebula-provision -y
sudo -u oneadmin /usr/lib/one/mads/create.sh
sudo -u oneadmin /usr/share/one/install_gems --yes
sudo -u oneadmin /usr/share/one/mkconf.rb
sudo -u oneadmin /usr/bin/one start
Now, it's time to set up the OpenNebula web interface. You can access the web interface via your browser by entering the IP address of your server followed by the port number 9869 (i.e., http://server_IP:9869/).
To log in to the OpenNebula web interface, use the following credentials:

In this tutorial, you learned how to install OpenNebula on an Ubuntu server. As a cloud computing management platform, OpenNebula makes it easy for you to manage your virtual machines and data centers effectively.
That's all about it!
