OpenNebula is an open-source cloud computing tool that can help you manage a cloud infrastructure with ease. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install OpenNebula on nixOS Latest.
Before starting the installation process, ensure you have the following requirements:
To begin with, let's update our system by executing the following commands:
sudo nix-channel --update
sudo nixos-rebuild switch
This will ensure that we have the latest updates installed on our system.
Now let's proceed and install OpenNebula by running the following commands:
sudo nix-env -i opennebula
This will download and install the OpenNebula package on your system.
Once OpenNebula is installed, we need to configure it to run correctly. We will need to edit the /etc/one/oned.conf file to make sure OpenNebula is configured correctly.
sudo nano /etc/one/oned.conf
In this configuration file, you can set various parameters, such as listening IPs, database configuration, and log file locations. The parameters you need to change depend on your use case.
After the configuration, we can now start OpenNebula by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start opennebula
And if you want to ensure that OpenNebula starts automatically upon system boot, you can enable it to start at boot time with the command:
sudo systemctl enable opennebula
Congratulations! You now have OpenNebula installed and running on nixOS. You can now proceed and use OpenNebula to manage your cloud infrastructure.
