OpenStack is an open source cloud computing software platform that allows you to create and manage a private or public cloud infrastructure. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing OpenStack on NixOS Latest.
Before you start, make sure you have the following:
First, we need to install the OpenStack packages. To do this, edit the /etc/nixos/configuration.nix file:
sudo nano /etc/nixos/configuration.nix
Add the following lines to this file:
services.openstack = {
enable = true;
identity = {
enable = true;
ha.enable = false;
ha.api_vip = "";
ha.api_port = 5000;
ha.bind_to = "";
ha.region = "RegionOne";
ha.identity_url = "";
host = "localhost";
apache.enable = true;
apache.hostName = "openstack.example.com";
};
};
After adding the above lines, save and exit the file. Then run the following command to activate the changes:
sudo nixos-rebuild switch
This command will install the OpenStack packages and configure them according to the configuration.nix file.
Once the installation is completed, you can verify it by running the following commands:
openstack --version
This will show the version of the OpenStack installed.
systemctl status openstack-nova-api
This will show the status of the Nova API service.
If both the commands run without any errors, then congratulations! You have successfully installed OpenStack on NixOS Latest.
OpenStack is a powerful tool for managing cloud infrastructure, and NixOS is a great platform for hosting large and complex systems. By following this tutorial, you should now have a working installation of OpenStack on NixOS Latest.
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!
