Current status of devcloud
Hello.
As described in another thread here, it's some (several) days I'm
working hard trying to get a running devcloud installation on Ubuntu.
Without success.
I followed these wikis/howtos:
- https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/devcloud-kvm
- https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/DevCloud
- https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/tree/master/tools/devcloud4
and tried different tags version: 4.5.1, 4.3, master (debian-based
packages).
The result was always the same: slow and painful advancement along the
process, until the point where the next step didn't work and no clue how
to proceed further.
About the more promising setup (devcloud-kvm), I had to do lots of
extra-steps not documented in the howto. I would be glad to contribute
these details to the official wiki page, but I'm not sure if it's
useful, since the whole process is not working for me.
So I'm asking to the experts here: is devcloud a supported/mantained
component (and as such it's worth updating the documentation, cleaning
up obsolete pages/packages and making sure the official package is
working) or is it entirely unsupported/obsolete (at least on
debian-based systems)?
Thanks for any replay.
Fabio

Thank you for the reassuring words.

I've already posted here the issues that are blocking me (in thread
"devcloud-kvm doesn't work (tag 4.5.1)"). Summarizing them, I'm stuck on
the storage system VM not working: it starts but hasn't any service
active. Running the check script, I get this:
================================================

I thought I had to update the system VM template, so issued this command:
/usr/share/cloudstack-common/scripts/storage/secondary/cloud-install-sys-tmplt
-m /nfs/secondary -u
http://cloudstack.apt-get.eu/systemvm/4.5/systemvm64template-4.5-kvm.qcow2.bz2
-h kvm -F
but nothing changed. The system vm is running an old template
(CloudStack version is 4.3).
Any help or hint about what to do or investigate is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Fabio

Sorry to hear you are having challenges here.
It is definitely used and maintained by several folks in community.
Perhaps you can share the issues you've been having.. also, devcloud or
not, its just a VM with KVM and CloudStack build env. Its rather simple
to stand up your own flavor of devcloud.
