In this video you will learn how to Install OpenStack in five simple steps.

Looking for an easy OpenStack installation tutorial for beginners?
Break the ice with OpenStack today by watching this video.

You will only need one physical or virtual machine with:
1) The latest Ubuntu LTS installed,
2) Static IP address assigned to its primary network interface,
3) OpenSSH server installed and configured,
4) 4+ core amd64 CPU,
5) 16 GB of RAM,

Get OpenStack up and running in under an hour by running five simple commands:

$ sudo snap install openstack
$ sunbeam prepare-node-script | bash -x && newgrp snap_daemon
$ sunbeam cluster bootstrap --accept-defaults
$ sunbeam configure --accept-defaults --openrc demo-openrc
$ sunbeam launch ubuntu -n test

This is really helpful, as the previous requirements to run a local test environment for openstack were cumbersome.

Love this hands down but your installation information on the site is missing multiple steps you talk about in the video.

Hello, I miss here a bit more "introduction" about prerequisites - for example not to be root user when installing openstack - what other conditions are required - we can see a lot of folks issues with setting networking side of thins and encountering there a lot of issues. Also what to do in case something goes "south"....

Hi guys, any tip would be appreciated to fix this: ERROR: No external connectivity. Set HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, NO_PROXY

in /etc/environment and re-run this command.

+ exit 1

Is it possible to do the same thing in a M1 machine, because there I cannot use amd64 but arm. I wonder if there are any differences

Hey Canonical, how about turning off the auto-response and pinning the link to the community page and then having an actual human read the comments?

I encounter the error, although my vm fully meets these requirements

WARNING: Minimum system requirements (4 core CPU, 16 GB RAM) not met.
Error: Host FQDN and Hypervisor hostname perceived by libvirt are different, check `hostname -f` and `/etc/hosts` file

After running the "sunbeam cluster bootstrap --accept-defaults" command, it prompts for the CIDR. Upon providing the CIDR, the Juju Bootstrapping process should start. However, if the installation does not proceed as expected...it will be helpful if you guide us

Great video, how to deploy it using cluster or multiple nodes?

Cannot get this to work while using fresh install of ubuntu 22.04 LTS:
Timed out while waiting for model 'openstack' to be ready

[markbrierley]

This is more like "2 easy steps" my install always fails at around 5/23 after running "sunbeam prepare-node-script | bash -x && newgrp snap_daemon". I get the impression this video was released by the marketing department rather that the techies. I've tried the forums but they aren't much help. A more detailed walk-through would help a lot. That way we can see where the script is failing.

O grande problema disso tudo é que não tem uma ferramenta de backup decente como o veeam para integrar na ferramenta. Tá difícil sair do vmware assim

[andrewreeves]

great video, unfortunatly the test instance does not work currently due to a bug which Ubuntu fourms are aware of
$ sunbeam launch ubuntu -n test
Launching an OpenStack instance ...
Found sunbeam key in OpenStack!
⠦ Creating the OpenStack instance ... Instance creation request failed: transitioned to failure state ERROR
Error: Unable to request new instance. Please run `sunbeam configure` first.

the issue seems to be with glance

Possible After instalation change ip horizon dashboad ?

[Quran-ki-Naseehatan]

during the stage of
sunbeam cluster bootstrap --accept-defaults

i got this error message kindly help me to solve this.

Error: Host FQDN and Hypervisor hostname prerecived by libvert is different, check 'hostname -f' and '/etc/hosts' file

but in my case both are same.

[nguyenvannam]

Can i launch instance with this openstack version ?

[earlmitchell]

Which companies are using OpenStack? Seems like everybody using AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud with Oracle also now targeting cloud computing business.

[dakkanTM]

Doesn't work, plagued with errors and incompatibilities. Has internal version clashes. A bad show all round.

Snap: command not found. Okey, installed the Snapd. Then: sunbeam command not found... Omg...
