Install OpenStack with DevStack Installer so you can SSH to Virtual Machines

OK so you can install DevStack. But can you connect to the VMS?. Often what people want is a simple DevStack install hat allows them access to their VM instances. This is not a ridiculous request and in this video we show you how. We install DevStack into a VirtualBox VM and show how yo create an answer file that will allow you to have NAT set up from your Public NIC on DevStack to your VM instances. This way you can connect to the instances using SSH from your DevStack host

Not sure if you remember me, but I got the job! Thanks so much for the work you put in!

Good video. Would you be able to do another video covering how to make the vms in one stack accessible via other computers on the local network. It would be good to allow a standard router to assign IP addresses to vms.

Thanks. Please consider this request for an updated version, allowing access from "another machine on the same LAN".

This is probably the #1 thing devstack users want to do, although I understand why it is not enabled by default.

Excellent Video! It was all I want from the beginning. Thank you so much!

Excellent video. This helps me a lot to setup and OpenStack. Thanks !

Hi..thanks for the tutorial... floating ip must use private ip addresses? Or it can use public ip (internet ip)? Or use lan ip as floating ip? In openstack u refer public ip as floating ip? My understanding public ip is a internet ip. Please advise. Thank you.

Did you need to add any route to reach the instances from the host?

Hello Sir Can you explain how did you make your hash for swift ?

[voriaz]

Very good work !!
Thanks for this video.
I have a question, I tried to replace the host only network on VBox by a bridged network. the install run succefully, but after that I'm unable to ping/ssh my VM from another machine on this network. Have you an idea, a specific local.conf param or some extras commands to configure Devstack for this?

[vashonn]

Awesome Video, can you list out the commands for this deployment or place I can go view them? Thank again Sir for awesome video

[MrLczz]

Awesome video!!! Thank you very much for this, you helped us a lot!

Hi everyone, i get an error while installing openstack "Cannot install cinder because these package versions have conflicting dependencies.

The conflict is caused by:
oslo-vmware 3.9.1 depends on suds-jurko>=0.6
The user requested (constraint) suds-jurko===0.6
"
had anybody ever experience with this error?

I thought there is a way to directly ssh to the instance in your internal address 10.x.x.x but you still need to assign floating ip to the instance in order to ssh to the instance, the design of the OpenStack is really weird to be honest the router created in OpenStack is only for the instance to grab something from the external network but not from the external network access to the instance, I need a destination nat (floating ip) to do the ssh and if I do the floating ip I cannot limit the connection with security group.... I might as well use paid version of the VMware esxi for doing my own private cloud and using terraform to orchestrate it, all in all I think OpenStack is a crap software.

I followed this tutorial and many others. This time, i ended up with floating ip 192.168.8.231 (which is IP placed in my actual LAN since i'm installing devstack on bare metal machine), and this stuff just doesn't want to work .... Ping, doesn't work, ssh doesn't work... I can't connect from host or from my LAN. Security groups rules are there... I tried various devstack versions (atm. its pike) under ubuntu 16.04 with no luck. Any hints?
