All, Following the CCC2024 hackathon idea of CloudStack script-based installer [1], I want to propose a new repository to host this as a sub-project under the ASF/CloudStack PMC. The script-based installer will make it easier for anybody to try CloudStack on one of the supported Linux distros (such as EL8, or Ubuntu), handle common installation/setup configurations (such as all-in-a-box) and longer term allow users to do quick installations instead of following the lengthy quick-start guide [2] manually.
I propose to create a new git/Github repository to track this initiative under https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-installer and to work with others without enforcing community merge guidelines (2lgtms+tests) until this is fully developed and tested. It may also not need official/voted releases, and be simply served to users from the Github repository directly using one of the domains [3] under the PMC control. Thoughts, objections? [1] https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/discussions/9953 [2] https://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/latest/quickinstallationguide/qig.html [3] Domains under PMC/ASF control - cloudstack.org, cloudstack.cloud, c8k.in, cloudstack.apache.org Regards.
