Thanks all, as no objections were raised I’ll proceed by creating a new sub-project repository.
Once the initial installation script is pushed, everyone is welcome to submit PRs and suggest changes through Github issues. As proposed in my original email, the main objectives of this initiative is to allow new users test ACS in a quicker way and simplify or assist with the quick install guide documentation. The script may not be suitable for large and/or production environments and doesn't aim to support all deployments (such as supports all storage, hypervisors options etc). In terms of security and adoption, several successful and widely used opensource projects do offer script-based url installers as standard or alternative installation such as nixos, homebrew, k3s, pivpn etc. This doesn't propose to invent anything new or replace our repo-based install/upgrade, but offer our users an alternative installation option that they're already familiar with.

Should be "support" this kind of insecure practice? 2. For testing, it would be fine. But the scope of use should be made clear (only for testing, all in one, not for production). 3. IMHO no serious cloudstack evaluation can be achieved with such a simplified installer, I see the benefit as rather low. Yours René
