tl;dr I want to move devcloud4 into some community location, where should I put it?
If you need to host the readymade DevCloud4 disk images, I can help host it on packages.shapeblue.com which can be also mirrored by Lucian.
Hi all, As previously discussed on the list awhile back I'm wanting to move the devcloud4[1] stuff into more of a primary view and out of a public repository that is just hosted on my personal github account. I have questions around this.... 1) For those who have tried devcloud4 did it work, were you happy with the experience? Do you feel the dependencies on vagrant, chef, virtualbox, berkshelf, etc. introduce a whole new learning curve that is too complex? 2) Assuming 1) gets positive responses, what would the most appropriate way to bring in devcloud4? I was thinking of using /tools, however when I began to explore /tools I found myself in a place of mystery and wonder.... Originally I was thinking it may be acceptable to just replace /tools/devcloud, however I've come to the conclusion this is a bad idea given the great marvin configurations that are there and the pom for deploying the devcloud db. Then I began exploring..... /tools/devcloud - The original devcloud as documented on rohits blog.... http://bhaisaab.org/logs/devcloud/ (I think???)
I would say let's get rid of a lot of archaic /tools stuff, remove the /tools/devcloud and replace with devcloud4. Do it boldly!
/tools/appliance/definitions/devcloud - Not a clue what this is? Appears to be some veewee definitions that build up a single box of mysql, nfs, management server and xen? Is this used by anyone? /tools/vagrant/devcloud - This was cool, it was recently added it is like the devcloud4 basic setup except it doesn't use chef for mysql and nfs configuration. Instead it uses a bash script, loved the simplicity of this.
We need a lot of cleanup in tools/vagrant and in /tools in general as Sebastien commented.
/tools/devcloud-kvm - This appears just to be marvin configuration files and a sql file.... I think it might be neat if we were to update this with something like Rohit's peppercorn (assuming my understanding of them is correct they are attempting to achieve the same goal). I know there's another duplicate effort of a KVM development environment by Marcus: http://marcus.mlsorensen.com/cloudstack-extras/
My Ansible based peppercorn is not really general purpose and assumes someone has already setup a Debian/Ubuntu VM/host with a running SSH server.
Slightly off topic but.... I think it would be a good idea if we began to maintain some sort of a "resources" list (more recommended resources over official resources) for Cloudstack. There's lots of really cool things out there (chef cookbook, ansible cookbook, cloudmonkey, marvin, prebuilt templates by openvm.eu, cloudstack perl client and probably many more....) that folks really wouldn't discover unless they went searching.
We can put a page on wiki or on website. Put links to books (like Sebastien's), blogs, articles etc. Regards, Rohit Yadav Software Architect, ShapeBlue M. +91 8826230892 | rohit.ya...@shapeblue.com Blog: bhaisaab.org | Twitter: @_bhaisaab PS.
