I'm doing it manually, over and over and over and .., yeah, you get
the point :), again.

Every time I get one step closer. And doing this via a PXE boot, using
a preseed file, which then calls another script once the machine is
installed, and using a preseed file for debconf gives me the possibility
to reproduce my results. Every time I get closer to a working system.

I got "almost" there yesterday, when I could create an instance. It
wouldn't boot because there was some problem with Cinder creation
of volumes or some such..

That would be Sid then I assume. At least I'm getting Mitaka after
upgrading to Sid and then installing Openstack.


I have chosen to install all the control software on ONE (which will
then be mirrored onto another, just because I want to learn how to
run in a multi-controller setup) physical host. Then have all my other
hardware as Compute nodes.

If this is a good idea or not, I'm leaving to others to decide/comment
on, but it is good enough for me - I don't really need redundancy. I
have only one uplink, one network, one power socket in the wall..


If you want to look at what I've been up to so far (do not that it's not
even close to actually work!), have a look at

Remember, this is basically just a dumping ground for my thoughts and
ideas on this, so no patches, no comments, no bug reports. It leaves
a lot to do "between the lines" but it might at least give you some
ideas for your own setup.
