Something I have used in the past is a local.conf like this:

[[local|localrc]]
ADMIN_PASSWORD=secret
DATABASE_PASSWORD=$ADMIN_PASSWORD
RABBIT_PASSWORD=$ADMIN_PASSWORD
SERVICE_PASSWORD=$ADMIN_PASSWORD

IMAGE_URL_SITE="https://download.fedoraproject.org"
IMAGE_URL_PATH="/pub/fedora/linux/releases/33/Cloud/x86_64/images/"
IMAGE_URL_FILE="Fedora-Cloud-Base-33-1.2.x86_64.qcow2"
IMAGE_URLS+=","$IMAGE_URL_SITE$IMAGE_URL_PATH$IMAGE_URL_FILE

CEILOMETER_BACKEND=gnocchi
USE_PYTHON3="True"

VERBOSE="True"

VERBOSE_NO_TIMESTAMP="True"

#
LIBS_FROM_GIT=aodh,ceilometer,cinder,devstack,devstack-gate,dib-utils,diskimage-builder,glance,heat,keystone,neutron,nova,placement,requirements,swift

enable_plugin aodh https://opendev.org/openstack/aodh
enable_plugin ceilometer https://opendev.org/openstack/ceilometer
enable_plugin heat https://opendev.org/openstack/heat


INSTALL_TEMPEST=False


Hope that helps. The IMAGE_URL_FILE needs probably adjustment, fedora 33
is not supported anymore.
