Linux ImageΒΆ

At the moment the best way to build a Linux image with Murano agent is to use disk image builder.

Note

Disk image builder requires sudo rights

The process is quite simple. Let’s assume that you use a directory ~/git for cloning git repositories:

$ export GITDIR=~/git
$ mkdir -p $GITDIR

Clone the components required to build an image to that directory:

$ cd $GITDIR
$ git clone git://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/murano
$ git clone git://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/murano-agent
$ git clone git://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/diskimage-builder

Checkout a change request that allows to build an image using disk image builder completely installed to virtual environment:

$ cd $GITDIR/diskimage-builder
$ git fetch https://review.openstack.org/openstack/diskimage-builder refs/changes/02/168002/2 && git checkout FETCH_HEAD

Install additional packages required by disk image builder:

$ sudo apt-get install qemu-utils curl python-tox

Export paths where additional dib elements are located:

$ export ELEMENTS_PATH=$GITDIR/murano/contrib/elements:$GITDIR/murano-agent/contrib/elements

And build Ubuntu-based image with Murano agent:

$ cd $GITDIR/diskimage-builder
$ tox -e venv -- disk-image-create vm ubuntu murano-agent -o ../murano-agent.qcow2

If you need Fedora based image replace ‘ubuntu’ to ‘fedora’ in the last command.

It’ll take a while (up to 30 minutes if your hard drive and internet connection are slow).

When done upload murano-agent.qcow2 image to Glance and play :)
