Simple Script-Based CloudStack Installer

[yadvr]

Test and explore https://github.com/rohityadavcloud/c8k.in, add/report issues & send pull requests.

The ultimate goal is to allow (in future) anybody wanting to try CloudStack by simply doing:

curl -sL https://c8k.in/stall.sh | bash

Update: moved here https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-installer

Add support for VLAN and bonding. Currently, the script removes the existing VLAN and bonding configuration from the 01-netcfg.yaml file. Thanks.

I would like to suuggest the script get rid of mysql and go with Mariadb and use the "mariadb-secure-installation" script for for locking down. Mariadb was born in 2009 as a fork of mysql. I'm not a developer, but have some scripting knowledge I've picked up in the last couple of decades working in IT. One thing I'm aware of is that MariaDB is a lot faster than mysql, uses less resources...etc.

Secondly, will the script work with Ubuntu 25.10.x. UltimetEly, I would like to see the cloudstack script install on Ubuntu 25.x using MariaDB with "mariadb-secure-installation" script

Reasons why to use MariaDB; see links below;

don't hardcode ens0 interface name :)

@rohityadavcloud I am currently testing it on WSL Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS

[patrix]

Testing on Ubuntu 24.04

[NuxRo]

gateway=$(ip route show 0.0.0.0/0 dev ens3 | cut -d\ -f3)
replace ens3 with $interface

[patrix]

or...
gateway=$(ip route show | grep "default via" | cut -d' ' -f3)

[m-dhellin]

I have some struggle with the gateway. I will try your suggestions, thanks.

generate_password() {
    openssl </dev/null >/dev/null 2>/dev/null
    if [ $? -eq 0 ]
    then
        passwd=`openssl rand -base64 40 | tr -d '/' | cut -c1-32  `
    fi
    if [ -z "$passwd" ]
    then
        passwd=`dd if=/dev/urandom bs=32 count=1 2>/dev/null | od -x | head -n 1 | tr -d ' ' | cut -c8-40`
    fi
    if [ -z "$passwd" ]
    then
        passwd="password"
    fi
    echo "$passwd"
}
PASSWD=$(generate_password) # Random password with 32 characters

may support more OSes , for example RHEL 8/9 and variants ?

[m-dhellin]

On WSL, added this line just after the creation of /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml to fix a permission issue :
chmod go-rwx /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml

[m-dhellin]

The installer keeps breaking the Internet connection of WSL, I’m still trying to figure out why.

[bvitnik]

I have made a modest pull request that improves some network handling (including hardcoded ens3) and some mysql handling. This was (unfortunately) tested on VMware hosted VM with nested virtualization :)

[yadvr]

Thanks very much @bvitnik merged your PR yadvr/c8k.in#1 !
