I am currently running my dev/test setup on two machines: 1) runs the management + KVM agent and 2) the other runs the LXC agent. The following sections detail how to get the development code running so that you can spin up LXC containers with Cloudstack. It's not very elegant, but is the easiest way I've found to quickly get the system up with development code. There's probably an easier way to do this.

1. Install

...

Cloudstack 4.0

• Install the management server on machine 1
  • Skip loading the database
  • Do not import the System Template (at least not yet)

...

In this step we bring up the system with a KVM hypervisor. After the Secondary Storage VM starts up, we will swap out the cloud jars with the ones we've built.

• From the CS Cloudstack UI: add a zone, pod, cluster, host, primary, and secondary for KVM
• After the Secondary Storage VM starts up:

  • Code Block
    ssh -i /root/.ssh/id_rsa.cloud -p 3922 root@169.254.x.x (SSVM local link ip) cp -r /usr/local/cloud/systemvm /usr/local/cloud/systemvm.orig rm /usr/local/cloud/systemvm/cloud-*.jar scp root@<machine1>:<incubator-cloudstack-dir>/client/target/cloud-client-ui-4.1.0-SNAPSHOT/WEB-INF/lib/cloud-*.jar /usr/local/cloud/systemvm service cloud stop service cloud start

6. Setup LXC

• From the CS Cloudstack UI: add a cluster, host, primary for LXC
• Wait for the SSVM to download the Centos 6.3 LXC image
• Create an LXC instance
• Login with cloud/cloud
