|
|
Dear Team,
I'm searching for an ebuild to install OpenStack. I want to set up my own OpenStack installation on top of KVM installed on my machine. My plan is to install Gentoo on each VM and configure OpenStack. I am currently using Gentoo Linux 23 on my desktop.
Please provide me with your advice on this. |

All the links are outdated, so I decided to ask for help on this forum.
Do you know of any repository that provides OpenStack ebuilds for production/stable use? Or Please confirm that these ebuilds are not provided by the main Gentoo repositories. |

Hey,
First of all -- happy to hear you're using OpenStack. I've been working on it as a developer or operator for over a decade so hopefully I can help.
For installation though, I'd suggest using one of the existing OpenStack projects around installation, even if that may mean you need to run on a different distro than Gentoo or adapt the code to work on a Gentoo-based container host, e.g.:
Kolla-Ansible uses containers to run the openstack services:
- https://docs.openstack.org/kolla-ansible/latest/user/quickstart.html
There are no currently maintained ebuilds for OpenStack and there are a couple of really good reasons for that:
- OpenStack tests against a locked-in set of dependencies, and using a rolling release distro with it can lead to unexpected results
- OpenStack's support life-cycle is longer than that for Gentoo (especially when thinking about e.g. python version support)
I know this may not be a gentoo-y answer, but I want to be completely up-front with you about what's most likely to lead to a working install for you. You're also welcome to post to the openstack-discuss https://lists.openstack.org/mailman3/lists/openstack-discuss.lists.openstack.org/ mailing list if you have questions about it, or come join us in OFTC IRC -- I am personally in a lot of channels including #openstack-dev (JayF).
Good luck, and I hope you get where you're going! Please reach out via OpenStack channels if I can be of help.

To be clear: many OpenStack-adjacent **utilities** have gentoo ebuilds and are supported on a wider range of possible dependencies. These include our SDKs, CLI clients, diskimage-builder and PBR. _________________ Jay Faulkner
