Now I want to share interesting post like open source cloud computing system. In this tutorial how to install Apache Cloud Stack Management server using Ubuntu 20.04. So let’s start this guide.

★ Private Cloud Setup Step By Step Using Apache Cloud Stack

★ How To Install Zabbix 5.0 On Ubuntu 20.04 Server

My server info:

Operating System: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
IP Address 	: 10.66.100.21
RAM 		: 2GB
Disk 		: 50GB
Service 	: Apache Cloud Stack v4.15
Mysql 		: 8 Java 		: 11 jdk
Host Name	: cloud.technologyrss.local

Step #01: Configure hostname ip address for prepare server.

root@cloud:~# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
Release: 20.04
Codename: focal
root@cloud:~# ip r

Check hosts file

root@cloud:~# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
10.66.100.21 cloud.technologyrss.local cloud

Check hostname file

root@cloud:~# cat /etc/hostname
cloud

Check static ip address setup

root@cloud:~# cat /etc/netplan/00-installer-config.yaml
network:
    ethernets:
         enp0s3:
            dhcp4: false
            addresses: [10.66.100.21/16]
            gateway4: 10.66.100.10
            nameservers:
                    addresses: [8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4]
    version: 2

Insert google dns server ip address into resolv.conf file.

nameserver 8.8.8.8

Step #02: Download required package for setup Apache Cloud Stack.

root@cloud:~# hostname --fqdn
root@cloud:~# ping cloudstack.apache.org
root@cloud:~# apt-get install -y openntpd openssh-server sudo vim htop tar intel-microcode bridge-utils mysql-server

Add Apache Cloud Stack 4.15 repo.

root@cloud:~# echo deb http://download.cloudstack.org/ubuntu focal 4.15  > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cloudstack.list
root@cloud:~# sudo wget -O - http://download.cloudstack.org/release.asc|apt-key add -
root@cloud:~# apt-get update -y

Note: I am extremely sorry, When I create video then using ubuntu bionic. Please use this guide.

Install Apache Cloud Stack package.

root@cloud:~# apt-get install -y cloudstack-management cloudstack-usage

Open mysqld.cnf file for add some configuration.

root@cloud:~# vi /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf

Insert below all lines into mysqld.conf file.

server_id = 1
sql-mode="STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_ZERO_DATE,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION"
innodb_rollback_on_timeout=1
innodb_lock_wait_timeout=600
max_connections=1000
log-bin=mysql-bin
binlog-format = 'ROW'

Then save and exit using Press Esc, type :wq then press Enter.

Create or open cloudstack.conf file.

root@cloud:~# vi /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/cloudstack.cnf

Insert below line into this file.

[mysqld]

Then save and exit using Press Esc, type :wq then press Enter.

Step #03: Configure Mysql database and create cloud database.

root@cloud:~# systemctl restart mysql
root@cloud:~# mysql -u root -p     // default root password is blank

Create root password and allow native password.

SELECT user,authentication_string,plugin,host FROM mysql.user;
ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'passw0rd';
use mysql;
UPDATE user SET plugin="mysql_native_password" WHERE User='root';
flush privileges;
\q

Now run Apache Cloud Stack Management setup command with root password.

root@cloud:~# cloudstack-setup-databases cloud:cloud@localhost --deploy-as=root:passw0rd

Then check setup management command is ok.

root@cloud:~# cloudstack-setup-management

Now check management server log file

root@cloud:~# tail -f /var/log/cloudstack/management/management-server.log

Wait at least few min….when done import default database and run properly web gui. Then access using below UI.

Step #04: Edit some global configuration if your cloud is private.

Old UI : http://10.66.100.21:8080/client/legacy/
New UI : http://10.66.100.21:8080/client/#/user/login?redirect=%2F

Default login

User	 : admin
Password : password

Now setup some global configuration.

system.vm.use.local.storage		[ set false to -> true
ca.plugin.root.auth.strictness		[ set true to -> false
secstorage.allowed.internal.sites	[ set local downlead iso web server or public server.

Must be restart cloudstack management service or you can reboot.

root@cloud:~# /bin/systemctl stop cloudstack-management.service
root@cloud:~# /bin/systemctl start cloudstack-management.service

Step #05: Add local domain name for every each server.

root@cloud:~# vi /etc/idmapd.conf

Insert below line.

Domain = technologyrss.local		[ Both management and host server.

Then restart rpcbind and check port is ruuning.

root@cloud:~# service rpcbind start
root@cloud:~# chkconfig rpcbind on
root@cloud:~# rpcinfo -p

Step #06: Download systemvm template on secondary storage.

Create secondary storage folder.

root@cloud:~# mkdir -p /mnt/secondary

Then mount nfs share folder.

root@cloud:~# mount -t nfs 10.66.100.14:/home/secondary /mnt/secondary

Then run template download command from Apache Cloud Stack server.

root@cloud:~# /usr/share/cloudstack-common/scripts/storage/secondary/cloud-install-sys-tmplt -m /mnt/secondary -u http://download.cloudstack.org/systemvm/4.15/systemvmtemplate-4.15.0-kvm.qcow2.bz2 -h kvm -F

When successfully done download and install then run below step.

root@cloud:~# umount /mnt/secondary         [ If you use Apache Cloud Stack Management server as nfs server so don’t remove this directory.

Remove created directory.

root@cloud:~# rm -rf /mnt/secondary

Then restart Apache Cloud Stack service.

root@cloud:~# /bin/systemctl stop cloudstack-management.service
root@cloud:~# /bin/systemctl start cloudstack-management.service

Then access using server ip address or your local dns name.

http://10.66.100.21:8080/client/legacy/
http://10.66.100.21:8080/client/#/user/login?redirect=%2F
