In this tutorial is how to install Cloud Stack management server v4.14 on Ubuntu 18.04 server. The Apache Cloud Stack is an open source cloud computing system. I have many guide for using Cloud Stack.

★ Private Cloud Setup Step By Step Using Apache Cloud Stack

★ How To Upgrade Zabbix Server 4.0 To 4.4 On CentOS 8

My server info :
IP address : 10.66.11.25
Operating System : Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
RAM : 2 GB
Disk : 50 GB
vCPU : 2
CPU op-mode(s) : 64-bit
Service : Apache Cloud Stack v4.14
Database : Mysql 5.7
Java : 11 jdk

Step #01 : Configure host name and static ip address with server update.

root@cloud:~# lsb_release -a
root@cloud:~# ip r
root@cloud:~# apt update && apt upgrade -y
root@cloud:~# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
10.66.11.25     cloud.technologyrss.local       cloud

Fix Ubuntu 18.04 update and upgrade problem.

Check hostname

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

Setup static ip address like below this.

root@cloud:~# cat /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml
network:
    ethernets:
        eth1:
            dhcp4: false
            addresses: [10.66.11.25/16]
            gateway4: 10.66.11.2
            nameservers:
                    addresses: [8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4]
    version: 2

Must be add google dns ip address on your resolv.conf file.

root@cloud:~# cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 8.8.8.8

Then reboot server for change all setup.

root@cloud:~# reboot

Step #02 : Install mysql server and CloudStack management server.

root@cloud:~# hostname --fqdn
root@cloud:~# ping cloudstack.apache.org
root@cloud:~# apt-get -y install openntpd openssh-server sudo vim htop tar intel-microcode bridge-utils mysql-server
root@cloud:~# echo deb http://download.cloudstack.org/ubuntu bionic 4.14  > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cloudstack.list
root@cloud:~# wget -O - http://download.cloudstack.org/release.asc|apt-key add -
root@cloud:~# apt-get update -y
root@cloud:~# apt-get -y install cloudstack-management cloudstack-usage

Configure mysql conf file. Open below line via any editor.

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

Then Insert below all lines under [mysqld] section.

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'

Restart mysql service using belwo command.

root@cloud:~# systemctl restart mysql

Configure mysql root password before setup cloud stack database.

root@cloud:~# mysql -u root -p [ default password is blank]

Then execute below all command for setup root password. Remember this command is for mysql version 5.7.

USE mysql;
UPDATE user SET authentication_string=PASSWORD("passw0rd") WHERE User='root';
UPDATE user SET plugin="mysql_native_password" WHERE User='root';
flush privileges;
\q

Step #03 : Setup CloudStack database command with mysql root password.

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

Then see status like as below.

Mysql user name:cloud                                                           [ OK ]
Mysql user password:******                                                      [ OK ]

Mysql server port:3306                                                          [ OK ]
Mysql root user name:root                                                       [ OK ]

CloudStack has successfully initialized database, you can check your database configuration in /etc/cloudstack/management/db.properties

Setup commnad using like below.

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

Wait at least few min for update cloud database …

For access cloud stack web gui.

http://10.66.11.25:8080/client/

Setup global configuration for private cloud.

system.vm.use.local.storage  [ set false to -> true
ca.plugin.root.auth.strictness  [ set true to -> false
secstorage.allowed.internal.sites [ set value = 10.66.11.9  (local server ip using apache web server for download iso, http://10.66.11.9/centos.iso)]

Stop and start management service using below command.

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

NFS 4 communication using local domain, so must be add your local domain name management and all host server.

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

Insert below line.

Domain = technologyrss.local  [ both management and host server]

Restart rpcbind using below command.

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

Step #04 : Configure nfs and download systemvm template.

root@cloud:~# mkdir -p /mnt/secondary
root@cloud:~# mount -t nfs 10.66.100.30:/mnt/share/ct_secondary /mnt/secondary [ Replace your NFS server ip 10.66.100.30 ]
root@cloud:~# /usr/share/cloudstack-common/scripts/storage/secondary/cloud-install-sys-tmplt -m /mnt/secondary -u http://download.cloudstack.org/systemvm/4.14/systemvmtemplate-4.14.0-kvm.qcow2.bz2 -h kvm -F

When downlead done, then follow below steps.

Remember it! If your nfs server is separate, so run below command otherwise not.

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

Then restart management service using below command.

root@cloud:~# /bin/systemctl stop cloudstack-management.service
root@cloud:~# /bin/systemctl start cloudstack-management.service
root@cloud:~# tail -f /var/log/cloudstack/management/management-server.log

Setup server time zone as like your local time zone.

root@cloud:~# timedatectl
root@cloud:~# ls -l /etc/localtime
root@cloud:~# timedatectl set-timezone Asia/Dhaka
root@cloud:~# timedatectl
