+# OpenStack
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+**Experimental, haven't had a chance to run through this recently so YMMV.**
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+The netboot.xyz ISO image can be used with OpenStack clouds to boot an instance
|
|
|
|
+and perform a custom installation of an operating system.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+### Command line
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+Start by downloading the ISO and then import it into glance:
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ $ wget https://boot.netboot.xyz/ipxe/netboot.xyz-dhcp.iso
|
|
|
|
+ $ glance image-create --name netboot.xyz \
|
|
|
|
+ --disk-format iso \
|
|
|
|
+ --container-format bare \
|
|
|
|
+ --file netboot.xyz-dhcp.iso \
|
|
|
|
+ --visibility public

|
|
+It should only take a few seconds to import. Take the UUID from the `id` field
|
|
|
|
+returned by glance and verify that the image imported successfully:
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ $ glance image-show 4f11d49e-157b-4740-87ad-db7d59bb5d6d

|
|
|
+The image has a status of `active`, so we know that glance imported it
|
|
|
|
+properly.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+Let's boot a new instance with this ISO:
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ nova boot --flavor m1.small \
|
|
|
|
+ --image <image-uuid-of-netbootxyz-image> \
|
|
|
|
+ --nic net-id=<network-uuid> \
|
|
|
|
+ netbootxyz-testing
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+Wait about 30 seconds, then request a console URL:
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ nova get-spice-console c4ff017e-1234-4053-b740-e83eade277b9 spice-html5
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+Open the console URL that nova returns and you should see the familiar
|
|
|
|
+netboot.xyz iPXE interface in the spice console!
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+### Horizon
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+Start by [downloading the netboot.xyz ISO](https://boot.netboot.xyz/ipxe/netboot.xyz-dhcp.iso)
|
|
|
|
+to your local workstation. Follow these steps to import the image into your
|
|
|
|
+OpenStack cloud using Horizon:
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+* Click the _Compute_ tab on the left side, then click _Images_
|
|
|
|
+* Click _Create Image_ (top right)
|
|
|
|
+ * Name: `netboot.xyz ISO`
|
|
|
|
+ * Image Source: Image File
|
|
|
|
+ * Image File: (browse to the ISO you downloaded)
|
|
|
|
+ * Format: ISO - Optical Disk Image
|
|
|
|
+ * Public: Checked (optional, but recommended if you want other tenants to use
|
|
|
|
+ it)
|
|
|
|
+* Click _Create Image_
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+Wait a moment for the status to become `active`. This should only take a few
|
|
|
|
+seconds. To boot an instance with the ISO you uploaded, be sure to choose
|
|
|
|
+_Boot from image_ and select _netboot.xyz ISO_ from the drop down list.
|
|
|
|
+Configure networking and security groups as you normally would for any other
|
|
|
|
+instance.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+When the instance has fully built and gone to active status, click on the
|
|
|
|
+instance name and then go to the _Console_ tab. Depending on your browser,
|
|
|
|
+you may need to click the link to show only the console.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+At that point, you should be able to view the netboot.xyz iPXE menu and install
|
|
|
|
+your operating system.
