This page contains the instructions for an all-in-one installation of CloudStack/Vines in Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS. It is for testing or trial purpose only, so we do not recommend it for a production deployment.

apt-get -y update && apt-get -y upgrade
apt-get -y install bridge-utils openssh-server openntpd genisoimage python3-pip mysql-server nfs-kernel-server qemu-kvm libvirt-bin

Rename the /etc/netplan/00-installer-config.yaml file to /etc/netplan/original-00-installer-config.yaml to save it as a backup.

mv /etc/netplan/00-installer-config.yaml /etc/netplan/original-00-installer-config.yaml

Use your preferred editor and open a new file /etc/netplan/00-installer-config.yaml. Add the content below to the file.

network:
    version: 2
    renderer: networkd
    ethernets:
        ens3:
            dhcp4: no
            dhcp6: no

    bridges:
        cloudbr0:
            interfaces: [ens3]
            dhcp4: no
            dhcp6: no
            addresses: [192.168.122.10/24]
            gateway4: 192.168.122.1
            nameservers:
                addresses: [8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4]

Apply the changes.

echo "192.168.122.10:/export/primary /mnt/primary nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr,vers=3,noauto 0 2" >> /etc/fstab
echo "192.168.122.10:/export/secondary /mnt/secondary nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr,vers=3,noauto 0 2" >> /etc/fstab
