# Milestone 8 - OpenStack

## Initial Xubuntu Setup
First we (Paul and I) created a bootable USB with Xubuntu desktop using Rufus (16kb block size.)
Then from the IPMI login, we launched a iKVM console:
Then we installed Xubuntu (screenshots of the process like picking USB, non-default options selected, shown below):
Restarted Xubuntu installer once it was completed:
(Needed to press Enter on the black screen)
## [Openstack install using Microstack](https://github.com/Oliver-Mustoe/Oliver-Mustoe-Tech-Journal/wiki/Milestone-8---OpenStack-Deploy#openstack-install-using-microstack)
After Xubuntu was installed, we installed Microstack:
```
sudo snap install microstack --devmode --beta
```
Microstack installed:
Then we Initialized Microstack:
```
sudo microstack init --auto --control
```
Microstack Initialized:
After that we used the following to get our Microstack password:
```
sudo snap get microstack config.credentials.keystone-password
```
Then we went to " " and logged in:
We then launched a cirros instance (had to wait for it to boot before running the next SSH command):
Then used the following command to SSH into the instance:
```
ssh -i /home/poliver/snap/microstack/common/.shh/id_microstack crirros@10.20.20.59
```
## [VNC install](https://github.com/Oliver-Mustoe/Oliver-Mustoe-Tech-Journal/wiki/Milestone-8---OpenStack-Deploy#vnc-install)
First we installed VNC server on the Xubuntu box with the following:
```
sudo apt update -y
sudo apt install xfce xfce4-goodies openssh-server -y
sudo apt install tightvncserver -y
vncserver
```
Then killed the VNC instance and copied the xstartup (to have a backup):
```
vncserver -kill :1
cp ~/.vnc/xstartup ~/.vnc/xstartup.bak
```
Filled `~/.vnc/xstartup` with the following (setup is for XFCE as that is what Xubuntu runs):
Then started VNC server:
```
vncserver -localhost
```
Afterwards I installed vnc viewer on my desktop, and after using the following command to start a secure SSH session with the Xubuntu VNC server I could connect to the remote desktop at "localhost:59000":
```
ssh -L 59000:localhost:5901 -C -N -l poliver 192.168.7.94
```
(**NOTE:** On Xubuntu, I needed to install google chrome as firefox did not work in the vnc viewer!)
