openstack-server

A convenience script for creating a server in your OpenStack cloud, in its own network, with its own security groups, exposed with a floating ip.

Usage

openstack-server [-p] -f <flavor> -i <image> -e <external network> -k <key> <NAME>

Required parameters:

  • -f: Flavor of the Compute instance
  • -i: Image of the Compute instance
  • -e: Name or ID of the public network where to create the floating IP
  • -k: Name or ID of the SSH public key to add to the server
  • <NAME>: name to give to the OpenStack resources

Optional parameters:

  • -p: Do not clean up the server after creation (will print a cleanup script instead of executing it)
  • -z: AWS Route53 zone ID. If provided, the script will attempt using the aws client to set up a DNS record

Persistent configuration

The script will source a file in ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-${HOME}/.config}/openstack-server/${OS_CLOUD}.conf before running, if it exists. Any options passed through the configuration file are not required any more. Any options passed as flags will override the sourced configuration.

Here is an example valid configuration file:

server_flavor=m1.xlarge
server_image=fedora-35
external_network=external
key_name=mykey
aws_zone_id=/hostedzone/Z0H230324HJKGFD9HK345
