Apache CloudStack Installation Guide

This README provides a comprehensive, step-by-step guide for installing Apache CloudStack on a single machine, which acts as both the Management Server and the KVM Host. This "all-in-one" setup is perfect for testing, learning, and small-scale deployments. The guide covers two different versions: CloudStack 4.20 on Ubuntu 24.04 and CloudStack 4.18 on Ubuntu 22.04.

Apache CloudStack 4.20 on Ubuntu 24.04

This section details the installation of Apache CloudStack 4.20 on a single Ubuntu 24.04 machine.

System and Network Configuration

First, you need to configure your system and network settings. The example uses a home network of 192.168.101.0/24 with a gateway at 192.168.101.1.

Network Details:

Home Network: 192.168.101.0/24
Gateway: 192.168.101.1
Management IP: 192.168.101.4
System IPs: 192.168.101.51-70
Public IPs: 192.168.101.71-90

1. Set a Static IP Address The Management Server needs a static IP address. This guide uses netplan for network configuration.

Rename any existing configuration files in /etc/netplan/ by adding a .bak extension.

Create a new configuration file, for example, /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml, and add the following content. This configuration sets up a bridge (cloudbr0) with a static IP and connects it to the physical interface (eno1).

network:
version: 2
renderer: networkd
ethernets:
  eno1:
    dhcp4: false
    dhcp6: false
    optional: true
bridges:
  cloudbr0:
    addresses: [192.168.101.4/24]
    routes:
     - to: default
       via: 192.168.101.1
    nameservers:
      addresses: [1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8]
    interfaces: [eno1]
    dhcp4: false
    dhcp6: false
    parameters:
      stp: false
      forward-delay: 0

Apply the new configuration and reboot the system.
```
sudo -i
netplan generate
netplan apply
reboot
```

2. Update System & Install Tools Update your system and install essential packages, including bridge-utils for network bridging and an SSH server for remote access.

apt update & upgrade
apt install htop lynx duf -y
apt install bridge-utils

3. Configure LVM (Optional) This step is only necessary if you are using Logical Volume Management and need to extend the disk space.

lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv
resize2fs /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv

4. Install SSH Server and Others Tools These commands install an SSH server for remote access terminal and other tools for monitoring and configuring.

apt-get install openntpd openssh-server sudo vim htop tar -y
apt-get install intel-microcode -y
passwd root
# Set a new password for the root user.

5. Enable Root Login via SSH For easier management, enable root login. This is not recommended for production environments. This is required by cloudstack management when adding a new host.

sed -i '/#PermitRootLogin prohibit-password/a PermitRootLogin yes' /etc/ssh/sshd_config
service ssh restart

6. Set Timezone Ensure your system time is synchronized, which is critical for a well-functioning server environment.

timedatectl set-timezone Asia/Jakarta

CloudStack Management Server Installation

This section covers the setup of the Apache CloudStack Management Server and its dependencies.

1. Add CloudStack Repository Add the ShapeBlue repository for CloudStack 4.20 to your system's package list.

sudo -i
mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
wget -O- http://packages.shapeblue.com/release.asc | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/cloudstack.gpg > /dev/null
echo deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/cloudstack.gpg] http://packages.shapeblue.com/cloudstack/upstream/debian/4.20 / > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cloudstack.list
apt-get update -y

2. Install Management Server & MySQL Install the core CloudStack and MySQL server packages. This may take a considerable amount of time.

apt-get install cloudstack-management mysql-server

3. Configure MySQL Database Modify the MySQL configuration file to optimize it for CloudStack. You can either use nano or the provided sed command.

# Using nano
nano /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf

# Paste the following lines under the [mysqld] block:
[mysqld]
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 the MySQL service
systemctl restart mysql

4. Deploy CloudStack Database Initialize the CloudStack database, creating a cloud user with the password cloud. Replace root:password with your MySQL root credentials.

cloudstack-setup-databases cloud:cloud@localhost --deploy-as=root:password -i 192.168.101.4

5. Configure Primary & Secondary Storage Set up NFS (Network File System) to handle primary and secondary storage. This is where your virtual machine disks and templates will be stored.

apt-get install nfs-kernel-server quota
echo "/export *(rw,async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)" > /etc/exports
mkdir -p /export/primary /export/secondary
exportfs -a

6. Configure NFS Server To configure the NFS server with specific ports for RPC services, modify the relevant configuration files located in /etc/default. You can either edit these files directly or replace their entire contents with the provided configuration shown below.

Paste below configuration to /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server

# Configuration for nfs-kernel-server
# Number of servers to start up
RPCNFSDCOUNT=8

# Runtime priority of server (see nice(1))
RPCNFSDPRIORITY=0

# Options for rpc.mountd.
# If you have a port-based firewall, you might want to set up
# a fixed port here using the --port option. For more information,
# see rpc.mountd(8) or http://wiki.debian.org/SecuringNFS
# To disable NFSv4 on the server, specify '--no-nfs-version 4' here
RPCMOUNTDOPTS="-p 892 --manage-gids"

# Do you want to start the svcgssd daemon? It is only required for Kerberos
# exports. Valid alternatives are "yes" and "no"; the default is "no".
NEED_SVCGSSD=""

# Options for rpc.svcgssd.
RPCSVCGSSDOPTS=""

Paste below configuration to /etc/default/nfs-common

# Configuration for nfs-commom
# If you do not set values for the NEED_ options, they will be attempted
# autodetected; this should be sufficient for most people. Valid alternatives
# for the NEED_ options are "yes" and "no".

# Do you want to start the statd daemon? It is not needed for NFSv4.
NEED_STATD=

# Options for rpc.statd.
#   Should rpc.statd listen on a specific port? This is especially useful
#   when you have a port-based firewall. To use a fixed port, set this
#   this variable to a statd argument like: "--port 4000 --outgoing-port 4001".
#   For more information, see rpc.statd(8) or http://wiki.debian.org/SecuringNFS
STATDOPTS="--port 662 --outgoing-port 2020"

# Do you want to start the idmapd daemon? It is only needed for NFSv4.
NEED_IDMAPD=

# Do you want to start the gssd daemon? It is required for Kerberos mounts.
NEED_GSSD=
NEED_STATD=yes

Paste below configuration to /etc/default/quota

# Configuration for quota
# Set to "true" if warnquota should be run in cron.daily
run_warnquota=

# Add options to rpc.rquotad here
RPCRQUOTADOPTS="-p 875"

7. CloudStack Usage and Billing (Optional) The cloudstack-usage package in Apache CloudStack installs the Usage Server, which is an optional but powerful component designed to track and report resource consumption across your cloud environment.

apt-get install cloudstack-usage

CloudStack KVM Host Configuration

This section prepares the machine to function as a KVM hypervisor host for CloudStack.

1. Install KVM Host & CloudStack Agent Install the qemu-kvm hypervisor and the cloudstack-agent package that allows CloudStack to manage this host.

apt-get install qemu-kvm cloudstack-agent

2. Configure Libvirt Edit the libvirt configuration to allow it to listen for connections from the Management Server.

# Allow VNC connections from all IPs
sed -i -e 's/\#vnc_listen.*$/vnc_listen = "0.0.0.0"/g' /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf

# Add the following lines to libvirtd.conf to enable TCP listening
echo 'listen_tls=0' >> /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf
echo 'listen_tcp=1' >> /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf
echo 'tcp_port = "16509"' >> /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf
echo 'mdns_adv = 0' >> /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf
echo 'auth_tcp = "none"' >> /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf
echo 'remote_mode="legacy"' >> /etc/libvirt/libvirt.conf
systemctl restart libvirtd

# Mask libvirt sockets and restart the service to apply changes
systemctl mask libvirtd.socket libvirtd-ro.socket libvirtd-admin.socket libvirtd-tls.socket libvirtd-tcp.socket
systemctl restart libvirtd

# Enable Remote Libvirt Access for CloudStack KVM Integration (Remote Access)
echo LIBVIRTD_ARGS=\"--listen\" >> /etc/default/libvirtd
systemctl restart libvirtd

3. Docker & Service Compatibility Add bridge-related settings to sysctl.conf to prevent conflicts with other services like Docker.

echo "net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-arptables = 0" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
echo "net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables = 0" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
sysctl -p

4. Generate a Unique Host ID Install the uuid package and generate a unique ID for the host.

apt-get install uuid -y
UUID=$(uuid)
echo host_uuid = \"$UUID\" >> /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf
systemctl restart libvirtd

5. Disable AppArmor Disable AppArmor profiles for libvirt to prevent potential permission issues.

ln -s /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.libvirtd /etc/apparmor.d/disable/
ln -s /etc/apparmor.d/usr.lib.libvirt.virt-aa-helper /etc/apparmor.d/disable/
apparmor_parser -R /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.libvirtd
apparmor_parser -R /etc/apparmor.d/usr.lib.libvirt.virt-aa-helper

6. Configure the Firewall with iptables (Optional) This step is critical if you have a firewall enabled. It opens the necessary ports for CloudStack.

NETWORK=192.168.101.0/24
iptables -A INPUT -s $NETWORK -m state --state NEW -p udp --dport 111 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -s $NETWORK -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 111 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -s $NETWORK -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 2049 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -s $NETWORK -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 32803 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -s $NETWORK -m state --state NEW -p udp --dport 32769 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -s $NETWORK -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 892 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -s $NETWORK -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 875 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -s $NETWORK -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 662 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -s $NETWORK -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 8250 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -s $NETWORK -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -s $NETWORK -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 8443 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -s $NETWORK -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 9090 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -s $NETWORK -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 16514 -j ACCEPT
#iptables -A INPUT -s $NETWORK -m state --state NEW -p udp --dport 3128 -j ACCEPT
#iptables -A INPUT -s $NETWORK -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 3128 -j ACCEPT

apt-get install iptables-persistent
# Answer with yes two times

Finalizing the Installation

1. Launch the Management Server Run the final command to set up the Management Server and start the service. This command completes the CloudStack setup and starts the management server. The tail command lets you monitor the log file to see when the services are fully up and running.

cloudstack-setup-management
systemctl status cloudstack-management
tail -f /var/log/cloudstack/management/management-server.log
# Wait for all services to start successfully

2. Open the CloudStack Dashboard Once the services are running, you can access the CloudStack dashboard in your web browser. The default credentials are username: admin and password: password.
