How to create VM images for ucloud
==================================
Overview
---------
ucloud tries to be least invasise towards VMs and only require
strictly necessary changes for running in a virtualised
environment. This includes configurations for:
* Configuring the network
* Managing access via ssh keys
* Resizing the attached disk(s)
Network configuration
---------------------
All VMs in ucloud are required to support IPv6. The primary network
configuration is always done using SLAAC. A VM thus needs only to be
configured to
* accept router advertisements on all network interfaces
* use the router advertisements to configure the network interfaces
* accept the DNS entries from the router advertisements
Configuring SSH keys
--------------------
To be able to access the VM, ucloud support provisioning SSH keys.
To accept ssh keys in your VM, request the URL
*http://metadata/ssh_keys*. Add the content to the appropriate user's
**authorized_keys** file. Below you find sample code to accomplish
this task:
.. code-block:: sh
tmp=$(mktemp)
curl -s http://metadata/ssk_keys > "$tmp"
touch ~/.ssh/authorized_keys # ensure it exists
cat ~/.ssh/authorized_keys >> "$tmp"
sort "$tmp" | uniq > ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
Disk resize
-----------
In virtualised environments, the disk sizes might grow. The operating
system should detect disks that are bigger than the existing partition
table and resize accordingly. This task is os specific.
ucloud does not support shrinking disks due to the complexity and
intra OS dependencies.

Usage Guide For Administrators
==============================
Start API
----------
.. code-block:: sh
ucloud api
Host Creation
-------------
Currently, we don't have any host (that runs virtual machines).
So, we need to create it by executing the following command
.. code-block:: sh
ucloud-cli host create --hostname ungleich.ch --cpu 32 --ram '32GB' --os-ssd '32GB'
You should see something like the following
.. code-block:: json
{
"message": "Host Created"
}
Start Scheduler
---------------
Scheduler is responsible for scheduling VMs on appropriate host.
.. code-block:: sh
ucloud scheduler
Start Host
----------
Host is responsible for handling the following actions
* Start VM.
* Stop VM.
* Create VM.
* Delete VM.
* Migrate VM.
* Manage Network Resources needed by VMs.
It uses a hypervisor such as QEMU to perform these actions.
To start host we created earlier, execute the following command
.. code-block:: sh
ucloud host ungleich.ch
Create OS Image
---------------
Create ucloud-init ready OS image (Optional)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This step is optional if you just want to test ucloud. However, sooner or later
you want to create OS images with ucloud-init to properly
contexualize VMs.
1. Start a VM with OS image on which you want to install ucloud-init
2. Execute the following command on the started VM
.. code-block:: sh
apk add git
git clone https://code.ungleich.ch/ucloud/ucloud-init.git
cd ucloud-init
sh ./install.sh
3. Congratulations. Your image is now ucloud-init ready.
Upload Sample OS Image
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Execute the following to get the sample OS image file.
.. code-block:: sh
mkdir /var/www/admin
(cd /var/www/admin && wget https://cloud.ungleich.ch/s/qTb5dFYW5ii8KsD/download)
Run File Scanner and Image Scanner
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Currently, our uploaded file *alpine-untouched.qcow2* is not tracked by ucloud. We can only make
images from tracked files. So, we need to track the file by running File Scanner
.. code-block:: sh
ucloud filescanner
File Scanner would run, scan your uploaded image and track it. You can check whether your image
is successfully tracked by executing the :code:`ucloud-cli user files`, It will return something like the following
.. _list-user-files:
.. code-block:: json
{
"message": [
{
"filename": "alpine-untouched.qcow2",
"uuid": "3f75bd20-45d6-4013-89c4-7fceaedc8dda"
}
]
}
Our file is now being tracked by ucloud. Lets create an OS image using the uploaded file.
An image belongs to an image store. There are two types of store
* Public Image Store
* Private Image Store (Not Implemented Yet)
.. note::
**Quick Quiz** Have we created an image store yet?
The answer is **No, we haven't**. Creating a sample image store is very easy.
Just execute the following command
.. code-block:: sh
(cd ~/ucloud && pipenv run python api/create_image_store.py)
An image store (with name = "images") would be created. Now, we are fully ready for creating our
very own image. Executing the following command to create image using the file uploaded earlier
.. code-block:: sh
ucloud-cli image create-from-file --name alpine --uuid 3f75bd20-45d6-4013-89c4-7fceaedc8dda --image-store-name images
Please note that your **uuid** would be different. See :ref:`List of user files <list-user-files>`.
Now, ucloud have received our request to create an image from file. We have to run Image Scanner to make the image.
.. code-block:: sh
ucloud imagescanner
To make sure, that our image is create run :code:`ucloud-cli image list --public`. You would get
output something like the following
.. code-block:: json
{
"images": [
{
"name": "images:alpine",
"status": "CREATED"
}
]
}

Usage Guide For End Users
=========================
Create VM
---------
The following command would create a Virtual Machine (name: meow)
with following specs
* CPU: 1
* RAM: 1GB
* OS-SSD: 4GB
* OS: Alpine Linux
.. code-block:: sh
ucloud-cli vm create --vm-name meow --cpu 1 --ram '1gb' --os-ssd '4gb' --image images:alpine
.. _how-to-check-vm-status:
Check VM Status
---------------
.. code-block:: sh
ucloud-cli vm status --vm-name meow
.. code-block:: json
{
"hostname": "/v1/host/74c21c332f664972bf5078e8de080eea",
"image_uuid": "3f75bd20-45d6-4013-89c4-7fceaedc8dda",
"in_migration": null,
"log": [
"2019-11-12T09:11:09.800798 - Started successfully"
],
"metadata": {
"ssh-keys": []
},
"name": "meow",
"network": [],
"owner": "admin",
"owner_realm": "ungleich-admin",
"specs": {
"cpu": 1,
"hdd": [],
"os-ssd": "4.0 GB",
"ram": "1.0 GB"
},
"status": "RUNNING",
"vnc_socket": "/tmp/tmpj1k6sdo_"
}
Connect to VM using VNC
-----------------------
We would need **socat** utility and a remote desktop client
e.g Remmina, KRDC etc. We can get the vnc socket path by getting
its status, see :ref:`how-to-check-vm-status`.
.. code-block:: sh
socat TCP-LISTEN:1234,reuseaddr,fork UNIX-CLIENT:/tmp/tmpj1k6sdo_
Then, launch your remote desktop client and connect to vnc://localhost:1234.
Create Network
--------------
Layer 2 Network with sample IPv6 range fd00::/64 (without IPAM and routing)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code-block:: sh
ucloud-cli network create --network-name mynet --network-type vxlan
Layer 2 Network with /64 network with automatic IPAM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code-block:: sh
ucloud-cli network create --network-name mynet --network-type vxlan --user True
Attach Network to VM
--------------------
Currently, user can only attach network to his/her VM at
the time of creation. A sample command to create VM with
a network is as follow
.. code-block:: sh
ucloud-cli vm create --vm-name meow2 --cpu 1 --ram '1gb' --os-ssd '4gb' --image images:alpine --network mynet
.. _get-list-of-hosts:
Get List of Hosts
-----------------
.. code-block:: sh
ucloud-cli host list
Migrate VM
----------
.. code-block:: sh
ucloud-cli vm migrate --vm-name meow --destination server1.place10
.. option:: --destination
The name of destination host. You can find a list of host
using :ref:`get-list-of-hosts`
