Quick Start

After downloading the appliance from Marketplace, follow this steps to have a basic Lithops instance with localhost compute and storage backends.

Steps to deploy a Lithops instance:

1. Download the Lithops appliance from the OpenNebula Community Marketplace. This will download the VM template and the image for the OS.

   $ onemarketapp export 'Service Lithops' Lithops --datastore default
   

2. Adjust the VM template as desired (i.e. CPU, MEMORY, number of disks). It should look similar to this:

    CONTEXT = [
        NETWORK = "YES",
        ONEAPP_LITHOPS_BACKEND = "$ONEAPP_LITHOPS_BACKEND",
        ONEAPP_LITHOPS_STORAGE = "$ONEAPP_LITHOPS_STORAGE",
        ONEAPP_MINIO_ACCESS_KEY_ID = "$ONEAPP_MINIO_ACCESS_KEY_ID",
        ONEAPP_MINIO_BUCKETT = "$ONEAPP_MINIO_BUCKETT",
        ONEAPP_MINIO_ENDPOINT = "$ONEAPP_MINIO_ENDPOINT",
        ONEAPP_MINIO_ENDPOINT_CERT = "$ONEAPP_MINIO_ENDPOINT_CERT",
        ONEAPP_MINIO_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = "$ONEAPP_MINIO_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY",
        SSH_PUBLIC_KEY = "$USER[SSH_PUBLIC_KEY]" ]
    CPU = "1"
    DISK = [
        IMAGE = "service-Lithops" ]
    GRAPHICS = [
        LISTEN = "0.0.0.0",
        TYPE = "VNC" ]
    HYPERVISOR = "kvm"
    INPUTS_ORDER = "ONEAPP_LITHOPS_BACKEND,ONEAPP_LITHOPS_STORAGE,ONEAPP_MINIO_ENDPOINT,ONEAPP_MINIO_ACCESS_KEY_ID,ONEAPP_MINIO_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY,ONEAPP_MINIO_BUCKETT,ONEAPP_MINIO_ENDPOINT_CERT"
    LOGO = "images/logos/lithops.png"
    MEMORY = "768"
    MEMORY_UNIT_COST = "MB"
    USER_INPUTS = [
        ONEAPP_LITHOPS_BACKEND = "O|text|Compute backend| |localhost",
        ONEAPP_LITHOPS_STORAGE = "O|text|Storage backend| |localhost",
        ONEAPP_MINIO_ACCESS_KEY_ID = "O|text|MinIO account user access key| |",
        ONEAPP_MINIO_BUCKETT = "O|text|MinIO bucket name| |",
        ONEAPP_MINIO_ENDPOINT = "O|text|MinIO endpoint URL| |",
        ONEAPP_MINIO_ENDPOINT_CERT = "O|text64|CA certificate for MinIO connection| |",
        ONEAPP_MINIO_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = "O|text|MinIO account user secret access key| |" ]
   

3. Instantiate Lithops template:

   $ onetemplate instantiate Lithops
   

   This will prompt the user for the contextualization parameters, set the defaults for localhost compute and storage backends.

4. Attach a new NIC to the VM:

   $ onevm nic-atttach VM_ID --network VNET_ID
   

5. Access your new Lithops instance and check Lithops is working:

   $ onevm ssh VM_ID
   
   root@localhost:~# lithops hello
