This document describes how to develop, build, package and install Apache CloudStack. For more information please refer to: http://cloudstack.apache.org Apache CloudStack developers use various platforms for development, this guide was tested against a CentOS 6.2 x86_64 setup. Refer to the [wiki](http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Index) for the latest information, especially: - [Setting up development environment](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Setting+up+CloudStack+Development+Environment) for Apache CloudStack. - [Building](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/How+to+build+on+master+branch) Apache CloudStack. ## Setting up Development Environment ### Installing Tools and Dependencies Install tools and dependencies used for development: $ yum install git ant ant-devel java-1.6.0-openjdk java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel mysql mysql-server tomcat6 mkisofs gcc python MySQL-python openssh-clients wget Set up Maven (3.0.5): $ wget http://www.us.apache.org/dist/maven/maven-3/3.0.5/binaries/apache-maven-3.0.5-bin.tar.gz $ cd /usr/local/ # or any path $ tar -zxvf apache-maven-3.0.5-bin.tar.gz $ echo export M2_HOME=/usr/local/apache-maven-3.0.5 >> ~/.bashrc # or .zshrc or .profile $ echo export PATH=${M2_HOME}/bin:${PATH} >> ~/.bashrc # or .zshrc or .profile Note: Tomcat 6.0.35 has some known issue with Apache CloudStack, please use Tomcat 6.0.33 from http://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-6/v6.0.33/bin ### Configure Environment Set CATALINA_HOME to path where you extract/install tomcat, put them in your .bashrc or .zshrc or .profile: $ echo export CATALINA_HOME=/usr/share/tomcat6/ >> ~/.bashrc Fix permissions on CATALINA_HOME: $ chown -R : $CATALINA_HOME Generate you ssh keys, useful for ssh-ing to your hosts and vm etc.: $ ssh-keygen -t rsa -q Apache CloudStack uses some ports, make sure at least those used by the management server are available and not blocked by any local firewall. Following ports are used by Apache CloudStack and its entities: 8080: API Server (authenticated), browser or CLI client to management server 8096: API Server (unauthenticated), browser or CLI client to management server 8787: Remote java debug debugging port, from IDE to management server 9090: Management server to management server (cluster) 7080: AWS API Server to which an AWS client can connect 80/443: HTTP client to Secondary Storage VM (template download) 111/2049: Secondary Storage to NFS server 3922: Port used to ssh/scp into system vms (SSVM, CPVM, VR) 8250: Agent (SSVM, CPVM, VR) to management server 22, 80, 443: XenServer, XAPI 22: KVM 443: vCenter 53: DNS 111/2049: NFS 3306: MySQL Server to which the management server connects ### Configuring MySQL Server Start the MySQL service: $ service mysqld start ### Getting the Source Code You may get the source code from the repository hosted on Apache: $ git clone git://git.apache.org/cloudstack.git Or, you may fork a repository from the official Apache CloudStack mirror by Apache on [Github](https://github.com/apache/cloudstack) To keep yourself updated on a branch, do: $ git pull For example, for master: $ git pull origin master ## Building Clean and build: $ mvn clean install -P systemvm,developer In case you want support for VMWare, SRX and other non-Apache (referred to as nonoss) compliant libs, you may download the following jar artifacts from respective vendors: deps/cloud-iControl.jar deps/cloud-manageontap.jar deps/cloud-netscaler-sdx.jar deps/cloud-netscaler.jar deps/vmware-apputils.jar deps/vmware-vim.jar deps/vmware-vim25.jar Install them to ~/.m2 so maven can get them as dependencies: $ cd deps $ ./install-non-oss.sh To build with nonoss components, use the build command with the nonoss flag: $ mvn clean install -P systemvm,developer -Dnonoss Clear old database (if any) and deploy the database schema: $ mvn -P developer -pl developer -Ddeploydb Export the following variable if you need to run and debug the management server: $ export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=500m -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8787,server=y,suspend=n" Start the management server: $ mvn -pl :cloud-client-ui jetty:run If this works, you've successfully setup a single server Apache CloudStack installation. Open the following URL on your browser to access the Management Server UI: http://localhost:8080/client/ Or, http://management-server-ip-address:8080/client The default credentials are; user: admin, password: password and the domain field should be left blank which is defaulted to the ROOT domain. If you want to contribute your changes, send your [git formatted patch](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Git) to: https://reviews.apache.org/groups/cloudstack or contact on the developer mailing list. ## Packaging and Installation Before packaging, please make sure you go through the "Building" section above. This section describes packaging and installation. ### Debian/Ubuntu To create debs: $ mvn -P deps # -D nonoss, for nonoss as described in the "Building" section above $ dpkg-buildpackage All the deb packages will be created in ../$PWD To create an apt repo: (assuming appropriate user privileges) $ path=/path/to/your/webserver/cloudstack $ mv ../*.deb $path $ dpkg-scanpackages $path /dev/null | gzip -9c > $path/Packages.gz Configure your system to use your new apt repo: $ echo "deb $path ./" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cloudstack.list Installation: Install needed packages, apt-get upgrade for upgrading: $ apt-get update $ apt-get install cloud-client # management server $ apt-get install mysql-server # mysql server $ apt-get install cloud-agent cloud-system-iso # agent (kvm) $ apt-get install cloud-awsapi # awsapi server $ apt-get install cloud-usage # usage server ### RHEL/CentOS To create rpms: $ mvn -P deps # -D nonoss, for nonoss as described in the "Building" section above $ ./waf rpm All the rpm packages will be create in artifacts/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64 To create a yum repo: (assuming appropriate user privileges) $ path=/path/to/your/webserver/cloudstack $ cd artifacts/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64 $ mv *.rpm $path $ createrepo $path Configure your system to use your new yum repo, add the following to /etc/yum.repos.d/cloudstack.repo: [apache-cloudstack] name=Apache CloudStack baseurl=http://webserver.tld/path/to/repo enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 Installation: Install needed packages: $ yum update $ yum install cloud-client # management server $ yum install mysql-server # mysql server $ yum install cloud-agent # agent (kvm) $ yum install cloud-usage # usage server ## Notes If you will be using Xen as your hypervisor, please download [vhd-util](http://download.cloud.com.s3.amazonaws.com/tools/vhd-util) If management server is installed on RHEL/CentOS, then copy vhd-util into: /usr/lib64/cloud/common/scripts/vm/hypervisor/xenserver/ If management server is installed on Ubuntu, then put vhd-util into: /usr/lib/cloud/common/scripts/vm/hypervisor/xenserver/vhd-util Once, you've successfully installed Apache CloudStack you may read the user manuals and guides which contains technical documentation for Apache CloudStack.
