Doubt: Can Bosh-Lite be deployed on an OpenStack VM without using Virtualbox ?
Use Case: Want to have a Bosh-Lite setup that can be used by CI systems
I am not sure if Bosh-Lite can be directly installed on an OpenStack VM or I need to setup VirtualBox first (Does this another layer of virtualization work ?)
I followed the docs # https://bosh.io/docs/bosh-lite and currently stuck at defining the parameters for three variables for Openstack CPI and getting the following error:
Parsing release set manifest '/root/workspace/bosh-deployment/bosh.yml':
Evaluating manifest:
- Expected to find variables:
- default_key_name
- net_id
- private_key
No, bosh-lite is explicitly a virtual box solution where you don't have a full IaaS/CPI like OpenStack
BOSH Lite v2 is a Director VM running in VirtualBox (typically locally)
Is the very first line on the docs you linked to.
You can run full blown bosh on openstack with very little effort though.

I’m looking to learn about Cloud Foundry and I’m trying to get a development instance of it set up on my local Windows 10 PC. But I’m not having any luck.
I’m finding a lot of information about PCF Dev which was deprecated a while ago. I also looked at the replacement for PCF Dev, CF Dev (https://github.com/cloudfoundry-attic/cfdev). Its git page mentions that its repository is no longer receiving updates. I still went ahead and tried installing it using the instructions in the README:
cf install-plugin -r CF-Community cfdev
But the link it uses to download the plugin is broken:
Starting download of plugin binary from repository CF-Community...
Get "https://d3p1cc0zb2wjno.cloudfront.net/cfdev/cfdev-v0.0.18-rc.36-windows.exe": dial tcp: lookup d3p1cc0zb2wjno.cloudfront.net: no such host
Can anyone recommend a way to get a development instance of Cloud Foundry set up on my local machine so I can play around with it?
Thanks
Yes, steer clear of pcf-dev and cf-dev, they may still work but are definitely not getting updates so will be way out of date by now.
My understanding, although I haven't tried this process in a while, is that the way to run locally is with VirtualBox. You can run one locally using bosh-deployment & cf-deployment and Virtualbox.
For instructions installing Bosh in VirtualBox using bosh-deployment, see the Install Section to install Bosh.
With Bosh installed, follow the deployment guide to get CF installed. You can skip to step 4, since you're installing into VirtualBox. Be sure to read the entire document before you begin, however pay specific attention to this section which has specific instructions for running locally.
I have google cloud VM with Ubuntu installed along with various services and libraries. I need to make a similar bootable VM with the same OS and all the data, libraries etc in the already configured VM. How do I clone the VM with these requirements?
I tried to create an image from the already existing VM and could not SSH into it.
So I retraced my installations step by step trying to figure out which step is breaking the image.
I created an Ubuntu(18.04) VM and used that to create an image. The instance I created using the image did allow me to SSH into.
Next installed Ubuntu desktop and xorg server and created an image after that. Using that image, I created a new VM and tried to SSH into it.
But unfortunately, the SSH connection could not be established. So I think it is these installations that are causing the error if it is not some sort of system error.
Below are the exact commands I ran to install these after creating an Ubuntu(18.04) VM:
sudo passwd username
sudo su -
passwd
apt update && apt upgrade -y
adduser username root
adduser username admin
adduser username sudo
apt-get install ubuntu-desktop -y
apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-dummy
nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and pasted the following into the .conf file
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "dummy"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
HorizSync 31.5-48.5
VertRefresh 50-70
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1600x900"
EndSubSection
EndSection
After this state, I created the image using which I could not instantiate a VM that I could SSH into.
Since you have your VM ready and running; backup your image as per this GCP document. Follow the guidelines before you begin the process which were mentioned in the document like updating Google cloud CLI setting default region and zone and for general image guidelines.
Few networking features may require guest operating system mode. You can also check how to export a custom image to cloud storage.
You can also consider the Snapshot Approach.
Follow this process in order to create the image exactly as the one you have already set up and you know is working correctly. As you may already know, this is a custom image so they are available only to your Cloud project. You can create a custom image from boot disks and other images if you would like also. Then, use the custom image to create an instance.
I will also suggest you to give a look at this document which would give you a deeper knowledge on the task.
Regards,
Just spin up a new container from a disk snapshot, if you need an exact copy. And if you cannot SSH, you may either not have a SSH public key provisioned, no external IP assigned, or :22 closed.
gcloud ssh always works. One can as well provision project-wide SSH keys, which all VM in the project will inherit then. The documentation below: About VM metadata explains this all in detail.
My personal favorite are rather startup scripts, which describe the configuration, instead of copying it.
And it's not so difficult to get started with these: cat ~/.bash_history > rocky8_startup.sh. In a software-defined data-center, it might make sense to use software-defined configurations (one simply cannot alternate the installation per VM instance, when starting with a disk snapshot).
xserver-xorg-video-dummy is questionable, because one can enable display device -but unless recording the screen, this driver might still suffice; eg. for VNC sessions.
I am looking for the exact steps for setting up jfrog artifactory pro on AWS and then accessing it from the browser(Browser access must be only from inside the corporation network). I am following the steps from
https://www.devopsschool.com/blog/artifactory-install-and-configurations-guide/
https://github.com/ravdy/DevOps/blob/master/Artifactory/Setup_Artifactory.md
Do I need to setup a reverse proxy? If so the steps of doing that too would be helpful.
I am very new to AWS and jfrog artifactory and reverse proxy stuff( 1 week experience in all these). So I am not able to find the correct resource to get it done.
The best is to use the official installation steps as provided here: https://www.jfrog.com/confluence/display/JFROG/Installing+Artifactory
If you want to use air gapped environment, suggest downloading once into the network a Linux Archive installation and go ahead with install. If Docker is a possibility, download the images locally and install using docker compose.
I want to run my bat file on windows with the help of GCP Composer, but i am not sure if we can communicate with windows machine as composer is fully based on linux environment. Please help me if you have any solution.
There are a couple possible solutions described in this thread, basically:
Installing ssh into your Windows machine and then connecting to run commands remotely using the Airflow’s ssh operator.
Install a package like pywinrm, which allows you to run Windows commands on a target machine from Python code. Then, use the Python operator, within your DAG, to make the call. You may refer to the GCP documentation for steps on installing additional Python packages in Composer.
I want to configure the cloudfoundry environment correctly and test some small application. If any one know, please help me to configure this environment correctly and let me know any use full reference document is available for this, thanks a lot.
I have registered with cloudfoundry and got downloaded following stuffs:
1) micro-1.2.0.zip
2) VMware-Player-4.0.2-591240.x86_64.bundle
3) springsource-tool-suite-2.9.1.RELEASE-e3.7.2-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz
You have everything you need. In short you will need to:
Install Ruby and then VMC or STS plugin for CF
Install VMWare player and run the micro instance within it. Basically you will open the *.vmx file in micro through VMWare player. Your machine has to support and enable virtualization for this
Do necessary configurations and validate your CF with token received online when you created account and domain
open vmc and change target to point to local CF use command "vmc target CFM_ADDRESS"
Deploy and test your application
