Get a CloudRouter image

STEP 1

Obtain the latest Minimal or Full image from the CloudRouter Downloads. These images are in raw format and are compressed with xz

Download the image:

Code Block
languagebash
curl -o CloudRouter-34.0-fedora-minimal.raw.xz https://repo.cloudrouter.org/34/fedora/2324/images/CloudRoutercloudrouter-3.0fedora-fedoracloud-minimal.raw.xz
curl -o CloudRouter-34.0-fedora-minimal.raw.xz.checksum.txt https://repo.cloudrouter.org/34/fedora/2324/images/CloudRouter-3.0-fedora-minimal.raw.xz.checksum.sha256sum.txt

Ensure the image's checksum is correct:

Code Block
languagebash
sha256sum CloudRouter-24.0-fedora-minimal.raw.xz
60dc3d580c3e70a1cfbb34ed90dccf598574887a97742b4ad7f87fa821c43f91fd0998affb9cbaf4d3cc1f2074247b8b2e700be8fad20eb412a9d5ae32fd3af2  CloudRouter-34.0-fedora-minimal.raw.xz

cat CloudRouter-24.0-fedora-minimal.raw.xz.checksum.txt
60dc3d580c3e70a1cfbb34ed90dccf598574887a97742b4ad7f87fa821c43f91fd0998affb9cbaf4d3cc1f2074247b8b2e700be8fad20eb412a9d5ae32fd3af2  ./CloudRouter-3.0-fedoracloudrouter-fedora-cloud-minimal.raw.xz

Un-compress the image:

Code Block
languagebash
xz -d -k CloudRouter-34.0-fedora-minimal.raw.xz

Cloud-init

STEP 2

The CloudRouter image ships without default credentials. The cloudrouter user is provided to manage the system and has sudo access, but no default password is set. The cloudrouter images are configured to load password and/or ssh key data for the cloudrouter user from a metadata ISO image attached to the guest.

...

Please note: This ISO is provided for testing use only and should not be used in production.

Create a guest VM

STEP 3

virt-install - KVM using the CLI

...

Code Block
languagebash
sudo virt-install --accelerate --hvm --os-type linux --os-variant fedora23 --name CloudRouter-34.0-fedora-minimal --vcpus 2 --ram 2048 --import --disk bus=virtio,path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/CloudRouter-34.0-fedora-minimal.raw --disk device=cdrom,bus=ide,path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/cloudrouter-init.iso --network bridge=virbr0,model=virtio --noautoconsole

...

Code Block
languagebash
$ sudo virsh console CloudRouter-34.0-fedora-minimal
