| veenenen | Are there any tools built into cloud-utils to unboot an image for pushing it to ec2? | 17:36 |
| smoser | veenenen, no. | 17:40 |
| smoser | as much as i hate un-booting, i'd be open to such a thing | 17:40 |
| smoser | if you wanted to contribute :) | 17:40 |
| veenenen | Once I get this all working, I'd be happy to contribute it back | 17:41 |
| Ankit | hello all | 18:43 |
| Ankit | guys can u just provide me a full documentation of ubuntu cloud so that i can understand it fully | 18:44 |
| Ankit | plz help me... | 18:44 |
| Crazy | hello everone | 18:47 |
| Crazy | I am using ubuntu cloud for setting up the cloud at my college... but didnt knw hw to move further... | 18:48 |
| Crazy | i have just installed the server... | 18:48 |
| Crazy | plz help me this is my project... plz help | 18:49 |
| smoser | Crazy, did you think people were just ignoring you because of your name ? :) | 18:51 |
| smoser | have you looked at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC ? | 18:51 |
| smoser | the easiest way to get up and running is to do the uec install from the cd | 18:51 |
| Crazy | hmm ya bro i have looked at it | 18:51 |
| Crazy | ya i have installed that succesfully | 18:52 |
| smoser | so what do you need? | 18:52 |
| Crazy | bt pbm is how i put my software in the cloud | 18:52 |
| Crazy | suppose i have to put adobe photoshop there | 18:52 |
| smoser | well, it all starts by getting an AMI (amazon machine image) (or emi) up | 18:53 |
| Crazy | how smoser? | 18:54 |
| smoser | the easiest way to get one is probably from the UEC store (i think there is a store tab in the UEC ui) | 18:54 |
| smoser | install the lucid ubuntu ami | 18:54 |
| smoser | alternatively | 18:54 |
| smoser | download from http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/releases/lucid/release/ | 18:55 |
| smoser | and use 'uec-publish-tarball' on ubuntu-10.04-server-uec-amd64.tar.gz or ubuntu-10.04-server-uec-i386.tar.gz | 18:55 |
| Crazy | ok thanks... but do you have any proper documantation so that i can learn from my own | 18:55 |
| Crazy | plz smoser u look to me the most helping person here... | 18:57 |
| Crazy | should i really change my name, does people here help by seeing there names | 18:58 |
| smoser | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC/CDInstall steps you through most of that. | 18:59 |
| smoser | up to getting an image | 18:59 |
| smoser | (i was only joking. you were here as Ankit and then left and came back as Crazy) | 18:59 |
| Crazy | hmmm okz bro... | 19:04 |
| Crazy | ya bro may i discuss further wd you | 19:04 |
| Crazy | what i have done till yet | 19:04 |
| Crazy | srry for my poor grammar | 19:04 |
| smoser | i'm sorry, but i really can't spend much time trouble shooting here today. | 19:06 |
| Crazy | ok smoser thanks for helping me... i will download that image and come back if any pbm will be there, thanks... bro it was my first time on IRC so dnt knw hw to go on... | 19:07 |
| Crazy | bye | 19:07 |
| veenenen | It worked! Local kvm vm to live ec2 vm. | 19:49 |
| smoser | veenenen, wow! | 20:34 |
| smoser | dude! | 20:34 |
| smoser | that rocks | 20:34 |
| smoser | you used the maverick stuff i pointed you at ? | 20:34 |
| smoser | i'm very interested in details | 20:35 |
| veenenen | After I stopped trying to get fancy, all I had to do was start up the original image, add my ssh key and turn off text passwords. Then just did a standard shutdown. After that I mounted the img to the host and changed the fstab to the regular ec2 fstab. Used ec2-bundle-image (I had to remember to use the ext4 friendly kernel), ec2-upload-bundle, and ec2-register to wrap up the image and push it to ec2. After that, I just launched it and tada it worked | 21:00 |
| smoser | so why, then, did you ahve to boot it at all ? | 21:04 |
| smoser | and i dont know that you would have had to change fstab | 21:04 |
| smoser | this is if you started from a maverick image | 21:04 |
| veenenen | I just wanted to make sure it could be booted on kvm | 21:05 |
| veenenen | Ideally, I'd run the run the server locally to test it, and then when everything is working right, I'd shut it down and push it out. | 21:06 |
| veenenen | So, while I didn't need to start it up now, I will in the future. | 21:06 |
| smoser | right. i understand your general interest. | 21:06 |
| smoser | ok. | 21:06 |
| smoser | you shouldn't have to mount the image in the host to change the fstab though | 21:06 |
| smoser | you were using maverick ? | 21:06 |
| veenenen | yeah | 21:07 |
| smoser | in general, you'll always want to use the same kernel that the registered image on ec2 works with | 21:07 |
| smoser | for maverick images, that "kernel" is pv-grub | 21:07 |
| veenenen | I'm using the one that's currently being used by the 32bit maverick ami | 21:07 |
| veenenen | I'll have to switch it out tomorrow after the kernel updates are done. | 21:08 |
| veenenen | Most of the time I'll have the image running, so I just want the fstab switched out when I'm pushing it. I'm just going to make the mount part of the push script. | 21:09 |
| smoser | veenenen, so the maverick amis wont change | 21:13 |
| smoser | the kernel is loaded from inside the image | 21:13 |
| veenenen | oh, sweet | 21:13 |
| smoser | via pv-grub on ec2, and via that floppy on your local boot | 21:13 |
| veenenen | that's perfect | 21:13 |
| smoser | (and it can be done via a floppy based loader on 10.10 UEC) | 21:13 |
| smoser | what did you change in the /etc/fstab ? | 21:13 |
| smoser | (you should still look at what aki was used for a given ami, but it is not going to change each time there is a new ubuntu kernel, it would only change if amazon released a new pv-grub, and we needed that) | 21:14 |
| veenenen | http://paste.ubuntu.com/494395/ | 21:15 |
| veenenen | I just grabbed the fstab of one of my instances on ec2 | 21:16 |
| smoser | you shouldn't need to do that. | 21:16 |
| smoser | cloud-init will write those ephemeral entries to fstab for you | 21:17 |
| smoser | in fact, you *dont want* to do that | 21:17 |
| smoser | lest you run into a bug like bug 634102 | 21:17 |

| smoser | _mup_, uvirtbot, FIGHT! | 21:18 |
| smoser | someone needs to stop that | 21:18 |
| veenenen | haha | 21:18 |
| veenenen | do I run cloud-init on the img from the host before I start pushing the image to amazon? | 21:19 |
| veenenen | or when the guest is shutting down should it already be adding those? | 21:19 |
| veenenen | I just know the image wasn't booting on amazon until I changed the fstab | 21:20 |
| veenenen | and the error said something about sda1 | 21:21 |
| smoser | cloud-init runs "once per instance" based on the instance-id | 21:22 |
| smoser | hm.. | 21:22 |
| smoser | hm.. | 21:22 |
| smoser | you'r eprobalby right.... | 21:22 |
| smoser | but uncloud-init or cloud-init should not modify /etc/fstab like that | 21:23 |
| smoser | oh wait, maybe... you might have more luck with a newer image. i made a fix for that bug recently in maverick (monday or so) | 21:23 |
| veenenen | I grabbed the image today | 21:24 |
| veenenen | What's cloud-init written in? | 21:24 |
| veenenen | programming language-wise | 21:24 |
| smoser | python | 21:28 |
| smoser | uncloud-init is even more hacky, its written in shell | 21:29 |
| veenenen | Alright, I'll dig in and see what's going wrong sometime this week. | 21:43 |
| smoser | veenenen, thanks. | 21:47 |
| smoser | and i am very interested in your findings. | 21:47 |
| smoser | i really would like to have a generally functional "download image, boot in kvm, customize, push to ec2" path | 21:47 |
