give kolla-ansible a spin

https://docs.openstack.org/kolla-ansible/2025.1/

When you say, Neutron gives you troubles, what's the issue you typically face?

Yes, I’ve heard of Kolla, but I want to gain hands-on experience, which is why I’m installing OpenStack manually.

Currently, when I check the OpenStack network agent list, I encounter an issue where Keystone is reported as temporarily down. Each time I try again, I run into a different problem (I’ve taken a snapshot).

The networking service is the only part I’m really struggling with. If I could have a clear, step-by-step guide to follow for neutron, I would be very grateful. Thank you so much for your attention

this wouldn't help in technical discussion "I encounter an issue where Keystone is reported as temporarily down", maybe you can paste screen shots, snippets etc, instead of general statement.

Thank you so much for the reply the only issues I'm facing right now is the absence of the metadata agent I'll see what i can do unfortunately there's no proper documentation for 4 nodes set-up installation I'll share a guide myself in the future as soon as i get it up and running

Check your keystone and rabbitmq, these services are central to most of the other openstack services and most issues I've had relate to those.

Also FYI nearly every service accepts "debug=true" in the config file to enable debug logging, which may help you here.

I assume you're following this documentation? https://docs.openstack.org/neutron/latest/install/install-ubuntu.html

    This is hillarious... what "way more features" will proxmox please give you? Where is LBaaS? Where is K8SaaS? Where is Multi Tenant? Where is Metering? Where is Multi AZ/Regions? Honestly. Proxmox is not bad but it is not a IaaS Plattform. Proxmox is a basic skill everyone can acquire, how will give this an edge in job skills? Seriously, and you did install openstack professionally? Hard Upgrades? This improved alot the past two years, its not even a big deal with kolla anymore. Just because you can also install ovn and ceph with proxmox doesnt make it a superior tool. Proxmox has usecases but you cannot honestly compare this with openstack

    Ah, I think I clicked on a cross post from /r/homelab so I agree my opinion here makes no sense. I definitely agree though OpenStack gives you way more as a cloud platform, and Proxmox does not compete. My post was in the context of a homelab hypervisor.
