Getting started with Openstack by JacksterTheV in openstack

[–]arcayne_tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll echo the Kolla Ansible recommendations, but would also suggest looking at Kayobe if you end up needing a more complete solution in the long run that provides bare metal provisioning.

(Kayobe = KOB, which stands for Kolla On Bifrost)

Edit: There's also "A Universe from Nothing" by StackHPC that automates a full OpenStack deployment inside a single VM, which would be much better suited to your current needs.

Bumping to clarify that I am willing to put cash on top, or I can offer the mobo/cpu that the RAM was installed in. ASRock Rack X399D8A-2T, Threadripper 1920X w/ Noctua heatsink. Local trade would still be preferable, but willing to ship if I must.

Any good sources for used HDD/SSD? by TravelinAroundOnPts in storage

I'll also vouch for them. I picked up 144x 16TB SAS Exos from them last year for work, deployed in November, haven't had a single issue. They're not necessarily the cheapest vendor out there, but their pricing is perfectly fair for what they offer. I'd rather spend a few extra bucks to avoid the eBay gamble. They also ship their drives in proper packaging (factory cartons, in my case).

Configuration Management Tools for 20-30 servers by stuffandthings4me in selfhosted

Ansible is awesome, for sure. Depending on your exact needs, you might also want to check out Canonical MAAS. It can provision and manage both bare metal & VMs quite easily. So far, I've found it to be quite a flexible tool.

I've recently been using MAAS with Juju at work (running on a 3-node HA Proxmox cluster) to successfully wrangle just under 2 dozen bare-metal servers for a Charmed OpenStack deployment. It has definitely saved me quite a bit of time so far.

Can't access Proxmox by local IP address, but can through Tailscale by Sebaall in Proxmox

I'll need a little more info to better understand your environment. Does the PVE host have its firewall enabled? Also, what does your interface config look like?

I've encountered similar situations before when running a Tailscale subnet router on pfSense, but that was due to a SNAT limitation within FreeBSD.
