I recently decided I needed to run an application on OpenStack Flex to make things real. So naturally, I wrote an application from scratch that's more than just a boilerplate bucket of bolts. The gist of what I did over the weekend was to make a tool that harnesses the power of OpenStack with a Swift kick in the teeth.
Welcome! In this blog post we are going over using Openstack-Flex to deploy Ghost. If you havent used ghost before and would like more information about it please visit their website using the link here
Welcome! In this blog post we are going to go over connecting our Openstack-Flex instance to GitHub-actions through the use of self-hosted runners. We will be using an small Ubuntu image for our example, but if you would like a more in-depth look into setting up your environment please check out James’ blog post here.
Modern SSH configurations can sometimes lead to MAC (Message Authentication Code) limitations when connecting between systems with different client setups. I've recently run into this issue when operating from a Mac and connecting to newer operating systems, like NixOS. These limitations can be frustrating, but they are fixable with minimal effort. This post will show you how to change your SSH client to use an appropriate MAC, even if it's not explicitly allowed in your configuration.
A wordy title, but it was fun to write and hammers on "OS;" OpenStack / Operating System. With the release of OpenStack Flex, we have opened up some much needed ease of operation and functionality into our multi-tenant OpenStack platform. One of the many new features in our public cloud is the ability to simply create and manage custom images. In this blog post, we will guide you through creating a NixOS 24.05 QCOW2 image which is cloud ready. We'll use resources found in the nixos-openstack GitHub repository and we'll build all of this from Ubuntu within OpenStack Flex.
Here I wanted to show our customers and hopefully future customers on how easy it is to host your own Wordpress site using Openstack Flex.
Below is a video that you can follow along with that will take you through a step by step setup.
