Description

This is a template for deploying a ownCloud on a single Linux Server.

Requirements

A Heat provider that supports the Rackspace OS::Heat::ChefSolo plugin.
An OpenStack username, password, and tenant id.
python-heatclient >= v0.2.8:

pip install python-heatclient

We recommend installing the client within a Python virtual environment.

Example Usage

Here is an example of how to deploy this template using the python-heatclient:

heat --os-username <OS-USERNAME> --os-password <OS-PASSWORD> --os-tenant-id \
  <TENANT-ID> --os-auth-url https://identity.api.rackspacecloud.com/v2.0/ \
  stack-create ownCloud-Stack -f owncloud.yaml \
  -P flavor="4 GB Performance"

For UK customers, use https://lon.identity.api.rackspacecloud.com/v2.0/ as the --os-auth-url.

Optionally, set environmental variables to avoid needing to provide these values every time a call is made:

export OS_USERNAME=<USERNAME>
export OS_PASSWORD=<PASSWORD>
export OS_TENANT_ID=<TENANT-ID>
export OS_AUTH_URL=<AUTH-URL>

Parameters

Parameters can be replaced with your own values when standing up a stack. Use the -P flag to specify a custom parameter.

image: Operating system to install (Default: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr))
flavor: Cloud server size to use. (Default: 2 GB Performance)
owncloud_username: Admin username to configure with ownCloud (Default: admin)
kitchen: URL for the kitchen to clone with git. The Chef Solo run will copy all files in this repo into the kitchen for the chef run. (Default: https://github.com/rackspace-orchestration-templates/owncloud)
chef_version: Chef client version to install for the chef run. (Default: 11.12.8)

Note: The admin password will be automatically generated and passed back to you as an output.

Outputs

Once a stack comes online, use heat output-list to see all available outputs. Use heat output-show <OUTPUT NAME> to get the value fo a specific output.

private_key: SSH private that can be used to login as root to the server.
server_ip: Public IP address of the cloud server
owncloud_url: Address to use when accessing ownCloud
owncloud_username: Admin username to use for logging into ownCloud
owncloud_password: Admin password to use for logging into ownCloud
mysql_root_password: MySQL Root Password
owncloud_db_password: Database password for the ownCloud database

For multi-line values, the response will come in an escaped form. To get rid of the escapes, use echo -e '<STRING>' > file.txt. For vim users, a substitution can be done within a file using %s/\\n/\r/g.

Stack Details

Getting Started

If you are new to ownCloud, check out their documentation on how to use the web interface.

Accessing your Deployment

Use the ownCloud URL provided to access your deployment. You will get a certificate warning since it's self signed. Login with the ownCloud username and password provided.

Logging in via SSH

The private key provided in the passwords section can be used to login as root via SSH. We have an article on how to use these keys with Mac OS X and Linux as well as Windows using PuTTY.

There are substantial changes still happening within the OpenStack Heat project. Template contribution guidelines will be drafted in the near future.
