Adding an Ubuntu Image

Use the daily builds for the Ubuntu Cloud Server images. These can be found here.

1. Download the target image

On corn-syrup.csclub.uwaterloo.ca, download your target image. Ensure you pick a qcow2 formatted image. These usually end in the *.img extension.

For example,

cd /tmp
wget https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/bionic/current/bionic-server-cloudimg-amd64.img

2. Upload the image to OpenStack

Note that you must have set your OpenStack environment variables correctly for this step to work. See Appendix A below.

Make sure to set your $FILENAME and $IMAGE_NAME variables to the location and name of your desired image. For example,

FILENAME="/tmp/bionic-server-cloudimg-amd64.img"
IMAGE_NAME="Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) daily build"
openstack image create --container-format bare --disk-format qcow2 --file $FILENAME --public $IMAGE_NAME
