<p>Hi Alex,<br>
</p>
<p>first off, thank you for your kind reply. I followed your
advices. However, I still have a problem which looks like an
incorrect setting up of a storage pool for lxd. I configured the
/etc/nova-compute.conf as you suggested, but it didn't help. <br>
</p>
<p>In my case those lines look like:</p>
<p>[DEFAULT]<br>
compute_driver = nova_lxd.nova.virt.lxd.LXDDriver</p>
<p>[lxd]<br>
allow_live_migration = True<br>
pool = lxd<br>
</p>
But the error is following (relevant parts from syslog --> it
looks like lxd variables from the /etc/nova-compute.conf aren't
delivered to the driver, or recognized by it, I tried to use
different names for compute_driver e.g. lxd.LXDDriver,
nova-lxd.nova.virt.lxd.(driver).LXDDriver -> however, it didn't
help):<br>

<br>
what is the recommended way of nova-lxd plugin
installation on a fresh xenial host running a pure
OpenStack devstack (Queens) installation? I have
tried to install the nova-lxd plugin by pip
install, or allowing it during OpenStack devstack
installation, but each attempt lead to the same
result. The plugin is either not recognized or the
installation doesn't finish successfully. I went
through the nova-lxd homepage as well as its
github repo, but I wasn't able to solve the whole
installation problem (e.g. I found out that the
installation of the newest version of pylxd helps
with installation of the plugin, however, the
plugin isn't still recognized. So additional
configuration is needed...).<br>
<br>
Do you have any thoughts about it?<br>
</blockquote>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm one of the maintainers for nova-lxd, so
hopefully can get you up and running.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In order for nova-lxd to be configured in nova,
the /etc/nova-compute.conf needs to contain the
lines:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>[DEFAULT]</div>
<div>compute_driver = nova_lxd.nova.virt.lxd.<wbr>LXDDriver</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This little 'fact' is hidden away in the
"nova-compute-lxd" debian package, unfortunately.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You'll also need to configure an [lxd] section
in nova.conf to control the storage pool in LXD
for containers to use when launching instances.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>[lxd]<br>
</div>
<div>allow_live_migration = True<br>
</div>
<div>pool = {{ storage_pool }}<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
</div>
<div>The storage pool will need to be set up
separately in lxd.</div>
<div>--</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>However, an 'easy' way to test OpenStack with
nova-lxd, is to use charms. We have a number of
bundles that work with Juju. For example we have
a deployable bundle for xenial and queens at <a
href="https://github.com/openstack-charmers/openstack-bundles/tree/master/development/openstack-lxd-xenial-queens"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://github.com/<wbr>openstack-charmers/openstack-<wbr>bundles/tree/master/<wbr>development/openstack-lxd-<wbr>xenial-queens</a>
which also has some (hopefully) useful
instructions on how to get it going.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Note the instructions say you have to use MaaS,
but you should be able to adjust using it to the
hardware you are using.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As an alternative, the openstack-ansible
project also supports nova-lxd, but I don't have
any experience with that.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Do come back if you have any further questions;
do let me know how you get on.</div>
<div><br>
