Installing Solum for Openstack/Devstack

Question

I've been trying to install Solum locally (first on Windows, then on Ubuntu) since about 3 weeks ago, with no success.

There have been four distinct attempts I've tried:

A. Installing m2 demo of Solum - installation seems succesful, but fails on the last step - ie. connecting via browser. VagrantBox's port 9001 is forwarded, the route is pingable, but both Firefox and Google Chrome respond with "Unable to connect". Just-in-case changing 192.168.78.0 to 192.168.76.0 didn't help.

Interestingly, inspecting the virtual machine with vagrant ssh shows that "solum is not a recognized command".

B. On Ubuntu - fatal error right by the start (no repository). I can't find a way to fix that line via any config files.

user@user:~/Inzynierka/solum/contrib/devstack$ sh setup_devstack.sh

C. Installing the development environment (from solum's readthedocs dot org - can't post link because of two-link limit for users with less than 10 reputation). Once again:

fatal: remote error: access denied or repository not exported: /stackforge/solum

D. Installing solum separately on devstack - I can install devstack with no problem, but I have no idea what to do after that. All the documentation says about it: (again from solum's readthedocs dot org - two-link limit)

 TODO add docs here on how to install on different distros like:

     debian
     redhat
     suse
     ubuntu

Am I doing something wrong? At this point I'm starting to wonder if Solum has been discontinued or if it's not ready for use yet.

Have you tried using vagrant repo on Ubuntu? ( https://github.com/rackerlabs/vagrant-solum-dev ). This is the preferred approach.

For setting up Solum directly on Devstack, you will need to set up Solum specific files within Devstack. Recently I have submitted a patch to update the setup script ( https://review.openstack.org/#/c/230222/ )

If you still run into issues, find me on Solum's IRC channel and I will help you out.
