conjure-up openstack launch instance no console & ssh

Question

after conjure-up openstack installed, create instance with default 2 images (trusty-lxd & xenial-lxd), but the instance console said "console is currently unavailable. Please try again later.", and tried ssh to ubuntu@10.99.0.14 return "ssh: connect to host 10.99.0.14 port 22: No route to host"

ub14 trusty-lxd 10.99.0.15 m1.small - Active nova None Running 30 minutes
ub16test xenial-lxd 10.99.0.14 m1.medium - Active nova None Running 34 minutes

log end with following message: -----END SSH HOST KEY KEYS----- [35802.789041] cloud-init[330]: Cloud-init v. 0.7.9 running 'modules:final' at Sat, 04 Mar 2017 00:04:04 +0000. Up 430.0 seconds.

Answer 1

Lets start from this situation, assign a floating IP

on the machine where you've installed Openstack via conjure check the status of juju environment

$: juju status

look for the container dedicated to nova-compute,

in my case the machine is 13 and its own IP addr. is 10.0.8.85

nova-compute/0*           active    idle       13       10.0.8.85                       Unit is ready

now you need to list the containers created with lxc

$: lxc list

locate the name used from lxc for that IP (10.0.8.85). Now run:

$: lxc exec juju-d30ce2-13 bash
root@juju-d30ce2-13:~# 

from there run

$: lxc list

there you find yours instances created via Openstack, again

$: lxc exec instance-00000005 -- bash

and as last step is edit the ssh_config file

$: nano /etc/ssh/ssh_config

and uncomment the following lines as reports the picture

reload the instance

now you can do the ssh connection

$: ssh root@10.99.0.7
The authenticity of host '10.99.0.7 (10.99.0.7)' can't be established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:BGh/0LipzF3IgfaHwwKl2gl45uy9h3ctS5w/h469Om4.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes

thats it.

LXD containers don't have console devices. List container names:

lxc list

Then connect to one:

lxc exec <container_name> bash
