Objective
Learn how to set up a machine on Rackspace to deploy a SOAJS cloud on it.
Steps
- Create an account on Rackspace
- Create a machine
- Specify which image to use and which flavor
- Save the provided password
- Connect to the Machine using the saved password
- Download the pre-requisites, the installer & run the Installer pre script on the machine
- Copy the Kubernetes Token
Step 1: Create an account on Rackspace
- Begin by Creating a Rackspace account → Click Here.
- Follow the steps of Rackspace wizard
Step 2: Create a machine
- Click on Servers → Create Resources → Cloud servers
- Specify the machine image type, OS and version: Linux - Ubuntu - 16.04 LTS(Xenial Xerus)
- Specify the flavor: 7.5 GB Compute v1
- Click Create Server
- Save the password to use it for establishing the connection
- Wait till the server gets ready
- Use the ssh to log into your server

Step 3: Connect to the Machine on your Local Machine
| Code Block | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||||||
# connect to the machine using the IP address and the saved password
> ssh root@machine-Ip-address |
Step 4: Download the pre-requisites, the installer & run the Installer pre script on Rackspace Machine
Once you SSH to the machine, you can download and run the installer pre installation script to get all the dependencies so that cloud deployment works.
Prepare the machine
| Code Block | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||||||
# download update apt-get, npm and zip
> sudo su
> apt-get update && apt-get -y upgrade
> apt-get install npm
# download the latest version of nodejs
> curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | bash && apt-get install -y nodejs |
| Code Block | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||||
# download installer
> mkdir -p /opt/soajs/node_modules
> cd /opt/soajs/node_modules
> sudo npm install soajs.installer
# run installer pre script
> cd soajs.installer/scripts/pre
> sudo /opt/soajs/node_modules/soajs.installer/scripts/pre/kubernetes-linux.sh <%YOUR_CUSTOM_DOMAIN%>
# By default, your cluster will not schedule pods on the master for security reasons.
# If you want to be able to schedule pods on the master, e.g. for a single-machine Kubernetes cluster for development, run
> kubectl taint nodes --all node-role.kubernetes.io/master:NoSchedule- |
Grab the kubernetes Secret
Grab the kubernetes secret token by running the below command
| Code Block | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||||
# get kubernetes secrets
> kubectl describe secrets
# output
