How-To Guide


About

Local Test Cloud is used to make Fedora Cloud images easier to test by automating installation on the local machine. See the home page for more information.

Installation

NOTE: This guide applies to Fedora 23 and later.

  1. Install 'testcloud' using dnf:
    dnf install testcloud
  2. Run 'testcloud' using the following syntax where <instance> is what you want to name the virtual cloud and <image> is a link to the image (qcow2 format only):
    testcloud instance create <instance> -u <url_to_qcow2_image>
      Note: If the image is a local file, use a file URL, for example:
       testcloud instance create test -u file:///home/test/image.qcow2 
  3. After the download is complete, the script will provide an IP where the virtual cloud image resides. To access the cloud install, enter the following and use "passw0rd" for the password:
    ssh fedora@aaa.bbb.xxx.yyy
