These steps are needed in order to upgrade "Ubuntu 14.04 Server LTS" to an image suitable for SlipStream, with the following capabilities:

  1. Orchestrator VM
  2. VM for which "Add (extra) Volatile Disk" is supported.
# convenience, skip if want to user-interaction
$ export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive

$ aptitude update
$ aptitude -y upgrade
$ aptitude -y dist-upgrade

# This installs pip 1.5.4 which should be enough
$ aptitude -y install python-pip

# This is needed for the installation of kamaki
$ aptitude -y install python-dev

# Install kamaki, needed for Orchestrator
# In order to install an RC version, you have to explicitly specify it, as in:
#   $ pip install kamaki==0.13rc6
# Version 0.13rc6 is important for the upcoming (still unreleased on 2014-11-14)
# 0.16 version of Synnefo, so you probably need that.
$ pip install kamaki

# Prepare installation of snf-image-creator
$ apt-add-repository -y ppa:grnet/synnefo
$ aptitude update

# Install snf-image-creator
# Please answer Yes to “Create or update superadmin appliance now”
$ aptitude -y install snf-image-creator

# Sanity check
# It should normally finish with ===== TEST FINISHED OK =====
$ libguestfs-test-tool || update-guestfs-appliance

# Utilities. You can skip these.
$ aptitude -y install git
$ aptitude -y install openjdk-7-jdk
$ aptitude -y install ocaml opam
$ aptitude -y install atool htop

# ZSH goodies, again just for convenience
$ aptitude -y install zsh
$ chsh -s /bin/zsh
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/sorin-ionescu/prezto.git "${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zprezto"
$ ln -s "${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}"/.zprezto/runcoms/zlogin ~/.zlogin
$ ln -s "${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}"/.zprezto/runcoms/zlogout ~/.zlogout
$ ln -s "${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}"/.zprezto/runcoms/zpreztorc ~/.zpreztorc
$ ln -s "${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}"/.zprezto/runcoms/zprofile ~/.zprofile
$ ln -s "${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}"/.zprezto/runcoms/zshenv ~/.zshenv
$ ln -s "${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}"/.zprezto/runcoms/zshrc ~/.zshrc
$ echo "alias ll='ls -al --color'" >> ~/.zshrc
$ echo "alias psg='ps -ef | grep -i'" >> ~/.zshrc

Very important [as of 2014-10-15]

README already contains the details for the breaking change about kamaki. Since no version of kamaki installed via pip is going to work out of the box, we have to configure it manually. Our Ubuntu box already has certificates installed and we can directly feed them to kamaki. So consider the following as the last step in the above procedure:

$ kamaki config set ca_certs /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

Note

The above command changes ~/.kamakirc. Make sure, when creating the image, that this particular file is preserved inside the image.
