ok so, Ive gotten my ISO built finally and decided to move forward, it did actually install and run under kvm on fedora 28, alas it would not let me run
i hunted around and got the interface up on dhcp and logged in...
sudo config_controller as it requires 4 interfaces to start up
so hunted the wiki a bit and found this guide
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/StarlingX/Installation_Guide_Virtual_Environmentwhere it plainly states
Software Requirements
A workstation computer with:
Operating System: Freshly installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64-bit
Proxy settings configured (if applies)
Git
KVM/VirtManager
Libvirt Library
QEMU Full System Emulation Binaries
<stx-deployment> project
StarlingX ISO Image
Deployment Environment Setup
This section describes how to set up a StarlingX Controller Storage system in a workstation computer. After completing these steps, you will be able to deploy and run your StarlingX system on the following Linux distribution:
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64-bit
... Now <RANT> I have to ask Why.... Seriously? </RANT>
We dont all use Ubuntu... StarlingX isnt even based on Ubuntu.... and you actualy put more effort into making it ubuntu specific then was needed to allow for other hosts operating systems. Okay, any way to proceed i ran networking config, no worries, went to run
./setup_allinone.sh -i bootimage.iso
and sorry failed..... read the script... WTF ??
dont need this....

and ... TADA..... functionally working on Fedora 28 and actually installing at this moment..... so... seriously i have to ask....
when do you want to offer me a job..... because this shouldnt be happening..... anyway..... I find it awesome that you used CentOS for the platform, great choice...
but why would you force uus to use Ubuntu as the host... personally from an R&D perspective, We all know theres more then one decent desktop distribution. I would alone ask that some attention maybe be paid to making it more distro friendly, because i can almost guarantee I wount be the first one to go down this path.
Maybe im ranting a bit... but 5 days to get to this point on something you would like to be considered as a viable openstack platform.... Yes, i understand its development, its always in flux, though I fought to achieve just getting this far.... I am almost positive others wount be as patient, because we all know when a corporation delivers something new and shiny, users well... they just want it to work... and if it doesnt its going to potentially give the distro and the company behind it a black eye....
This is just my observations.... from a senior level management perspective of what Ive seen in the industry... if yyou want to be accepted, I belive you will maybe need more polishh... but so fgar great work, in sight of a few things maybe over looked.
