[Starlingx-discuss] [MultiOS] How to deploy STX in other linux systems?

[Xie, Cindy]

I don't think you can do so - StarlingX flocks services needs a lot of configurations before it can be started, so just install flocks DEB files built out by ourselves cannot work. A demo is possible by using Devstack to launch those services. I believe to make StarlingX fully functional is a project deserves more planning and digesting still. This is a good PTG topics and please have Shuquan to raise it in TSC as well.

Thx. - cindy

Hi Cindy, Victor,

I am very glad to receive your replies. We have the requirements to deploy STX in other linux systems. For this work, I think deployment on Ubuntu is the best start to understand the flow of starlingx installation. I hope I can do something for multi-os and I am trying to follow in your footsteps.

Otherwise, I find your goal is to build DEB files and finally create an iso. If a clear ubuntu system have been installed in server, how can I to deploy starlingx for test or development? Is it right to install these DEB file by hand? 

Thanks
Kunpeng
