1. Fetch the archive fetch <latest-release-url>
2. Extract the archive tar -C /usr/src/release -xvf openstack.txz
3. Move the src folder (cd /usr/src); run also ldconfig for the first time in order to create the "library cache"
4. Build the userland and the kernel make buildworld buildkernel
5. Move to the release folder cd /usr/src/release

FreeBSD Versions

Tested on:

• FreeBSD 11.x
• FreeBSD 12.x
• (In progress) FreeBSD 13.0

Known Issues

• No logs available in Horizon (tested with rsyslog and syslog)
• No Python at default (add python to VM_EXTRA_PACKAGES in tools/openstack.conf), if you are planning to manage it with ansible do not forget to use ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/local/bin/python2.7 to your inventory.

Notes

• ZFS Module is present in the kernel, could be loaded using kldload zfs
