Please release 4.16/4.17 Docker images to the official Docker Hub account!

[synergiator]

So far, there are working builds for 4.16.1/4.17-SNAPSHOT Docker images of the cloud stack simulator.

It would be great to make them available in the official Docker Hub account!

In the meantime, build for 4.16.0/4.16.1 has been shared by one of the team members: https://hub.docker.com/r/ustcweizhou/cloudstack-simulator/tags

Thanks makes sense, we'll need to figure out how to do this and if this requires access from ASF. (we've never needed this as nobody has asked/required this and it would add an overhead to maintain/test/build/publish them) Maybe worth starting a thread on dev@ ML to build support @synergiator?

Hi Rohit, indeed I discussed this on the ML last year. I think an easy-access up to date cloudstack simulator could attract more newcomers to the community, but that's just a hypothesis. Good enough there is an online demo, as well.

Is it like microstack?

@xlmnxp I think mbx is the tool similar as microstack https://github.com/shapeblue/mbx You can use it to deploy cloudstack mgmt server and different hypervisors in a server.

I tried the above docker image but it still requires an external NFS server, it seems. So when I get to the step of adding primary and secondary storage I do not have the root pwd or an NFS mount to point to to continue to be able to test uploading an iso and launching an instance of it. A docker run script with port mappings (e.g. 5050) and persistence directory mapping parms would also be helpful to have.

@weizhouapache did you explore something to this end, may be we can add a Github action to automate this? (to push for main branch and every 4.xx release/tag?)
