Before you start with bootstrapping the OpenStack-based management cluster, complete the following prerequisite steps:
Verify that your planned cloud meets the reference hardware bill of material and software requirements as described in Reference Architecture: Requirements for an OpenStack-based Mirantis Container Cloud.
Log in to any personal computer or VM running Ubuntu 18.04 that you will be using as the bootstrap node.
Install Docker version 18.09:
sudo apt install docker.io
Grant your USER access to the Docker daemon:
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
Log off and log in again to the bootstrap node to apply the changes.
Verify that Docker is configured correctly and has access to Container Cloud CDN. For example:
docker run --rm alpine sh -c "apk add --no-cache curl; \
curl https://binary.mirantis.com"
The system output must contain no error records. In case of issues, follow the steps provided in Troubleshooting.
Proceed to Bootstrap a management cluster.
