NStack is platform-agnostic and can run out-of-the-box wherever you can run a virtual machine, including:
- your cloud provider of choice
- your internal cloud
- locally using VirtualBox, VMWare, or your operating system's native virtualisation
For Proof of Concepts, NStack offers a hosted solution. If this is required, please reach out to info@nstack.com.
The virtual appliance can be found on the NStack's GitHub Releases page, where it is provided as a raw image. We also provide an AWS AMI, which can be found under the id of ami-53a47245. Basic install instructions can be found on our [GitHub page](www.github.com/nstack/nstack).
To launch this AMI to an EC2 instance on your AWS account, you can click here.
The NStack Server is configured using cloud-init, which is supported by major cloud providers, so it will work out of the box with your credentials. Please note that the first time you boot NStack it may take a few minutes to initialise.
The NStack Server can be updated atomically using rpm-ostree. To upgrade to a new release, you can simply run:
> sudo rpm-ostree upgradeFollowing the upgrade, you should reboot your machine with:
> sudo rebootNStack releases follow a monthly cadence.
