[Fiware-lab-help] I need some help and advice.

[Sándor Laki]

Dear Leonid,

Have you set the security groups correctly? By default all the TCP and 
UDP ports are closed, so you have to add the proper ports to the 
security group used by your instance.
Basically, you can deploy a Kurento instance in two ways: 1. by using 
blueprint templates (adding kurento to the tier is enough), 2. by 
launching the pre-prepared kurento image available in all the regions. 
The 2. option is faster and should work in most of the regions, with 
blueprint templates we have experienced some issues that are currently 
under investigation.
The Spain region is overloaded and they have run out of public IP 
addresses. This will be solved soon, but currently you should try 
another region. If you experience some problems e.g. you cannot ssh to 
the VM or kurento is not available, or provides bad performance, please 
send the issue with the name of the used REGION to this mailing list, so 
that the operators of the region could solve the problem.

My answers to your further questions:
1. Do I understood right, that all additional software (kurent, MySQL, 
apache etc.) I have to install through Blueprint Instance creation 
interface. Or It is possible to install just Ubuntu for example and then 
all services I need?
In blueprint templates you can put together a software stack you need 
for your app. If you choose kurento, all the dependencies will be 
installed automatically. An empty blueprint contains the base OS 
basically. After deployment, you cannot modify the instance. (you can of 
course remove it and redeploy the modified blueprint...)

2. Keypairs are the only way to connect to the server?
Basically, yes, they are. However, after loging in to the server, you 
will have root access, so you can reconfigure the os as you need.
Important, that each region manages the keypairs separately... To access 
the vm via ssh, you should add port 22 to the security group assigned to 
your vm.

3. Is it possible to get future technical support from FIWARE-Lab?
Yes, you can write to this mailing list or to directly the GE owners 
available in the FIWARE catalogue.

Please let me know if the problem is still there and you cannot access 
your instance in Spain2 and Stockholm.

Best,
Sandor
