[Fiware-lab-help] FIWARE Lab questions

[Sándor Laki]

Hi José,

We have just checked that you are using a standard ubuntu image, not a 
FIWARE-BASE-IMAGE. In this case, you should use the username ubuntu, 
with your key. The ubuntu user has sudo rights, so after that you can do 
anything you want...

Sorry for that I forgot to mention it.

Best,
Sandor

>> Dear José,
>>
>> My answers to your questions:
>> 1. This is not a normal behaviour. Could you please send me which

>> authentication as well.
>> 3. I assume that in the base images it is not the case. They only

>> blueprint template by choosing the region, base os, and the softwares 
>> to be installed. After that you can deploy it, resulting in a new 
>> instance with all the required softwares. Note that this 
>> instantiation generally takes much more time than a simple image 
>> deployment.
>> 4. See 3.
>> 5. If apache, php and mysql are also installed, I expect that the 
>> answer is yes. If not, you can install it manually within the vm, 
>> using aptitude or apt-get in ubuntu.
>> 6. Free space is assigned to each vm, but it is not shown in the 
>> portal. However, if the space is not enough, you can create 
>> additional volumes in the portal, an assign them to the vm instance. 
>> After that a new disk appears in the vm (e.g. /dev/vdb), that can be 
>> formatted and then mounted similarly to a real physical disk.
>>
>> I also advise you to check the videos on instances and blueprints at

>>> 3 -  Is php already installed in the Ubuntu server v14 instance?
>>> 4 - With the ubuntu instance. Will we be able to create a blueprint 
>>> template for Mysql?
>>> 5 - Is there an option for phpmyadmin interface for database (MySql) 
>>> administration? If not, what is the interface for the database 
>>> administration?
>>>
>>> 6 - I assume that it will not be a problem. But just to clarify. 
>>> Will the CRONTAB program be accessible via terminal for the ubuntu 
>>> template?
>>> 7 - When creating an instance. I noticed that we never have Disk 
>>> space available (NaN GB available). Is there an option where we can 
>>> allocate disk space for our account?
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> Thank you very much for your attention.
