[Fiware-tech-help] Setting up own FIWARE portal

[Marko Kuder]

Dear Sir/Madam,

My name is Marko Kuder and I am working for XLAB, one of the partners at 
the FINESCE project, the smart energy use case of the FI-PPP. We have 
been considering whether we could set up our own FIWARE infrastructure, 
not in the sense of a node federated to the public FIWARE portal (we do 
not have such a large infrastructure) but a separate portal where we 
could have more control over what is happening with our cloud services 
(for production environments). From our tests with the public platform 
we found that we were quite limited with the specified quotas and that 
we frequently ran into errors while trying to set up new instances. Is a 
separate FIWARE platform possible?

We found FIWARE Ops and the IT Toolbox, but we haven't been able to find 
any documentation on a full procedure to turn an IT Toolbox-built node 
into a FIWARE-like environment, with identity management, store etc. Is 
this possible (maybe even out of IT Toolbox?) or are we limited to 
running virtual images of GEs on a standard OpenStack installation and 
figuring out by ourselves how to connect them?

Best Regards,
Marko Kuder
