Besides the public Marketplaces (leveraging various remote public repositories with existing Appliances and accessible universally by all OpenNebula instances), the private ones allow the cloud administrators to create the Private Marketplaces within an single organization in a specific OpenNebula (single Zone) or shared by a Federation (collection of Zones). Private Marketplaces provide their users with an easy way of privately publishing, downloading, and sharing their own custom Appliances.

HTTP Marketplace

Mon, 17 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Overview

This Marketplace uses a conventional HTTP server to expose the images (Marketplace Appliances) uploaded to the Marketplace. The image will be placed in a specific directory (available on or at least accessible from the Front-end), that must be also served by a dedicated HTTP service.

This is a fully supported Marketplace with all the implemented features.

Requirements

The web server should be deployed either in the Front-end or on a node reachable by the Front-end. A directory that will be used to store the uploaded images (Marketplace Apps) should be configured to have the necessary space available and the web server must be configured to grant HTTP access to that directory.

S3 Marketplace

Mon, 17 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Overview

This Marketplace uses an S3 API-capable service as the backend. This means Marketplace Appliances will be stored in the official AWS S3 service , or in services that implement that API, like Ceph Object Gateway S3.

Limitations

Since the S3 API does not provide a value for available space, this space is hard-coded into the driver file, limiting it to 1TB. See below to learn how to change the default value.
