Automated Front-end Installation with miniONE for Production

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Automatic installation of an OpenNebula Front-end can be achieved using the miniONE rapid installation script. The miniONE installation script automatically configures the target server to deploy OpenNebula with the essential modules to run a cloud. After installing OpenNebula with miniONE, you will be able to deploy Virtual Machines, provision Clusters with on-premises or cloud resources and manage your cloud using the command line, the API or the Sunstone user interface.

Automated Cluster Installation with OneForm

OneForm is OpenNebula’s automated cloud provisioning tool. It serves as an automated “cloud-on-demand” engine, allowing you to provision resources on-premises, or bare-metal instances from public cloud providers through a simple, streamlined workflow. You can provision Clusters through an OpenNebula Front-end through the the Sunstone user interface, the OneForm CLI, or the OneForm REST API.

Before Starting

In order to use OneForm, you must first install an OpenNebula Front-end using one of the available deployment options, refer to the Front-end Installation Documentation for details.
