Eucalyptus Previous Releases

We know how much you love Eucalyptus 4.4, but we also recognize that sometimes a cloud is working well on an older version and upgrading can wait.

In this post we take a look at how you can use the new downloads.eucalyptus.cloud RPM repositories with older releases, and where you can find the related documentation.

Documentation for previous releases

The current documentation has release notes that cover previous versions. Other documentation is available for previous releases as follows:

The above guides are available in PDF format only.

Repositories for previous releases

If using a release earlier than 4.4, please keep in mind that these previous releases are no longer supported or maintained. RPMs are available for previous releases at these locations:

Eucalyptus 4.0:

http://downloads.eucalyptus.cloud/software/eucalyptus/4.0/rhel/6/x86_64/

Eucalyptus 4.1:

http://downloads.eucalyptus.cloud/software/eucalyptus/4.1/rhel/6/x86_64/

Eucalyptus 4.2:

http://downloads.eucalyptus.cloud/software/eucalyptus/4.2/rhel/6/x86_64/

Eucalyptus 4.3:

http://downloads.eucalyptus.cloud/software/eucalyptus/4.3/rhel/6/x86_64/
http://downloads.eucalyptus.cloud/software/eucalyptus/4.3/rhel/7/x86_64/

The 4.3 release can be installed on CentOS/RHEL 6 or 7, so pick the location appropriate for the distribution you are using.

Repository Configuration

You would configure YUM to use the above locations. Here’s an example of a 4.1 Eucalyptus YUM configuration, you’d put this in a /etc/yum.repos.d/eucalyptus.repo file:

[eucalyptus]
name=Eucalyptus 4.1
baseurl=http://downloads.eucalyptus.cloud/software/eucalyptus/4.1/rhel/6/x86_64/
gpgkey=https://downloads.eucalyptus.cloud/software/gpg/eucalyptus-release-key.pub
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1

The baseurl would be one of the locations listed above.

On the first use after configuration, you may be prompted to confirm the GPG key, which would look something like this:

warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 RSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID c1240596: NOKEY
Retrieving key from https://downloads.eucalyptus.cloud/software/gpg/eucalyptus-release-key.pub
Importing GPG key 0xC1240596:
 Userid: "Eucalyptus Systems, Inc. (release key) <security@eucalyptus.com>"
 From  : https://downloads.eucalyptus.cloud/software/gpg/eucalyptus-release-key.pub
Is this ok [y/N]: y

Accept the key and you’re good to go!

Conclusion

We hope this helps keep your Eucalyptus clouds running, but please consider using the latest software and documentation from https://eucalyptus.cloud/
