Community project from P.Industries
We contribute to the open Genestack repository. Not a Rackspace site — members of the community building the Console: bootstrap Talos, Kubernetes, and OpenStack, then operate them from the same hub.
Genestack, briefly
Genestack is an open-source OpenStack-on-Kubernetes stack. Helm, Kustomize, and
bin/install-*.sh put Keystone, Nova, Neutron, Glance, Cinder, Horizon
on Kubernetes. Upstream source and operator docs live with the public repo.
This site is the portal we are contributing so people can actually use
that stack without living in five CLIs.
The contribution
Get started is only half. The same portal that walks import → fabric → Deploy is the place you come back to: machines, Kubernetes, OpenStack. Bootstrap, then operate. That is the point. How you get the machines is yours — the Console does not assume one vendor.
Bring servers in the way you already get them: a provider API (OVH is one), PXE, or SSH. Native Terraform for AWS, Azure, GCP, Rackspace, and the rest is how we intend to pull and manage those accounts too — same portal, your keys. Guided setup then walks fabric → deploy: Talos where needed, Kubernetes, the Genestack pipeline. The metal stays yours.
One environment, three layers. Talos (versions, logs, services, upgrades), Kubernetes (nodes, workloads, kubeconfig), OpenStack (instances, images, volumes, consoles). Not Lens.
Day-2 jobs, GitHub deploys, verify, kubeconfig and talosconfig from the portal. The Guide tab until it is up; Platform after that.
Install
Stand up the fleet hub, then Guided setup. From a machine you control:
curl -fsSL https://get.genestack.dev/console.sh | bash
Open http://127.0.0.1:8080/ui (SSH tunnel if you are off-box).

Operator docs: docs.rackspacecloud.com — upstream, not us.
