Appliances​

If you have an appliance that belongs to the 6G-SANDBOX Marketplace, you need to add attributes to its images.

If the appliance is an image type

  1. Access the OpenNebula frontend.
  2. Create a file without an extension with the following content:
ONE_6GSB_MARKETPLACE_APPLIANCE_NAME="<appliance_name>"
ONE_6GSB_MARKETPLACE_APPLIANCE_VERSION="<XXXXXXXX-XXXX>"
ONE_6GSB_MARKETPLACE_APPLIANCE_SOFTWARE_VERSION="<vX.X.X>"

The field values can be obtained either from the marketplace or by using the following curl command:

curl https://marketplace.mobilesandbox.cloud:9443/appliance/<name> -H "Accept: application/json"

For example, for the ELCM appliance, the command would be:

curl https://marketplace.mobilesandbox.cloud:9443/appliance/service_ELCM -H "Accept: application/json"

After executing the curl command, you will receive a JSON response with the following information:

{
    "_id":{"$oid":"service_ELCM"},
    "links":{"download":{"href":"https://marketplace.mobilesandbox.cloud:9443/appliance/service_ELCM/download"}},
    "name":"ELCM",
    "version":"v3.7.1-20250303-1420",
    "publisher":"University of Malaga",
    ...
}

Next, the values you need to add to the file are:

  • <appliance_name> is the value of the name field from the curl response (e.g., ELCM has name ELCM).
  • <XXXXXXXX-XXXX> is the second part of the version field. The version field follows the format vX.X.X-YYYYMMDD-HHMM and you should add the second part (e.g., ELCM has version v3.7.1-20250303-1420, so you should add 20250303-1420).
  • <vX.X.X> is the first part of the version field. The version field follows the format vX.X.X-YYYYMMDD-HHMM and you should add the first part (e.g., ELCM has version v3.7.1-20250303-1420, so you should add v3.7.1).

So the file for the ELCM appliance would look like this:

ONE_6GSB_MARKETPLACE_APPLIANCE_NAME="ELCM"
ONE_6GSB_MARKETPLACE_APPLIANCE_VERSION="20250303-1420"
ONE_6GSB_MARKETPLACE_APPLIANCE_SOFTWARE_VERSION="v3.7.1"
  1. Execute the following command to add the attributes to an image:
oneimage update <image_id> --append <path_to_file>

Where:

  • <image_id> is the ID of the image in OpenNebula to which you want to add the attributes.
  • <path_to_file> is the path to the file you created in step 2.

For the ELCM appliance, the command would be:

oneimage update <image_elcm_id> --append <path_to_file>

If the appliance is a service type

This applies to appliances such as 6G-Sandbox Toolkit or oneKE. The steps are as follows:

  1. Access the OpenNebula frontend.
  2. Create a file without an extension with the following content:
ONE_6GSB_MARKETPLACE_APPLIANCE_NAME="<appliance_name>"
ONE_6GSB_MARKETPLACE_APPLIANCE_VERSION="<XXXXXXXX-XXXX>"
ONE_6GSB_MARKETPLACE_APPLIANCE_SOFTWARE_VERSION="<vX.X.X>"

The field values can be obtained either from the marketplace or using curl. For example, for 6G-Sandbox Toolkit, the command would be:

curl https://marketplace.mobilesandbox.cloud:9443/appliance/service_toolkit -H "Accept: application/json"

After executing the curl command, you will receive a JSON response with the following information:

{
    "_id":{"$oid":"service_toolkit"},
    "links":{"download":{"href":"https://marketplace.mobilesandbox.cloud:9443/appliance/service_toolkit/download"}},
    "name":"6G-Sandbox Toolkit",
    "version":"v0.4.0-20250219-2235",
    "publisher":"Telefonica Innovacion Digital",
    ...
}

Next, the values you need to add to the file are:

  • <appliance_name> is the value of the name field from the curl response (e.g., 6G-Sandbox Toolkit has name 6G-Sandbox Toolkit).
  • <XXXXXXXX-XXXX> is the second part of the version field. The version field follows the format vX.X.X-YYYYMMDD-HHMM and you should add the second part (e.g., 6G-Sandbox Toolkit has version v0.4.0-20250219-2235, so you should add 20250219-2235).
  • <vX.X.X> is the first part of the version field. The version field follows the format vX.X.X-YYYYMMDD-HHMM and you should add the first part (e.g., 6G-Sandbox Toolkit has version v0.4.0-20250219-2235, so you should add v0.4.0).

So the file for the 6G-Sandbox Toolkit appliance would look like this:

ONE_6GSB_MARKETPLACE_APPLIANCE_NAME="6G-Sandbox Toolkit"
ONE_6GSB_MARKETPLACE_APPLIANCE_VERSION="20250219-2235"
ONE_6GSB_MARKETPLACE_APPLIANCE_SOFTWARE_VERSION="v0.4.0"
  1. Execute the following command to add the attributes. For each image in the service, execute the following command:
oneimage update <image_id> --append <path_to_file>

Where:

  • <image_id> is the ID of the image in OpenNebula to which you want to add the attributes.
  • <path_to_file> is the path to the file you created in step 2.

For the 6G-Sandbox Toolkit appliance, the command would be:

oneimage update <image_jenkins_id> --append <path_to_file>
oneimage update <image_tnlcm_id> --append <path_to_file>
oneimage update <image_minio_disk0_id> --append <path_to_file>
oneimage update <image_minio_disk1_id> --append <path_to_file>

Once the previous steps are completed, proceed with the update. The following appliances from 6G-SANDBOX Marketplace have been updated:

SoftwarePrevious VersionNew Version
6G-Sandbox Toolkitv0.4.0-20250219-2235v0.5.0-20250401-1657
ELCMv3.7.1-20250303-1420v3.7.1-20250331-1449

oneKEv1.291.31.3-6.10.0-2-20250220-0051

You can download or upgrade the appliances using the toolkit installer or doing it manually. If you want to do it manually, remember to add the attributes to the images as explained above and update the 6G-Sandbox-Sites repository.
