[Install OpenStack in charm-deployment-guide] juju deploy commands require --base

[Brandon Castillo]

This bug tracker is for errors with the documentation, use the following as a template and remove or add fields as you see fit. Convert [ ] into [x] to check boxes:

- [x] This doc is inaccurate in this way: Does not deploy juju charms
- [ ] This is a doc addition request.
- [x] I have a fix to the document that I can paste below including example: input and output.

While following the guide I found that it was necessary to include --base ubuntu@22.04 or else the charm could not be found.

# In guide
juju deploy --to lxd:4 --channel 2023.2/stable --config ncc.yaml nova-cloud-controller

# Fix
juju deploy --to lxd:4 --channel 2023.2/stable --base ubuntu@22.04 --config ncc.yaml nova-cloud-controller

Here's an example of the error: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/GdgmBVmkMM/

Hi Brandon

Thanks for your bug report. I'd be curious what your base/series in your model defaults is, as it ought not to be necessary to specify the base if the model default is 22.04 (jammy series).

[Brandon Castillo (bran-castillo)]

Hi Alex

I do have the default series set to jammy.

juju model-config default-series
jammy

I also realized the following information from snap list may be useful.

Hi

For completeness this is the info (from Juju for the charm) on channel 2023.2/stable:

juju info nova-cloud-controller --channel 2023.2/stable

summary: OpenStack Compute - Nova cloud controller service
description: |
  OpenStack is a reliable cloud infrastructure. Its mission is to produce
  the ubiquitous cloud computing platform that will meet the needs of public
  and private cloud providers regardless of size, by being simple to implement
  and massively scalable.
  .
  OpenStack Compute, codenamed Nova, is a cloud computing fabric controller. In
  addition to its "native" API (the OpenStack API), it also supports the Amazon
  EC2 API.

So it should have worked in your scenario. I'm going to add Juju to the bug and mark the charm part as invalid.
