Launch an instance on the provider network

[Maik]

Hello everyone, I am currently using OpenStack 2023.1 (Antelope) on my test environment. I followed the instructions for install and am now having problems creating the instances.
I am currently at the following step in the OpenStack instructions.

"Lauch the Instance | Step one"
https://docs.openstack.org/install-guide/launch-instance-provider.html

When executing the following command i get the error:

openstack server create --flavor m1.nano --image cirros --security-group default --key-name mykey provider-instance
Unexpected API Error. Please report this at http://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/ and attach the Nova API log if possible.
<class 'keystoneauth1.exceptions.discovery.DiscoveryFailure'> (HTTP 500) (Request-ID: req-bf2ce0c5-c363-460e-870d-92a47bce7888)

I use Network Example 1 and i only have one Network therefore the --nic is not needed.

Output nova-api.log:

I cant use KVM therefore i use QEMU.

If someone could help me, that would be really great.
I am new to the OpenStack cosmos.

Hi Maik,

This problem seems to be not Nova related, rather some configuration issue. The error message [1] you added indicates that Keystone (Identity service) is not reachable (should be done based on this description [2]).
This is probably due to - as far as I can see - Keystone is missing from the installation guide [3].

I'll reroute this bug towards OpenStack Manual and propose a fix there.
