!!! Computerhok 2013
[{TableOfContents }]
!! Intro
The old computerhok is running for almost 5 years now (Ubuntu 8.04, both hypervisor and guests), time for something new.
!! Functions to be ported from old to new
* Gallery
* JSPWiki, including apache frontend
* home for geocaching ''hof'' images
* nagios (on a separate guest or on hypervisor?)
* fail2ban like solution (see current {{~~/bin/cron/blockHost.sh}})
* backuphost for krm2DB
* a backup hardware node on remote location, and __easy__ backup
* dhfds
* [http://www.esthercreations.nl] can retire
* webmin still necessary ?
* mail server (not open relay!, see /etc/postfix/main.cf)
* [uptime script|http://www.computerhok.nl/cgi-bin/user/uptime.cgi]
* OpenVZ logo should go from homepage
!! VirtualBox
We will no longer use OpenVZ, it is too restrictive in choice of guest OS'es.\\
We intend to use [VirtualBox|VirtualBox-4.1] as hypervisor, and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS as both host and guest OS.
!! Work in progress / install log
! Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
* Installed Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS from USB stick.
** LVM setup and 10GB root partitiion
** temporary wlan0 (wireless) as primary interface
** IP address 10.0.0.150
** only SSH server
** Locales: en_US.UTF-8 and nl_NL.UTF-8 (first one default)
! kernel recompile
* recompile kernel because of [DSDT issue|Installatie Ubuntu#KernelCompile]
! VirtualBox installation
* install packages
** add {{deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian precise contrib}}
** add the apt key : [sudo apt-key add oracle_vbox.asc|http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc]
** {{apt-get install virtualbox-4.2}}
* create test VM: \\
{{{root@apollo:~# VBoxManage createvm --name Ubuntu1 --ostype Linux --register
Virtual machine 'Ubuntu1' is created and registered.
UUID: 1ed5e417-1eca-4a60-b6d4-5c8f40e44019
Settings file: '/root/VirtualBox VMs/Ubuntu1/Ubuntu1.vbox'
root@apollo:~#
}}}
Deleted the kernel source again to free up some disk space:
{{{
root@apollo:~/src# du -cms linux-source-3.2.0/
5172 linux-source-3.2.0/
5172 total
root@apollo:~/src# df -h .

root@apollo:~/src# df -h .
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on

}}}
* modify attributes (more memory, VT off, network bridged instead of NAT:
{{{
VBoxManage modifyvm Ubuntu1 --memory=512 --hwvirtex=off --hwvirtexexcl=off --vtxvpid=off --boot1=dvd --boot2=disk --boot3=none --nic1=bridged --bridgeadapter1=wlan0 --nicpromisc1=allow-all --vrde=on --vrdeport=13389
}}}
* Add CD and disk:
{{{
VBoxManage storagectl Ubuntu1 --name='IDE Controller' --add=ide --controller=PIIX4 --bootable=on
VBoxManage storagectl Ubuntu1 --name='SATA Controller' --add=sata --controller=IntelAhci --bootable=on
}}}
* show me how you look now:
