Installation on Debian
From Linux-VServer
Revision as of 14:36, 10 December 2006 by 82.207.47.1 (Talk)
This guide is written against Debian Etch (4.0). This release includes kernel linux-image-vserver-686, so no manual patching is needed. The consequence is pretty easy and satrightforward.
Packages installation
All the packages you need can be obtained via
apt-get install linux-image-vserver-686 util-vserver vserver-debiantools ssh
so run this as root and reboot. To check out wherever everything went fine you may run
uname -r
and check that kernel version is something like 2.6.17-2-vserver-686. That's it. Now let's create a virtual machine.
Virtual machine creation
newvserver --vsroot /var/lib/vservers/ --hostname sample --domain example.com --ip 10.1.1.1/8 --dist etch --mirror http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ --interface eth1
Check vserver --help for more info on this.
Virtual machine operation
To start VM just created, run
vserver sample start
To get into it, type
vserver sample enter
Again, study man for more information.
