Hi all,

Will the installation of openvz on ubuntu server work? Should I consult the wiki installation on debian? If so, could someone point me in the right direction as what kernel and so on to install?

I'm really looking forward to this.

And I'm looking for people who have succeeded on their installation of openvz on ubuntu, and how they did it, they should write a wiki!

Thanks

Hello,

I don't use Ubuntu, but it is rather simple to install OpenVZ on any distribution I've used. So, I guess, there will be no problem with Ubuntu too.

The way I use is installing everything from sources:

1) Choose the kernel you want to use: stable (based on 2.6.9) or test (based on 2.6.18). 2.6.18-based kernel is rather stable however, so don't be afraid to use it Smile

. Further in this small manual I suppose, that you choosed 2.6.18-based kernel
2) Download vanilla 2.6.18 kernel from kernel.org
3) Download recent OpenVZ patch against 2.6.18
4) Download OpenVZ config file, that fits you (smp/up, x86_64/i386, etc.)
5) Extract 2.6.18 kernel, patch it with OpenVZ patch and copy config file you downloaded in kernel directory. Name this file .config
6) Compile kernel by make command
7) Install kernel by make install command
\8) Modify grub.conf file in order to boot in OpenVZ kernel
9) Reboot in OpenVZ kernel
10) Download vzctl sources
11) Compile and install it by ./configure --prefix=/ , make and make install
12) Download precreated template and copy it to /vz/template/cache

After that you will be able to create VE:
vzctl create 101 --ostemplate <template-name>
and start it:
vzctl start 101

HTH,
Vasily.
