virtual machine prototype

To start I use VBoxManage startvm vmnamehere

I have the base os installed
  installed ssh server
  now working on authentication...
       looking at aptitude log to find packages...
           ldap-auth-client
           ldap-auth-config
           auth-client-config
           libnss-ldap
           libpam-ldap
           nscd
           [INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] libgssrpc4:amd64
[INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] libkadm5clnt-mit9:amd64
[INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] libkadm5srv-mit9:amd64
[INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] libkdb5-7:amd64
[INSTALL] krb5-config:amd64
[INSTALL] krb5-user:amd64
[INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] libxcrypt1:amd64
[INSTALL] libpam-krb5:amd64
[INSTALL] libpam-unix2:amd64






skipping the install config, I am going to copy the config files that are working
   ldap.conf
   krb5.conf
   nsswitch.conf

stopped/started nscd and the authentication piece looks ok

now test a few more things, and then the prototype should be ok
  need to set up fstab...

I think I'm mostly done.  Time to start working on www
  shutting down the prototype
  cloning
  changing the ip address to 44 for now
  changing the mac address
  migrating



Moving to command line mode

Installing apache2
now mediawiki
   .. for some reason it wants a running postgresql
   .. now to find the config stuff
  

virtual machines

I'm going to try using virtual machines for most of the boxes, so I'm setting a prototype first.

TODO:
   request bios passwords
   set intel vt for direct io on
   enable remote wake up

1. Set the network device to bridged so I can statically assign ip
2. Upgrade packages
2a. I'm not confident the upgrade was fully effective, so I'm going to start over on the virtual image
3. Setting up the authentication via libpam/libnss

Setting up the file server
This will be a physical only machine
Need to migrate a disk over for additional space
Will set up another machine is capable as taking over, in the mean time though it will run a virtual machine(s) to support other things.

1. updating
2. changing to text boot
3. adding ssh
4. adding btrfs
5. changing /home to btrfs

update:
The file server is setup and operational
