Daniel15: Fixed and rewrote note at bottom

= Stable =

== Edit apt settings ==

add to your "/etc/apt/sources.list"

<pre>
deb http://debian.systs.org/ stable openvz
</pre>

== Packages at debian.systs.org ==

Debian Packages used for OpenVZ (i386):

kernel(s): Version 022stab078.14
<pre>
kernel-image-2.6.8-stable-ovz
kernel-image-2.6.8-stable-ovz-smp
kernel-image-2.6.8-stable-ovz-entnosplit
kernel-image-2.6.8-stable-ovz-enterprise
</pre>

tool(s):
<pre>
vzctl
vzquota
</pre>

template(s):
<pre>
vzctl-template-debian
</pre>

== Installing the utilities and kernels ==

example:

$ '''aptitude install kernel-image-2.6.8-stable-ovz vzctl vzquota vzctl-template-debian'''

After rebooting, you will have a OpenVZ'ed Debian Sarge System.

Thats all :-)

=Unstable=

OpenVZ is now a part of Debian Sid (a.k.a. "unstable") repository. This article describes how to install OpenVZ on a Debian Sid system.

== Installing the utilities and kernel patch ==

To install the OpenVZ kernel patch and utilities, run the following:
<pre>
apt-get update
apt-get install kernel-patch-openvz vzctl vzquota
</pre>

== Creating the kernel package ==

To create a kernel package, you need to download and unpack 2.6.16 “vanilla” kernel first:
<pre>
cd /usr/src/
wget http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.16.tar.bz2
tar xjf linux-2.6.16.tar.bz2
cd linux-2.6.16
</pre>

(Note that you do need a vanilla kernel for this, because the OpenVZ kernel patch doesn't apply cleanly to the Debian linux-source-2.6.16 package; see [http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=377707 Debian bug #377707].)

Next, get the proper kernel config from [http://download.openvz.org/kernel/devel/026test015.1/configs/ download.openvz.org]. Below is the example of using smp config for i686:

<pre>
wget http://download.openvz.org/kernel/devel/026test015.1/configs/kernel-2.6.16-026test015-i686-smp.config.ovz
mv kernel-2.6.16-026test015-i686-smp.config.ovz .config
</pre>

{{Note|This example uses a config file for the 026test015 kernel patch. If the kernel-patch-openvz package you installed is a different version, download a config file that corresponds with your version}}

Now you can apply openvz kernel patch and compile the kernel:

<pre>
make-kpkg --added_patches openvz
</pre>

mv kernel-2.6.16-026test015-i686-smp.config.ovz .config
</pre>

{{Note|example shows getting the config for 026test015 kernel. If you have a different kernel (kernel-patch-openvz), choose the corresponding config.}

Now you can apply openvz kernel patch and compile the kernel:

<pre>
make-kpkg --added_patches openvz
