Ubuntu Precise template creation

2016-02-16T14:40:56Z

Ilya Evseev: Disabled services added/fixed.

* Based on [[Ubuntu_Trusty_template_creation]].
* HN: Debian 7 (Wheezy).
* Templates: Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) and 14.04 (Trusty Tahr).

== Setup variables ==

Common part:
ARCH="i386"
export COUNTRY="de"

For 12.04 (Precise Pangolin):
export DIST="precise"
export NAME="ubuntu1204"
TMPL="12.04-x86"

For 14.04 (Trusty Tahr):
export DIST="trusty"
export NAME="ubuntu1404"
TMPL="14.04-x86"

Note: replace "i386" and "x86" to "amd64", if you want to get 64-bit environment.

== Prepare directory ==

apt-get -y install debootstrap
cd /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts && ln -s gutsy trusty && cd -
debootstrap --arch $ARCH $DIST /var/lib/vz/template/$NAME-$ARCH http://$COUNTRY.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
chroot /var/lib/vz/template/$NAME-$ARCH

Note: Debootstrap can miss Trusty profile (as in Debian Wheezy), so you should create it manually as seen above.

== Steps in chroot ==

Configure locales:
locale-gen ru_RU.UTF-8
locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
echo 'LANG="en_US.UTF-8"' > /etc/default/locale

Configure packages:
echo "
deb http://$COUNTRY.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu $DIST main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://$COUNTRY.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu $DIST-updates main restricted universe multiverse

dpkg --purge ubuntu-minimal isc-dhcp-client isc-dhcp-common ntpdate resolvconf
:
apt-get update
apt-get -y dist-upgrade

Configure mail system (consider 192.0.2.2 is IP of venet0 on HN, or put here your own SMTP relay if needed):
mkdir /etc/dma
echo $NAME > /etc/mailname
echo '
# dma-0.0.2010.xx syntax

DBOUNCEPROG dbounce-simple-safecat
MAILNAMEFILE /etc/mailname
' > /etc/dma/dma.conf
:
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y install --no-install-recommends dma bsd-mailx safecat

'''14.04 note:''' config syntax for dma-0.9 was changed:
echo '
# dma-0.9 syntax
SMARTHOST 192.0.2.2
MAILNAME /etc/mailname
' > /etc/dma/dma.conf

Disable hardware-related configs:
Disable() {

Cleanup and leave chroot:
apt-get clean
find /var/cache/apt /var/lib/apt/lists -type f -delete
exit

== Create template archive ==

rm -f /var/lib/vz/template/cache/ubuntu-$TMPL.tar.gz &&
tar czf /var/lib/vz/template/cache/ubuntu-$TMPL.tar.gz --numeric-owner -C /var/lib/vz/template/$NAME-$ARCH .

== How to create CT from template ==

ID=123
vzctl create $ID --ostemplate ubuntu-$TMPL --hostname … --name … --layout simfs
vzctl set $ID --save --onboot yes --nameserver 192.0.2.2 --ipadd 192.0.2.$ID

== First steps after creation ==

Start and enter:
vzctl start $ID
vzctl enter $ID

Install updates:
apt-get update
apt-get -y dist-upgrade

Ubuntu Precise template creation

2014-07-22T15:35:00Z

Ilya Evseev: "First steps after creation" section added.

* Based on [[Ubuntu_Trusty_template_creation]].
* HN: Debian 7 (Wheezy).
* Templates: Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) and 14.04 (Trusty Tahr).

== Setup variables ==

Common part:
ARCH="i386"
export COUNTRY="de"

For 12.04 (Precise Pangolin):
export DIST="precise"
export NAME="ubuntu1204"
TMPL="12.04-x86"

For 14.04 (Trusty Tahr):
export DIST="trusty"
export NAME="ubuntu1404"
TMPL="14.04-x86"

== Prepare directory ==

apt-get -y install debootstrap
cd /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts && ln -s gutsy trusty && cd -
debootstrap --arch $ARCH $DIST /var/lib/vz/template/$NAME http://$COUNTRY.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
chroot /var/lib/vz/template/$NAME

Note: Debootstrap can miss Trusty profile (as in Debian Wheezy), so you should create it manually as seen above.

Debootstrap can miss Trusty profile (as in Debian Wheezy), so create it manually (and adopt DIST,NAME,TMPL):
...
export DIST="trusty"

TMPL="14.04-x86"
...
apt-get install -y debootstrap
cd /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts && ln -s gutsy trusty
debootstrap ...
