Sil53r: /* Installing the utilities and kernel patch */

= Stable =

== Edit apt settings ==

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

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

and get the new package lists

<pre>
# apt-get update
</pre>

== Packages at debian.systs.org (dso) ==

precreated OpenVZ Debian Packages:

kernel(s) for i368 and amd64
<pre>
ovzkernel-2.6.9
ovzkernel-2.6.9-smp

ovzkernel-2.6.16
ovzkernel-2.6.16-smp

ovzkernel-2.6.18
ovzkernel-2.6.18-smp
</pre>

i386 only:
<pre>
ovzkernel-2.6.18-enterprise
</pre>

OpenVZ tool(s) for i386 and amd64
<pre>
vzctl
vzquota
vzprocps
</pre>

template(s) for i368 and amd64 : Debian 3.1 Minimal
<pre>
vzctl-ostmpl-debian
</pre>

== Installing the kernels and OpenVZ toolset ==

Example: install the stable OpenVZ kernel, tools and debian OS Template

# aptitude install ovzkernel-2.6.9 vzctl vzquota vzctl-ostmpl-debian

Maybe you need to update you "linux-loader" like lilo or grub:

for the "GRUB":
# /sbin/grub-update

Reboot in your new Debian Stable OpenVZ System

# reboot

That's all :-)

=Etch (testing)=

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

== Installing the utilities and kernel patch ==

To install the kernel-source, OpenVZ kernel patch and utilities, run the following:
<pre>
apt-get update
apt-get install kernel-package linux-source-2.6.18 kernel-patch-openvz vzctl vzquota
</pre>

== Creating the kernel package ==

First you need to unpack the kernel:

<pre>
cd /usr/src
tar xjf linux-source-2.6.18.tar.bz2
cd linux-source-2.6.18
</pre>

Next, you need to get a kernel config. You can use the config of the debian-kernel:

<pre>
cp /boot/config-2.6.18-3-686 .config
</pre>

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

<pre>
make-kpkg --append_to_version=-1-openvz --added_patches=openvz --revision=1 kernel_image
</pre>

You will have to answer some config-questions.

== Install the kernel package ==

Install the kernel and update initramfs:

<pre>
cd ..
dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.18-1-openvz_1_i386.deb
update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.18-1-openvz
update-grub
</pre>

Just reboot into your new openvz-kernel.
