= Sarge-Dapper (OldStable) =
 +
The OpenVZ packages at http://debian.systs.org/ aimed to install OpenVZ in a easy way, some tasks are even completed during the install process!
  
OpenVZ consists of a kernel, user-level tools, and container templates.
+
== edit apt source settings ==
 +
Add to your "/etc/apt/sources.list"
  
This guide tells how to install the kernel and the tools on [http://www.debian.org Debian] Etch or Lenny/Squeeze.
+
<pre>
 +
deb http://debian.systs.org/debian sarge openvz
 +
</pre>
  
For Squeeze, use the Lenny directions.
+
and get the new package lists
  
For Wheezy (7.0), use the vzctl package included in wheezy, together with the Wheezy OpenVZ kernels from [http://download.openvz.org/debian/ http://download.openvz.org/debian/].  Alternatively reduced functionality may be possible using the stock Debian Wheezy kernel (based on kernel.org version 3.2) and [[Vzctl_for_upstream_kernel]].
+
<pre>
 +
# apt-get update
 +
</pre>
  
You may also wish to check the information on [http://wiki.debian.org/OpenVz the Debian wiki].
+
== precompiled kernel images at debian.systs.org (dso) ==
 +
The kernel-images on debian.systs.org (dso) use the same kernel-config taken from OpenVZ.
 +
(most kernel-modules are built-in!)
  
For Etch users, this document explains how to partially upgrade to Debian Lenny and install from lenny repositories ('''use this options at your risk''').
+
If there is more than one CPU available (or a CPU with hyperthreading), use the kernel-smp deb.
 +
If there is more than 4 Gb of RAM available, use the kernel-enterprise deb.
 +
Otherwise, use the plain kernel deb (kernel).

=== Filesystems ===
+
kernel-image: i368 and amd64
It's recommended that you use a separate partition for container private
+
<pre>
directories (by default <code>/var/lib/vz/private/<CTID></code>). The reason for this is that if you wish to use the OpenVZ per-container disk quota, you won't be able to use usual Linux disk quotas on the same partition. Bear in mind that "per-container quota" in this context includes not only pure per-container quota but also the usual Linux disk quota used in container, not on the [[HN]].
+
ovzkernel-2.6.9
 +
ovzkernel-2.6.9-smp
 +
</pre>
  
At the very least try to avoid using the root partition for containers, because the root user of a container will be able to overcome the 5% disk space barrier in some situations. If the HN root partition is completely filled, it will break the system.
+
kernel-image: i386 only:
 +
<pre>
 +
ovzkernel-2.6.9-enterprise
 +
ovzkernel-2.6.9-entnosplit
 +
</pre>
  
OpenVZ per-container disk quota is supported only for ext2/ext3 filesystems; therefore it makes sense to use one of these filesystems (ext3 is recommended) if you need per-container disk quota.
+
OpenVZ tool(s) for i386 and amd64
 +
<pre>
 +
vzctl
 +
vzquota
 +
vzprocps
 +
vzdump
 +
</pre>
  
=== Repository setup (Etch only) ===
+
template(s) for i368 and amd64 : Debian 3.1 Minimal
 +
<pre>
 +
vzctl-ostmpl-debian
 +
</pre>
  
'''If you are using Debian Lenny, this step in no longer required. Openvz kernel packages and tools are available on main repository.'''
+
== installing the kernel-images, toolset and debian-os-template ==
 +
Example: install the stable OpenVZ kernel, tools and Debian OS Template
  
==== 1. Using openvz.org repositories ====
+
# aptitude install ovzkernel-2.6.9 vzctl vzquota vzdump vzctl-ostmpl-debian
  
At the moment two different repositories are online at http://download.openvz.org:
 
  
; by Ola Lundqvist <opal@debian.org>
+
Maybe you need to update your "linux-loader" (can be configured at /etc/kernel-img.conf)
: (OpenVZ kernels only)
 
: apt-uri http://download.openvz.org/debian
 
  
; by Thorsten Schifferdecker <tsd@debian.systs.org>
+
for the "GRUB":  
: apt-uri http://download.openvz.org/debian-systs
 
: (Mirror of OpenVZ Repository from http://debian.systs.org/)
 
  
{{Note|The next steps use the repository at http://download.openvz.org/debian-systs; the actual OpenVZ Tools for Debian exist only as unstable builds, see http://packages.debian.org/vzctl}}
+
# /sbin/grub-update
  
{{Note|By default, on Ubuntu systems root tasks are executed with [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo sudo]}}
 
  
This can be done via the following commands, as root or as privileged "sudo" user
+
Reboot in your new Debian Stable OpenVZ System
<pre>
 
# echo -e "\ndeb http://download.openvz.org/debian-systs etch openvz" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
 
# wget -q http://download.openvz.org/debian-systs/dso_archiv_signing_key.asc -O- | apt-key add - && apt-get update
 
</pre>
 
  
==== 2. Using Debian repositories (upgrade to lenny) ====
+
# reboot
  
There is even a '''lenny''' repository with kernel 2.6.28. '''Use it at your own risk!'''
 
  
Add lenny repositories to your '''/etc/apt/sources.list'''
+
That's all :-)
<pre>
 
deb http://DEBIAN-MIRROR/debian/ testing main
 
deb http://DEBIAN-MIRROR/debian-security/ testing/updates main
 
</pre>
 
  
Enlarge apt-cache adding to '''/etc/apt/apt.conf''' this line:
+
Now it's time to setup your VE's with the minimal Debian-3.1 Template, create new one or download another precreated OS-Template.
<pre>
 
APT::Cache-Limit "100000000";
 
</pre>
 
  
Give etch package priority over lenny packages. Edit '''/etc/apt/preferences''' and set like this:
+
= Etch (Stable) =
<pre>
+
OpenVZ is now a part of Debian Etch repository.
Package: *
 
Pin: release a=etch
 
Pin-Priority: 700
 
  
Package: *
+
== install the kernel-image ==
Pin: release a=lenny
 
Pin-Priority: 650
 
</pre>
 
  
Then '''apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade''' to upgrade to lenny.

+
# apt-get install <linux-image>
  
===== Installing the user-level tools =====
+
=== or build your own kernel-image (debian way) ===
  
OpenVZ needs some user-level tools installed. Those are:
+
To install the kernel-source and the OpenVZ kernel patch, run:
 +
<pre>
 +
# apt-get install kernel-package linux-source-2.6.18 kernel-patch-openvz libncurses5-dev
 +
</pre>
  
; vzctl
 
: A utility to control OpenVZ containers (create, destroy, start, stop, set parameters etc.)
 
; vzquota
 
: A utility to manage quotas for containers. Mostly used indirectly (by vzctl).
 
  
 +
Unpack the kernel-source:
 
<pre>
 
<pre>
  # [sudo] apt-get install vzctl vzquota
+
  # cd /usr/src
 +
# tar xjf linux-source-2.6.18.tar.bz2
 +
# cd linux-source-2.6.18
 
</pre>
 
</pre>
  
==== 2 Using Debian lenny repositories ====
 
  
If you upgrade to lenny, you can search openvz kernel and can install with:
+
You need a kernel config.
 +
You can use the config of the debian-kernel:
 
<pre>
 
<pre>
apt-get install linux-image-openvz-686
+
# cp /boot/config-2.6.18-4-686 .config
 
</pre>
 
</pre>
this command will install latest kernel and all required packages like:
+
 
 +
 
 +
Or get a 2.6.18 kernel config from http://download.openvz.org/kernel/devel/current/configs/
 
<pre>
 
<pre>
apt-get install iproute libatm1 linux-image-2.6.26-1-openvz-686 linux-image-openvz-686 rsync vzctl vzquota libcgroup-dev
+
# wget http://download.openvz.org/kernel/devel/current/configs/kernel-2.6.18-028test010-i686.config.ovz -O .config
 
</pre>
 
</pre>
and will arrange grub bootloader properly.
 
 
=== Rebooting into OpenVZ kernel ===
 
 
{{Warning|Before you restart your Server, verify that your system has all needed modules enabled in order to boot your harddisk (e.g. hardware modules, raid system(s), lvm2 etc). You may need an INITRD (initramdisk) or to compile needed kernel modules statically.}}
 
 
Now reboot the machine and choose the OpenVZ Linux Kernel on the boot loader menu. If the OpenVZ kernel has been booted successfully, proceed to installing the user-level tools for OpenVZ.
 
  
=== Confirm proper installation ===
 
  
1. Kernel:
+
Now you can apply openvz kernel patch and modify your kernel-config:
 
<pre>
 
<pre>
  # uname -r
+
  # ../kernel-patches/all/apply/openvz
2.6.26-1-openvz-686
+
  # make menuconfig
  #
 
 
</pre>
 
</pre>
  
2. Openvz kernel facility:
+
 
 +
You need following OpenVZ kernel config settings:
 
<pre>
 
<pre>
# ps ax | grep vz
+
(taken from a OpenVZ Kernel 2.6.18-028test010.1 on 686)

+
== Install the toolset ==
  
To install a container, you need OS template(s).
+
You need the toolset for managing OpenVZ Virtual Environments (VE)
  
Precreated templates can be found [http://wiki.openvz.org/Download/template/precreated here] and [http://download.openvz.org/contrib/template/precreated/ here].
+
<pre>
 +
# apt-get install vzctl vzquota
 +
</pre>
  
You can create your own templates, see
+
= modify needed settings =
[[Debian template creation]], [[Ubuntu Gutsy template creation]] and [[:Category: Templates]].
 
  
{{Note|Setup your prefered standard OS Template : edit the /etc/vz/vz.conf}}
+
If you want network access for the virtual server then you need to enable IP forwarding.
  
  # [sudo] apt-get install vzctl-ostmpl-debian-5.0-i386-minimal
+
An old (before Etch) Debian Way: set "ip_forward" to yes in /etc/network/option.
  
== Additional User Tools ==
+
# editor /etc/network/options
  
; vzprocps
+
The new (from Etch) standard way is to use sysctl for this (see below).
:    A set of utilities to provide system information (vzps and vztop)
 
  
; [[vzdump]]
 
:    A utility to backup and restore container.
 
  
  # [sudo] apt-get install vzprocps vzdump
+
In some cases you may need to enable proxy_arp for the network devices that you want your virtual hosts to be accessible on.
 +
You can add this to a specific interface in the network configuration (/etc/network/interfaces) by the following lines, replace %DEV% with your device name (ie. eth0).
  
 +
Example:
  
On Debian squeeze, vzdump seems packaged in standard aptline. For lenny, See [[Backup_of_a_running_container_with_vzdump]]
+
<pre>

[...]
 +
</pre>
  
== Secure it ==
+
or use the /etc/network/if-up/ and /etc/network/if-down.d/ directories.
  
If you want to secure your container with individual firewall rules (instead or additionally to securing the host node) then you must run iptables inside the container. This works slightly different than on a physical server. So make sure that you check that iptables rules are indeed applied as expected inside the container.
+
<pre>
 +
INFO: # man 5 interfaces (to read more about debian's network interface configuration for ifup and ifdown)
 +
INFO: It is recommanded to add the magic-sysrq key, to your /etc/sysctl.conf
 +
</pre>
  
Iptables modules required by the container must be specified in the general vz.conf file or the vzXXX.conf file of the container.
+
a (plain) OpenVZ Linux Way:
  
Add the following line into vz.conf to activate the respective iptables modules for all containers.
+
Add settings to "/etc/sysctl.conf"
  
  IPTABLES="ip_tables ipt_REJECT ipt_tos ipt_limit ipt_multiport iptable_filter iptable_mangle ipt_TCPMSS ipt_tcpmss ipt_ttl

Add these lines to it:
 
  
  #!/bin/bash

<pre>
  /sbin/iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.up.rules

  INFO: Suggestion: Please make a symlink from /var/lib/vz to /vz as backward compability to Main OpenVZ
 +
  (Debian vz root directory is installed FHS-like to /var/lib/vz)
  
The file needs to be executable so change the permissions:
+
  # ln -s /var/lib/vz /vz
 
+
</pre>
  chmod +x /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/iptables
 
  
Start iptables
 
  
/etc/init.d/iptables start
+
'''Before you restart your Server, keep in mind, that your system has all needed modules enabled; booting from your harddisk (e.g. hardware modules, raid system(s), lvm2 etc). May you need a INITRD (initramdisk) or compile needed kernel modules statically in.'''
  
If the startup shows errors then you have probably not activated the needed iptables modules. See above.
 
  
Check inside the container that your iptables rules are indeed applied:
+
# reboot
  
iptables -L
 
  
If the rules do not show up as you would expect on a physical server then you might not have activated the needed iptables modules.
 
  
== Start it! ==
+
That's all!
  
# [sudo] /etc/init.d/vz start
+
Now it's time to create a OS Template or download another precreated OS-Template.
  
This does not make the vz system automatically start at boot time.  For automatic start:
 
  
  # [sudo] update-rc.d vz defaults 98
+
  INFO: Suggestions: Setup your default OS Template in /etc/vz/vz.conf
  
== Use it! ==
 
  
After installing the OpenVZ kernel, user tools and a minimal OS template
 
to create a first container and do some [[basic operations in OpenVZ environment]]. Read the [[download:doc/OpenVZ-Users-Guide.pdf]], browse this wiki.
