This article will show a managed installation of OpenVZ based on Debian Lenny (Debian 5.0) and some other interesting software pieces like PuppetMaster. It is mainly written to show how to manage more than one OpenVZ server in a production environment.
Contents
Pre-Requirements
You should know this software, because it is used during the setup.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us.
Software list:
The Debian preseed setup
At first some basics. To use a so called "preseed" file it is good to know what it is. The Debian installation is done with the "Debian Installer", short d-i. This d-i normally is a ncurses based console application that asks you some questions about your timezone, your partition setup, your network and so on. All this questions could be answered trough a preseed file. In this file some or all questions could be answered.
Now it is good to know that if you do not answer a question or if a question pops up which is not in the preseed file, the d-i waits until you give a right answer. So it is a really good thing because you could leave something open and use the same preseed file for different hardware boxes e.g. one hardware has one network interface, another hardware has four network interfaces.
Also it is good to know that you can use the preseed file to answer questions from any Debian package which is using the debconf interface, for example postfix.
How to start the preseed setup
Simply download the Netinstall CD from a Debian mirror put it in your cdrom-drive and boot the server. After booting from the CD you should see the Debian Grub Boot menu. In this menu you should select the "Advanced Option" and in the following menu place your cursor on "Automated install" - but do not press enter!
You have to edit this boot menu entry by pressing the TAB key. Now you can append the URL option to the end of this boot line. Now press enter and continue the setup. Here is an example and a screen shot.
URL=http://yourserver:yourport/yourpreseedfile
As an example here is our preseed file:
During the preseed setup
If the d-i faces a question where it finds no answer in the preseed file it will hold until you answer the question. The d-i will not cancel the installation process.
This is an interesting feature because you could use one file for different hardware setups. For example, if you have not configured that the d-i always uses the eth0 device during setup and there is more then one network card in your hardware, the d-i will wait until you choose one device.
Additional informations
At our site we use different preseed files for different purposes. As example one preseed for VMWare (Guest) servers etc... All our preseed files are placed on a webserver but you should know that it is also possible to integrate the preseed process into a self made Debian installation medium.
The apt-proxy
The Debian Netinstall CD covers only a minimal system. So if you need more packages like rsync or others you have to connect to the internet. Without choosing a Debian mirror during the setup, the setup could not continue. If you use Debian OpenVZ Servers and Debian based Virtual Private Server at your site, you should use an apt-proxy to cache the downloaded packages. After the first setup this will speed up your installation time by factors!
The apt-proxy setup is as easy as 1-2-3 go.
Here is the preseed file, please note that I have removed the comments but I make some explanations for clearer understanding:

The private Debian repository
In our case the private repository is an essential factor because it will provide you with a fast software roll out, replicable software and consistent system state trough a large number of setups.
It is quite easy to setup your own repository with reprepro [5] and it is really useful.
As you can see in the preseed file we have a lot of this packages in our repository. Some examples:
- hns-zabbix-agentd
- is used for the automated installation of the Zabbix System Monitoring Agent.[6]
- hns-openvz-common
- creates a backup cronjob and installs a backup script
- installs a set of scripts for Zabbix monitoring and therefore depends on the hns-zabbix-agentd package
- hns-openvz-ubuntu-hosting
- installs our pre-created Ubuntu[7] template for automated guest-installation
- hns-puppet
- installs the PuppetMaster client
The Puppet Master configuration management
If your preseeded setup was successful you have to configure your fresh server to fit your expectations. At our site we have ten OpenVZ servers in different countries and it is really important that they have the same configuration.
To make life easier we decided to use a configuration management like cfengine[8] but not as complex in setup and management. We found our solution in Puppet Master.
The only dependency Puppet Master has is Ruby. This should be installable on every distribution in minutes.
After the installation you have to configure the Puppet Master to do things. Typically this means accepting the public private key pair and doing some configuration stuff. At our site we use Puppet Master to manage an installation of about 100 servers.
One thing it does is to change the sysctl.conf file.
To get a feeling for it here is an configuration example (only OpenVZ server hosts):
# ALL----- OPENVZ node "yourserver1.yourdns.com", "yourserver2.yourdns.com", "yourserver3.yourdns.com", "yourserver4.yourdns.com", "yourserver5.yourdns.com", "yourserver6.yourdns.com", "yourserver7.yourdns.com"{ file { "/etc/aliases": mode => 644, owner => root, group => root, source => "puppet://yourpuppetmaster/files/openvz-hosts/etc/aliases", } exec { "subscribe-newaliases": command => "/usr/bin/newaliases && /bin/echo NEALIASSES", subscribe => File["/etc/aliases"], refreshonly => true, logoutput => true } file { "/etc/apt/sources.list": mode => 644, owner => root, group => root, source => "puppet://yourpuppetmaster/files/openvz-hosts/etc/apt/sources.list" } file { "/root/.ssh/authorized_keys2": mode => 644, owner => root, group => root, source => "puppet://yourpuppetmaster/files/openvz-hosts/root/authorized_keys2" } file { "/etc/vim/vimrc": mode => 644, owner => root, group => root, source => "puppet://yourpuppetmaster/files/openvz-hosts/etc/vim/vimrc" } file { "/etc/vz/conf/ve-vps.10.conf-sample": mode => 644, owner => root, group => root, source => "puppet://yourpuppetmaster/files/openvz-hosts/etc/vz/conf/ve-vps.10.conf-sample" } file { "/etc/sysctl.conf": mode => 644, owner => root, group => root, source => "puppet://yourpuppetmaster/files/openvz-hosts/etc/sysctl.conf" } exec { subscribe-sysctl: command => "/sbin/sysctl -p && /bin/echo SYSCTL EXECUTED", logoutput => true, refreshonly => true, subscribe => file["/etc/sysctl.conf"] } file { "/etc/ntp.conf": mode => 644, owner => root, group => root, source => "puppet://yourpuppetmaster/files/openvz-hosts/etc/ntp.conf" } file { "/root/.bashrc": mode => 644, owner => root, group => root, source => "puppet://yourpuppetmaster/files/openvz-hosts/root/bashrc" } file { "/srv/exim_config.sh": mode => 744, owner => root, group => root, source => "puppet://yourpuppetmaster/files/openvz-hosts/srv/exim_config.sh" } exec { subscribe-exim_config: command => "/srv/exim_config.sh && /usr/sbin/update-exim4.conf && /etc/init.d/exim4 restart && /bin/echo EXIM_CONFIG", logoutput => true, refreshonly => true, subscribe => file["/srv/exim_config.sh"] } file { "/etc/default/snmpd": mode => 644, owner => root, group => root, source => "puppet://yourpuppetmaster/files/openvz-hosts/etc/default/snmpd" } exec { subscribe-snmpd_config: command => "/etc/init.d/snmpd restart && /bin/echo SNMPD_CONFIG", logoutput => true, refreshonly => true, subscribe => file["/etc/default/snmpd"] } }
