Stable

Edit apt settings

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

 deb http://debian.systs.org/ stable openvz

and get the new package lists

# apt-get update

Packages at debian.systs.org (dso)

precreated OpenVZ Debian Packages:

kernel(s) for i368 and amd64

 ovzkernel-2.6.9      
 ovzkernel-2.6.9-smp

 ovzkernel-2.6.16      
 ovzkernel-2.6.16-smp

i386 only:

 ovzkernel-2.6.18-enterprise    

OpenVZ tool(s) for i386 and amd64

 vzctl
 vzquota
 vzprocps

template(s) for i368 and amd64 : Debian 3.1 Minimal

 vzctl-ostmpl-debian

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 :-)


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:

apt-get update
apt-get install kernel-patch-openvz vzctl vzquota

Creating the kernel package

To create a kernel package, you need to download and unpack 2.6.16 “vanilla” kernel first:

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

(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 Debian bug #377707.)

Next, get the proper kernel config from download.openvz.org. Below is the example of using smp config for i686:

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
Yellowpin.svg 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:

make-kpkg --added_patches openvz
