Debian sarge

Note: this article is not formatted according to this Wiki standards. Please help reformatting it in a better way.

• on proxmox-ve we need to run some Debian Sarge containers. we are using Proxmox Virtual Environment 1.5 . there are not any Sarge templates that I could find, so using info from http://wiki.openvz.org/Debian_template_creation I did this.

• note at the end I had to copy an existing .conf file to make this work. so the following needs improvement. I'll try to solve the issues and then edit this page. in the mean time if you need Sarge then this may be of some use.

aptitude  install debootstrap

• I used '599' as the container number. of course you'd want to pick an unused number.

debootstrap --arch i386  sarge /var/lib/vz/private/599  http://archive.debian.org/debian

> /etc/vz/conf/599.conf

vzctl set 599 --applyconfig pve.auto --save
 Saved parameters for CT 599

echo "OSTEMPLATE=debian-3.1" >> /etc/vz/conf/599.conf

vzctl set 599 --ipadd 10.100.100.144 --save

vzctl set 599 --nameserver 10.100.100.2 --save

vzctl start 599

vzctl enter 599

• note. the container started and I could enter and work with it cron cli. however the vm was mis-configured from proxmox's web control pages' point of view. so i think this line needs a defferent template:

vzctl set 599 --applyconfig pve.auto --save

to solve the issue I copied a working Debian Etch conf file from /etc/vz/conf to 599 and made a few changes..

I'll look around to try to find a conf template to use ..

• this is my final working conf file. it works ok from teh web control page.
