Ubuntu VM Appliance. Update Jun 06, 2014.

Ubuntu ServicesServer

 

Edit the xen cfg ServicesServer.cfg

Adjust the mac address and update the location of the img file,

to where you extracted the download or from where you wish to run the vm from.

 

VM Info:

Username: sysadmin

Password: sysadmin

 

All services run from docker containers.

The only down fall of this is that when docker containers are built with volumes that point to symlinks,

the container actually doesn't use the symlink, rather it use the full path.

What this means is that if you unRAID hostname is something other than "Tower" you will need to re-create all the containers.

 

Setup the network:

Edit "/etc/network/interfaces" adjust values according to your network, and change the ip if you desire.

 

If you want to change the hostname:

Issue the following command:

sudo hostname your-new-hostname

Additionally edit "/etc/hosts" and overwrite ServicesServer with your-new-hostname

 

Setup Mount Points for unraid shares:

Edit the file /etc/defaults/autocifs

Share names with spaces are not supported.

Edit the file server name, meaning replace "Tower" with the hostname of your unRAID server.

Ensure the directory /media/$FILE_SERVER exists.

 

Finalize:

Manual start:

service autocifs start

Log file:

/var/log/upstart/autocifs.log

Enable upstart script for autocifs:

rm /etc/init/autocifs.override

Edit the symlink /opt/downloads

rm /opt/downloads
ln -s /media/$FILE_SERVER /opt/downloads

I'm interested. How much RAM/HDD space? A write-up would be excellent.

[hurricanehrndz]

4 gb of ram, but i have never seen it use more than 2 gb when running all services. I will make it available soon with some documentation.

[ironicbadger]

What does this bring to the table that Tretflix does not out of interest?

[lonix]

Well Honestly ? I Really don't think we need Another Tretflix (Ubuntu+sabstack) in my opinion. That is unless you improved it significantly or somehow offer something else totaly uniq for the ubuntuVM

[BRiT]

I'm always for more options.

 

If we never tried out new things, we'd never have features or addons like preclear or cache_disk or unRAID in full Slackware, or unRAID in full Slackware 64bit, or unRAID 64bit, or Xen or the plugin system in unRAID. Well, you get the idea.

 

Hopefully these two can bring about synergy and offer continued improvements.

[hurricanehrndz]

Not much to be honest, I just didn't like the Tretflix vm. I made a configuration that was suitable to me. I wanted more control and I wanted to figure out something for the mounting of shares. Anyhow I made this little vm for myself and myself alone. I was just going to make it available if people were interested.

[hurricanehrndz]

Sorry for the delay, I have almost completed the documentation. Additionally, I have a couple services where I am changing the configuration and/or setup . So a release will be out shortly.
