OpenVZ Installer

This page will be dedicated to a small project: OpenVZ Installer .

OVZinstall has entered an Alpha Release state thanks to a few responses i got in the last days.

Project name: OVZinstall

Release date: 22 Nov. 2008

Version: 1.0a (Alpha)

Price: Free (Licensed under GPLv3)

Where to download: Download HERE

Hardware Support: x86 – i386/i586/i686 for now

What is OVZinstaller?

For the start OVZinstaller is a script write in Bash which will Check, Download and Install everything needed for a standard OpenVZ server including a few Templates without involving the user in the installation(or maybe just a bit).

It may be considered at first just a small script but if it saves me or you 20-30 minutes i guess it is worth.

The script was tested until now on the following OSs: Centos 4.7/5/5.2, Fedora Core(tested on version 8 and 10) and Debian 4/5 .

The templates downloaded are: centos-4.7-i386-default, centos-5.2-i386-default, fedora-core-6-i686-default,  slackware-12.0-i386-minimal, centos-5-i386-minimal, debian-4.0-i386-minimal, fedora-core-7-i386-default, ubuntu-8.10-i386-minimal .

How to install on the server:

wget http://repo.hostechs.com/ovz/ovzinstall.tar.gz
tar -zxvf ovzinstall.tar.gz
cd ovzinstall
chmod 755 ovzinstall.sh
./ovzinstall.sh

On a Debian install you may have to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and set the server to boot the OpenVZ kernel.

Please direct any Bugs to me and attach the openvz-install.log file located under /var/log/ .

Any input and ideas would be appreciated .

    I think you should definatly release an x86_64 installer for this!!!

    My customers love this it works perfectly and you are linked back from our website! But the 64bit Customers arent so impressed. Any chance of this getting to those stages any time soon?

    I was thinking to close down this project as there was almost no input for it. Anyway i said that i may put up a 64bit version as well but didn’t have to much time for it lately, a few personal things taking part of my time. Hopefully in the next month will have time to finish and release the 64bit version.

    Thanks for the input btw.
