OpenVZ is a container-based virtualization system that allows you to run multiple operating systems on a single physical host. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install OpenVZ on Debian Latest.
Before we begin, you need to have the following:
The first step is to update the system packages to their latest versions. Open your terminal and run the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
OpenVZ requires some dependencies to be installed on the system. To install these dependencies, run the following command:
sudo apt install wget make gcc debhelper dkms
Next, we need to add the OpenVZ repository to our server. To do this, run the following command:
wget -O - https://download.openvz.org/debian/openvz.key | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://download.openvz.org/debian/OpenVZ $(lsb_release -cs) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openvz.list
With the OpenVZ repository added, we can now install OpenVZ on our server. Run the following command to install the package:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install pve-kernel-$(uname -r)
After the installation is complete, reboot the server by running:
sudo reboot
Once the server has rebooted, log in again and run the following command to verify that OpenVZ has been installed:
dpkg -l | grep pve-kernel
You have now successfully installed OpenVZ on Debian Latest. You can now create and manage virtual containers on your server using OpenVZ.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
