OpenVZ is a powerful virtualization system that allows you to create virtual machines on your server. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install OpenVZ on your Elementary OS.
Before installing OpenVZ, you need to ensure that your system meets the following requirements:
To install OpenVZ on your system, please follow these steps:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-image-openvz-amd64
sudo sed -i '/net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter/d' /etc/sysctl.conf
sudo sed -i '/net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter/d' /etc/sysctl.conf
sudo sed -i '/net.ipv4.ip_forward/d' /etc/sysctl.conf
sudo sed -i '$a\\n' /etc/sysctl.conf
sudo sed -i '$a\net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter=1' /etc/sysctl.conf
sudo sed -i '$a\net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter=1' /etc/sysctl.conf
sudo sed -i '$a\net.ipv4.ip_forward=1' /etc/sysctl.conf
sudo sysctl -p
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 96B7ECEA
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Add the following line to the end of the file:
deb http://download.openvz.org/debian-systs lenny openvz
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vzctl vzquota ploop
sudo reboot
You have now successfully installed OpenVZ on your Elementary OS. You can now start creating virtual machines and containers to run your applications. If you encounter any issues during the installation process, please refer to the official OpenVZ documentation for further assistance.
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!
