OpenVZ is a popular operating system-level virtualization technology that allows multiple isolated virtual environments to be created on a single physical server. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing OpenVZ on FreeBSD Latest in markdown format.
Before we begin, it is important to update your FreeBSD system to the latest version. To do this, run the following commands:
pkg update
pkg upgrade
OpenVZ requires some additional packages that need to be installed on your server. To do this, run the following command:
pkg install vzctl vzkernel
Before we begin the OpenVZ installation process, make sure that your firewall is configured to allow OpenVZ traffic.
Open the firewall configuration file using your preferred text editor:
nano /etc/ipfw.rules
Add the following rules to the file:
flush
add allow all from any to any via lo0
add allow tcp from any to any 22 in setup keep-state
add allow all from any to any out setup keep-state
Save and close the file.
Now we are ready to install OpenVZ. Run the following commands to download and install OpenVZ:
cd /usr/ports/sysutils/openvz-kernel-rhel6
make install clean
Once the installation is complete, we need to configure OpenVZ.
First, load the OpenVZ kernel module:
kldload vz.ko
Then, enable the OpenVZ service:
echo 'vz_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
Finally, start the OpenVZ service:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/vz start
To verify that OpenVZ has been installed correctly, you can run the following commands:
vzlist -a
vzctl status <VEID>
Congratulations! You have successfully installed OpenVZ on FreeBSD Latest. You can now create and manage multiple virtual environments 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!
