OpenVZ is a virtualization technology that allows multiple virtual environments to run on a single physical machine. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps of installing OpenVZ on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before installing OpenVZ, make sure your system meets the following requirements:
First, we need to add the OpenVZ repository to the system. To do this, open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo zypper ar -f http://download.openvz.org/openSUSE/15.0/OpenVZ.repo
This command will add the OpenVZ repository to your system.
To install OpenVZ, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo zypper in ovzkernel-devel vzctl vzquota ploop
This command will install the OpenVZ kernel, development headers, vzctl and vzquota.
Next, we need to configure the OpenVZ kernel. To do this, run the following command:
sudo cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) /usr/src/linux/.config
This command will copy the current kernel configuration to the OpenVZ kernel.
Now, we can build and install the OpenVZ kernel. Run the following commands in your terminal:
sudo make -C /usr/src/linux prepare
sudo make -C /usr/src/linux/scripts/kconfig/ merge_config.sh
sudo make -C /usr/src/linux
sudo make -C /usr/src/linux modules_install install
These commands will build and install the OpenVZ kernel.
After installing the OpenVZ kernel, you need to reboot your system to load the new kernel. Run the following command:
sudo reboot
After rebooting your system, you can test OpenVZ by running the following command:
sudo vzlist
This command should show an empty list of containers, which means that OpenVZ is working properly.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed OpenVZ on OpenSUSE Latest. You can now start creating and managing virtual environments 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!
