OpenVZ is a powerful and efficient container-based virtualization system that allows you to run multiple virtual machines on a single physical machine. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing OpenVZ on POP! OS Latest.
Before installing OpenVZ, ensure your system is up-to-date by running the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
OpenVZ does not come with POP! OS Latest, so you'll need to add the OpenVZ repository to your system. Run the following command to add the repository:
echo "deb http://download.openvz.org/debian-systs jessie main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openvz.list
This command adds a new source list file to your system, which contains the OpenVZ repository.
Next, you'll need to add the OpenVZ repository key to your system. Run the following command to download and install the key:
wget -qO - http://download.openvz.org/debian-systs/dso_archiv_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -
This command downloads the OpenVZ repository key and installs it on your system.
Now it's time to install OpenVZ on your system. Run the following command to install the OpenVZ kernel and tools:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install linux-image-openvz-amd64 vzctl vzquota
This command installs the OpenVZ kernel and tools required to deploy virtual machines on your system.
After installing OpenVZ, you'll need to reboot your system to load the new kernel. Run the following command to reboot your system:
sudo reboot
After rebooting your system, verify that OpenVZ is installed and working correctly by running the following command:
sudo systemctl status vz
This command should display the status of the OpenVZ service, which should be active (running).
Congratulations, you have successfully installed OpenVZ on POP! OS Latest! You can now use OpenVZ to deploy and manage virtual machines on your system.
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!
