Installing Ubuntu Hoary as a Vserver guest

As Hoary is the latest LTS release of Ubuntu, it would be a good choice to install as a server. A lot of this information is from the OpenVZ guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVZ.

This guide requires that you have configured your /etc/vservers/.default correctly

__TOC__
== Prerequisites ==
* debootstrap

[Vserver-host] $ sudo apt-get install debootstrap

== Debootstraping in Ubuntu ==
[Vserver-host] $ vserver hardy-guest build -m debootstrap \
--context 42 --hostname hardy-guest --force \
--interface eth0:10.0.0.123/8 \
-- -d hardy -m http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ \
-- --arch=i386 --exclude=udev

You will receive the following warning 5 times (obviously):

W: Failure while configuring base packages. This will be attempted 5 times.

You can safely ignore them, as we will fix this later

== Removing unneeded services ==
By default klogd and rmnologin runs at startup of the guest, it is not necessary, and will slow down the startup time of your guest, you better remove them

[Vserver-host] $ cd /[path_of_vservers]/hardy-guest/etc/rc3.d
[Vserver-host] $ rm S11klogd S99rmnologin

You should also remove unneeded shutdown scripts

[Vserver-host] $ cd /[path_of_vservers]/hardy-guest/etc/rc6.d
[Vserver-host] $ rm *

You should add a link for killing sysklogd

[Vserver-host] $ ln -s ../init.d/sysklogd K11sysklogd

== Starting guest and fixing group 11 issue ==
Now it is time to start your new vserver and enter it:
[Vserver-host] $ vserver hardy-guest start
It will return the following:
/etc/init.d/rc: 166: cannot open /dev/console: No such file
* Starting system log daemon...
...done.
* Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)
...done.
Then you can enter your vserver
[Vserver-host] $ vserver hardy-guest enter
It will return the following:
id: cannot find name for group ID 11

=== Fixing the "/etc/init.d/rc: 166: cannot open /dev/console: No such file" issue ===
Open /etc/init.d/rc in your favorite editor
root@hardy-guest:/# vim /etc/init.d/rc
Find the following lines and comment them out by perpending them with an "#" (this has been done in the example) They will be at line 163-166
# Set onlcr to avoid staircase effect.
#if [ "$QUIET" != yes ]; then
# stty onlcr </dev/console >/dev/console 2>&1
#fi
Save and quit

=== Fixing the "id: cannot find name for group ID 11" issue ===
I don't know what the group really shoud be, but I just added the group "void" as group 11. Someone who knows what it should be, could probably correct it.

groupadd -g 11 void

== Removing unneeded packages ==
There are some packages you obviously would not need in a vserver-guest:

* DHCP3
* busybox-initramfs
* console-setup
* dmidecode eject
* ethtool
* initramfs-tools
* klibc-utils
* laptop-detect
* libiw29
* libklibc
* libvolume-id0
* mii-diag
* module-init-tools
* ntpdate
* pciutils
* pcmciautils
* ubuntu-minimal
* udev usbutils
* wireless-tools
* wpasupplicant
* xkb-data
* tasksel
* tasksel-data

So you should start up your new guest and enter it and remove them.

[hardy-guest] $ apt-get remove --purge busybox-initramfs console-setup dmidecode eject \
ethtool initramfs-tools klibc-utils laptop-detect libiw29 libklibc \
libvolume-id0 mii-diag module-init-tools ntpdate pciutils pcmciautils ubuntu-minimal \
udev usbutils wireless-tools wpasupplicant xkb-data tasksel tasksel-data \
dhcp3-client dhcp3-server

== Finished ==
Now you have installed hoary from debootstrap, and hopefully everything is working
