Title: Install from Centos
Post by: newburns on July 17, 2013, 06:34:11 PM
I cannot find the instructions to install from CentOS. I am trying to create OpenVZ Templates for SME 8 and Koozali 9 (or Koozali 1). I am in a Proxmox Virtual Environment and would rather run SME as a container and not a KVM. Not sure what I need to make it a template for OpenVZ, but I know that CentOS is already a template, and I remember seeing instructions under SME 9 for pointing a repository to SME in order to install SME 9 completely.

Thanks!

I've done it that way several times. I was trying to implement a way to have WHMCS create a OpenVZ Container for each new client that will purchase a VM at a reduced rate if they decide to use the SME (Koozali) OS.
This was a quick idea to raise some revenue for SME. Just an idea for now, as I have yet to complete my cluster setup with NAS. Also, I have to complete a demo SME with automatic snapshot restorations twice a day for SME. This should help to generate more users. Was trying to think ahead of how to implement VM sales for SME, that's all.
Thanks.
Any ideas, let me know.
As of right now, I have two nodes using Dual AMD 2212HE and 8gb Ram, with an OmniOS Nas attached without shared storage. Build should be final at the end of Q3 2013.
Final build will be
Code: [Select]
NODE 1
either DL360 G7 or Dual E5-2620 with 96gb ram to start (Need help deciding on build or proprietary)

NODE 2
Dual AMD 2212HE with 64gb Ram

NODE 3
Dual AMD 2212HE with 24gb Ram

NODE 4
Atom S1260 with 8gb Ram

STORAGE 1
Dual AMD 2212HE with 64gb Ram and 12 - 3TB Drives in 3-way mirror vdevs

STORAGE 2
Dual AMD 2212HE with 8gb Ram and 12 - 2TB Drives in 2-way mirror vdevs

Let me know what you think, and what possible routes I should take. Just trying to help donate time and expertise when I don't have funds to.
