Setting up Elgg VM on CedeusGeoNode

>> return to Cedeus_IDE

---

steps performed:

1. copying basicubunutu1404.vdi file and renaming to elgg.vdi
2. creating the tilestream VM on CedeusDB (ip.18):
   • VBoxManage createvm --name elgg --ostype Ubuntu_64 --register
   • VBoxManage modifyvm elgg --memory 4096
   • VBoxManage modifyvm elgg --cpus 4
   • VBoxManage modifyvm elgg --nic1 nat
   • VBoxManage storagectl elgg --name "SATA Controller" --add sata --controller IntelAhci
   • assign the (old) disk image a new uuid

     VBoxManage internalcommands sethduuid elgg.vdi

   • attach the (old) disk image:

     VBoxManage storageattach "tilestream" --storagectl "SATA Controller" --port 0 --device 0 --type hdd --medium tilestream.vdi

   • VBoxManage storagectl tilestream --name "IDE Controller" --add ide --controller PIIX4
   • set the nat rules (ports):

     VBoxManage modifyvm tilestream --natpf1 "ssh,tcp,,16022,,22"

     VBoxManage modifyvm tilestream --natpf1 "apache,tcp,,16080,,80"

     VBoxManage modifyvm tilestream --natpf1 "tilestream,tcp,,16088,,8888"

3. optional - set VRDE port:
   • VBoxManage modifyvm mediawiki --vrdeport 3389 (Note: 3389 is the default port anyway)
4. start the VM

   VBoxHeadless -s tilestream --vrde on &

   the VM will listen on port 3389

5. The following step do not seem to be necessary with Ubuntu 14.04 and new VirtualBox - however, are necesary for 12.04. But if so: connect with VRD and adjust network card settings (remember the existing VM have an old password)
   • open /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and comment out existing network adapters
   • reboot
   • check if ssh connection works
6. restart TileStream from within the home folder with defining the tileset location:

   ./tilestream/index.js start --host 146.155.17.18 --tiles=/usr/share/tilestream &

   • to check with what PID tilestream is running use:

     ps -A | grep tilestream
