Machine/identity

Description

identity is a 64bit VM running Debian Squeeze for the client certificate based OpenID provider.

Installation

Base system

sudo virsh vol-create-as treehouse identity-root 8G
sudo virt-install --ram=512 --name=identity --arch=x86_64 --vcpus=1 --hvm \
  --accelerate --disk vol=treehouse/identity-root --network=network:default \
  --nographics --extra-args='console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 expert' \
  --location=http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-amd64/

This will create a new VM and run the Debian installer inside it, with an emulated serial console attached to stdio.

Config options:

• english, US, US keyboard
• identity, sugarlabs.org
• use entire disk, all in one, remove swap, recreate / (full size), noatime + user_xattr
• user "administrator" (not used) with root password (manually removed later)
• package sets: "Standard system", "SSH server"

After reboot:

• Log in as root with password (still via emulated serial console)
• passwd -d root
• aptitude install etckeeper monkeysphere
• Set up monkeysphere as usual (host key, user authentication, keyserver)
• Set up second network interface with static IPv4 address, IPv6 tunnel
• Shutdown and (re)start VM (needed for libvirtd to create the network interface - attach-interface didn't do it)
