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)
