Title: 1 System - should I run Endian in Virtual Server? Post by: mrchip on Thursday 11 November 2010, 08:09:36 am I'm trying to consolidate my servers for sake of power consumption, heat, space and sanity. I currently run a fileserver, sql database program, synch/backup on one box running Ubuntu 10.04 I would like to setup endian on the same box. Is it best to run Endian in a virtual machine from the Ubuntu system or am I better doing a fresh install of Endian and running a virtual machine with Ubuntu and all my other stuff on it?

I have VirtualBox installed and two VMs: endian+webserver(DMZ) my /etc/network/interfaces is: iface lo inet loopback #auto eth0 #iface eth0 inet manual # up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # down /sbin/ifconfig eth0 down auto eth1 iface eth1 inet manual up /sbin/ifconfig eth1 up down /sbin/ifconfig eth1 down eth0 is my GREEN and eth1 my RED. both are "bridged" in VirtualBox webserver is in a "internal" net together with endian. Only drawback of this setup is I have to wait for EFW to come up and then connect eth0 (EFW is my DHCP server). HiH Mauro Title: Re: 1 System - should I run Endian in Virtual Server?

I noticed VMWare has an appliance. So was thinking of trying that. I was going to run 3 nics; 1) WAN 2) LAN 3) Shared Wireless-which will not be able to reach the LAN Was also going to have Endian run the DHCP service as well. |
