RE: [hobbit] New Hobbit server install validation

["Rafal Roginela" <Rafal.Roginela (at) AmeriCashLoans.net>]

Hi Josh,

 

Yeah just what I was thinking. Never did see this when I googled when I
installed my box.. hmmm.. makes me doubt my googling powers :-) But just
like this to chronicle my install since I'm going to do the docs for
myself I want to share it.

 

Thank You,

Rafal Roginela

Thank you Josh,

 

I was actually thinking of upgrading at that point too so re-compile and
all that would have to be done. 

 

I'm also thinking of documenting the process to make a install HowTo for
noobs like me. Because compiling is only half the story there is the
whole process of making users and setting the whole thing to start
automatically and all that; may seem like child's play to some but to me
I know it will take a bit especially since this will be my first foray
into Debian.

 

Thank You,

I don't see a problem with that, in fact I think it would be a wise
idea.  Note that anything built on Centos may not work on Debian - I
suggest recompiling/installing it on Debian then copying your
configuration.

Hi All,

 

I have a 4.2 install of Hobbit up and running and I am very happy with
it. It runs on an old Gateway workstation with a Celeron and 512MB and
performs stellar! CentOs 5 nothing fancy. I was going to move it to a
more recent piece of hardware a Dell OptiPlex 320, which at least it is
under warranty. I had the Idea of running it as a Xen VM on a Debian
host. Is this a bad idea? 

 

Clarification of purpose: I'm really not going to run anything else on
the Xen except for this one VM and maybe and I mean maybe a test xymon
VM directly replicated from the working production VM. This is to
provide me with a quick failover ability of copying the image (from
backup or if the HD is intact directly from there) to another Xen host
and BLAMO xymon is running within minutes.

 

Does this sound OK? Is there a better way to accomplish this? 

Thank you,
