Managing OpenVZ With The Vtonf Control Panel On CentOS 5.2

falko — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 16:08:40 +0100

Vtonf is a free web-based control panel (released under the GPL license) for managing virtual private servers (VPS) based on OpenVZ. It makes it very easy to create and manage OpenVZ VMs even for people with little technical knowledge. Right now, Vtonf is available only for RedHat, Fedora, and CentOS (support for Debian is planned), therefore I describe its installation and usage on a CentOS 5.2 server.

Installing Xen On CentOS 5.2 (i386)

falko — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 13:37:55 +0100

This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to install Xen on a CentOS 5.2 system. Xen lets you create guest operating systems (*nix operating systems like Linux and FreeBSD), so called virtual machines or domUs, under a host operating system (dom0). Using Xen you can separate your applications into different virtual machines that are totally independent from each other (e.g. a virtual machine for a mail server, a virtual machine for a high-traffic web site, another virtual machine that serves your customers' web sites, a virtual machine for DNS, etc.), but still use the same hardware. This saves money, and what is even more important, it's more secure. If the virtual machine of your DNS server gets hacked, it has no effect on your other virtual machines. Plus, you can move virtual machines from one Xen server to the next one.

Installing And Using OpenVZ On Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server

falko — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 13:30:54 +0200

In this HowTo I will describe how to prepare an Ubuntu 8.04 LTS server for OpenVZ. With OpenVZ you can create multiple Virtual Private Servers (VPS) on the same hardware, similar to Xen and the Linux Vserver project. OpenVZ is the open-source branch of Virtuozzo, a commercial virtualization solution used by many providers that offer virtual servers. The OpenVZ kernel patch is licensed under the GPL license, and the user-level tools are under the QPL license.

Perche' esternalizzare i server puo' essere la giusta soluzione

Draga — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 00:32:45 +0200

Molti privati, aziende o enti pubblici scelgono di mantenere il proprio server (posta, web, eccetera) internamente e poi darlo in gestione esterna. Spesso. invece, la soluzione migliore puo' essere proprio quella opposta, ovvero mettere una macchina in server farm, prendere un server dedicato oppure un pacchetto all-in-one.Vediamone i motivi.

Tenere aggiornato WordPress automaticamente (o quasi)

dynamick — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 10:44:00 +0100

L’idea è di utilizzare questo VPS per alcuni blog e l’esigenza è quella di aggiornare Wordpress con l’ultima versione a disposizione ogni volta che ne esce una. La soluzione più semplice è quella di usare il subversioning, un sistema tramite il quale viene tenuto aggiornata la propria copia con quella ufficiale.
