Karoshi and Virtual PC Server

[linuxgirlie]

What do you mean? Have you got any examples you can show me? :?

[budgester]

Thanks everyone for trying the system out,

 

If anyone has any features that we are missing out, let us know, we are always adding, and the holidays allow this to happen much quicker!!

 

Thanks again!!

New feature, how about an Asterisk server, then we can have the VOIP goodness. :-)

[webman]

Perhaps something like the m0n0wall web interface for controlling everything that various Karoshi servers can do.

[linuxgirlie]

Ok, I'll put those two on the list!!

 

[linuxgirlie]

p.s Not sure when we will be able to do those yet though, esp monowall a-like looks like a big job

[Geoff]

Wouldn't a customised Webmin interface work?

[linuxgirlie]

Thats what we were just talking about, but not sure what road to go down yet, as we have about 8 other features to implement first.

Re Hardcoded addresses.

 

I'm sure that in a green field enviroment that this would work (assuming karoshi does work -but I don't know that because I haven't tested it - catch 22 )

 

However in real world - existing networks ARE existing networks - gateways/routers have fixed addresses - print servers and wireless APs have static IP's allocated - for testing I need to configure karoshi - not the other way around (or so I feel anyway)

 

I'd like to change IPs but I imagine that there are other places that IP/subnet masks are used (Samba config??? - printer config???- others?????)

 

Also - since I don't know yet how karoshi works I don't know which IP's I need to change - catch 22 again

Why not configure vmware for NAT and create a virtual 172.16 network for karoshi.

[budgester]

Yup and another one that I'm setting up here that may be of use.

I'm not sure I completely understand what you mean - just for clarification - I'd like to have Karoshi working as a Fileserver and or PDC and try accessing files and folders on it from my existing real machines (at home now so that means on my 192.168 network)

 

I can set the VMServer to use NAT but I don't seem able to see the Karoshi machine from my host machine even if I do this.

 

(Never played with NAT before on a LAN except for going out to T'internet.)

The file you need is: /opt/karoshi/serversetup/variables/tcpip

or for ltsp:

/opt/karoshi/serversetup/variables/ltsp_tcpip

 

Files are hard-coded, but the scripts for configuring the servers, redo all these ip' s from the files above. So as long as you either edit the file before you configure, or re-configure your server it will then work.

 

As a project we don't support the use of other ip's (and any bugs/problems that comes with changing them) but I do know of at least 3 schools who have changed their ip's because of lack of firewall, and have karoshi working fine.
