Debian 8.0 (Jessie) OpenVZ Template - 64bit (Download Link Inside)

rmlhhd

I've created a Debian 8.0 Jessie amd64 OpenVZ template which can be downloaded from here -

https://tmp.rmlh.uk/debian-8.0-amd64-minimal.tar.gz

I'll create a 32bit version and update this discussion shortly.

I created this since there's no official downloads and I can't find any "working" templates anywhere else

Built these awhile ago. Just never published them xD

Dear lord, what did you have to do to make such a modern OS work on such an ancient kernel?

Debootstrap works fine with Jessie

I will say the same that the Openvz people says. That isn't an old kernel at all, it has been patched with the features of the mainstream kernels.

Maybe, maybe not, but I see it kinda like a separate branch of the linux kernels.

@rmlhhd Thank you! I will wait for the 32 bit one.

How'd you get the SSH key generation to work? Somehow for me http://openvz.org/Debian_template_creation#Fix_SSH_host_keys just doesn't execute on bootup

Installed on Proxmox. Working great! Thank you.

To be honest I didn't check that, it wasn't working so anyone who's downloaded the template will need to update it. I've fixed the issue and uploaded the new template.

I've got it to generate those keys via rc.local

@FredQc @yomero please re-download the template ASAP I've updated it with a working sshkey generation.

So the same script but in rc.local ? or?

Yes... I copied the original rc.local to rc.local.bak then edited rc.local with the first boot commands which then deletes the edited rc.local and moves the .bak file to rc.local

#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.

ssh-keygen -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key -t rsa -N ''
ssh-keygen -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key -t dsa -N ''
rm -f \$0

rm /etc/rc.local
mv /etc/rc.local.bak /etc/rc.local

exit 0

You could use sed to be cleaner, but you way does get the job done
