Creating a VPS (Virtual Private Server) with OpenVZ involves several steps. Here’s a general guide:
Install OpenVZ:
On Debian/Ubuntu:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y vzctl vzquota
On CentOS:
sudo yum install -y epel-release
sudo yum install -y vzctl vzquota
Download OpenVZ Template:
Choose an OS template from the OpenVZ template repository:
wget http://download.openvz.org/template/precreated/{os_template}.tar.gz
Create a VPS Container:
Replace VPS_ID, VPS_HOSTNAME, and OS_TEMPLATE with appropriate values:
vzctl create VPS_ID –ostemplate OS_TEMPLATE –hostname VPS_HOSTNAME –ipadd VPS_IP_ADDRESS –nameserver DNS_IP_ADDRESS –onboot yes
Set Root Password:
vzctl set VPS_ID –userpasswd root:NEW_ROOT_PASSWORD –save
Start the VPS:
vzctl start VPS_ID
Enter the VPS:
vzctl enter VPS_ID
Configure Network Inside VPS:
Edit the network configuration file based on the OS.
For Debian/Ubuntu:
nano /etc/network/interfaces
For CentOS:
nano /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
Restart Networking Inside VPS:
service networking restart # Debian/Ubuntu
service network restart # CentOS
Install Additional Software:
Update the package list and install any required software inside the VPS.
Access VPS via SSH:
Use an SSH client to connect to your VPS using the assigned IP address and root credentials.
Remember to adapt the commands according to your specific requirements and the Linux distribution you are using. Additionally, consider configuring security measures like firewalls and keeping your VPS updated to ensure a secure environment.
