Ebox installation in XEN
« on: December 18, 2007, 01:54:22 am »
Is there a good how-to on installing Ebox as a XEN guest? I did a lot of searching but didn't find any good references.

I don't mind rtfm - just need some pointers on where to start.


P.S. I think Ebox will fill a very empty void in the Linux world, an excellent product with a bright future.

Thanks for all the hard work.

I attempted this a while back.  It's not impossible, but you have to consider a lot of moving parts when working with multiple interfaces in XEN.  If you are ambitious, you might want to start with a XEN router config and build from there.  After researching the matter I personally decided it was way too much work.

Best of Luck.

Hi there!

My first post and I've already had a t-shirt! hahahaha. Well... there is a tool called ANSTE [1] developed at warp to test network-oriented tools which uses XEN to manage eBox instances. You may take a look and see how xen configuration is modified to handle eBox.

Hi there

I found it quite simple to have ebox running on VMWare Server than Xen.

I'm currently running VMWare Server 1.0.4 on Ubuntu Server 7 with
 - 1 VM machine running IPCop 1.4.13
 - 1 VM running ebox as PDC
 - 1 VM running Ubuntu Server 7 with ISPConfig

Maybe you should try it too !

evital

i have done installing eBox on SUSE 10.3 Xen (dom0)

eBox acting as a Firewall for all my Virtual Machines. I have tested all basic features, working very well.


If you still need help on this please give me your network layout how you want to use eBox on your Xen layer, so that I can help you out how to change Xen configuration files.

Thanks for the great product..
