Every once in a while, I somehow convince myself that I can make do without my 32gb Monster Notebook, and repurpose it as a server (which I have always regretted and reverted back). Here is one of those adventures using it as a virtualization server for proxmox.

• clone from the prodsys image.
• adjust RAM and CPU cores.
• Hard disk can be left at 150GB
• install vim
• change hostname in /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts
• reboot
• allow root login in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

PermitRootLogin yes

• update /etc/network/interface with a static ip

<pre> source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

auto lo iface lo inet loopback

allow-hotplug ens18 iface ens18 inet static address 10.0.1.40 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 10.0.0.0 gateway 10.0.1.1 broadcast 10.0.1.255

</pre>

• reboot

• *optional* Mount airport extreme disk.

<pre> mkdir /mnt/airport mount -t cifs //10.0.1.1/MB3 /mnt/airport/ -o username=dendiz,sec=ntlm,uid=root,password=<passwd> echo '//10.0.1.1/MB3 /mnt/airport cifs username=dendiz,sec=ntlm,uid=root,iocharset=utf8,password=<password> 0 0' >> /etc/fstab </pre>
