Author: Bill Toulas •
Tags: centos, debian, fedora, opensuse, suse, ubuntu, virtualization •
Comments: 7 It is not an uncommon situation, for early adopters of newly introduced concepts and technologies, to be totally confused when these can fundamentally change the ways of developing and delivering services. Especially when everybody talks about something like Docker, and how awesome and game changing it is. This confusion happens when we try things early on and rushing straight to testing them without grasping the whole concept and background of this newly introduced technology.

How to get Oracle Virtual Box 5.0 installed on (Ubuntu) Linux
Author: Bill Toulas •
Tags: linux, ubuntu, virtualbox, virtualization •
Comments: 0 Oracle's Virtual Box is one of the easiest to use virtual machines that run under Linux. Although we Linux users have reasons not to use Oracle's products, the particular piece of software is maybe the best choice we can make in that area and at least it's open source. If you want to use other free software alternatives to Oracle's VM, you can check VMware Workstation, QEMU, or GNOME Boxes (currently works only on Fedora).

Debian Wheezy: Split and resize Xen disk image
Author: aziods •
Tags: debian, linux, virtualization •
Comments: 0 Background One of my Xen virtual servers needed to have its 400G disk split and resized over the weekend, and I wanted to keep downtime to a minimal. The disk had 240G used, 235G of which was a /backup directory, and the remaining 5G dedicated to a regular Debian Linux installation. I wanted to split the disk into a two disks - a 20GB disk containing the Linux system, and a 300G disk to mount as /backup. Then I could apply my DRBD setup to replicate that 300G backup partition to a separate 2nd backup machine.
