VirtualBox Setup Overview

Here's what we want to accomplish:

  • Set up the virtual machine based on this release of this distro using the Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager GUI.
  • Get both NAT and host-only networking. The former allows easier setup on my less-secure workstation. The latter allows a fixed IP address to be used on a machine behind a bastion host where we do our continuous integration builds.
  • Install the minimum number of package needed for an msr-safe build and test cycle.
  • Demonstrate how to move the vm behind the bastion host and then use the VirtualBox command line interface to set up execution there.
  • Show how to set up ssh keys to allow automated github updates and build scripts.

Assumptions:

  • VirtualBox is already installed on the workstation and bastion host.
  • A modest amount of familiarity with the Linux environment.
