Quail

Quail is a KVM virtual machine created to run the Wildsong web sites when I decided I no longer wanted to pay for a cloud based host. I think Tektonic service is great but I am economizing. I have free co-location service and I have Comcast Business too, so I have other viable options.

History

2016-Jun-20 - Upgraded from wheezy to jessie and switched from apache to nginx

2016-Feb-14 - Migrating to vagrant/virtualbox.

2015-Mar-21 - Cloned from Hub.

Hardware

Currently configured with 1 CPU, 1 GB RAM, 10GB hard drive.

Software

Debian 7 (Wheezy) built by cloning Hub in virt-manager.

Then added apache, mysql and friends with this.

apt-get install mysql-server phpmyadmin

The ssh keys should be different than the Tektonic machine. No need to copy them here too.

cd /var/www
mkdir wordpress wiki
wget http://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.24/mediawiki-1.24.1.tar.gz

Migration from Tektonic

I don't need a full email set up here yet. I use gmail for wildsong.biz email right now.

• Complete the migration of HuPI first. See Hub.
• Copy MySQL databases for wiki and wordpress.
• Install mediawiki
• Install wordpress
• Update DNS entries to point to Quail.
