FreeBSD based distro for virtual hosting platform and appliance
2020-10 upd: we reached the first fundraising goal and rented a server in Hetzner for development! Thank you for donating !
2021-17 upd: NO-o-o, project is not stalled and not dead ;-) A large iteration is performed to implement and stabilize the API. The final version will be merged into ClonOS. See: one,two, three.
ClonOS installation.
- Download installer image and burn it to DVD, or make a bootable USB drive
- Insert installation media into a computer that you want to install ClonOS on.
Warning: all data on the hard drive you selected will be erased upon ClonOS installation! - ClonOS uses bsdinstall as installer (you can refer to the corresponding documentation) with two changes:
- Missing item with UFS file system on partitioning stage
- Additional components: clonos, do not unset it ;-) -->
- Also, make sure that you use the FQDN as a name (please add domain suffix):
ClonOS setup
Be serious about network configuration, as further work depends on the correct network settings
If all the steps executed sucessfully, you can start working with ClonOS by typing server IP address in your browser: http://IP
Default username AND password: admin
If you have problems with the server network, you can change it using the standard procedure in FreeBSD via /etc/rc.conf file
Please refer to the relevant documentation: 11.5. Setting Up Network Interface Cards
If you have problem with CBSD/Nat settings, please use CBSD command to setup nodeip settings and natcfg submenu: cbsd initenv-tui as root
Keep in mind! The sshd daemon in CBSD running by default on 22222 port, not 22. You can change this via /etc/rc.conf file and apply: service sshd restart
