### Start PBot VM Host Server

### Test PBot VM
|

In your instance of PBot, the `sh` and `cc`, etc, commands should now produce output:

### (Optional) Install Alternative Vagrant Box
|
||||
|
||||
To install an alternative Vagrant box with your preferred OS/distribution, search for one at https://app.vagrantup.com/boxes/search
|
||||
and then run the following command to download its Vagrantfile:
|
||||
and then make a new directory, e.g. FreeBSD-14, and copy one of the existing PBot-VM Vagrantfiles into
|
||||
this directory, and then edit the `config.vm.box` line to point at the chosen OS/distribution, e.g. `freebsd/FreeBSD-14.0-CURRENT`.
|
||||
|
||||
Some boxes may have specific settings that you may need to copy over. To obtain and examine the box's Vagrantfile:

||||
|
||||
vagrant init <OS/distribution>

as `root` and run `shutdown now -h`. Then run `virsh start pbot-vm`. (Using `shutdown now -r` to reboot
|
||||
will not initialize the new serial/vsock devices.) Login as `root` when the virtual machine boots back up.
|
||||
|
||||
### Install software
|
||||
Now we can install any software and programming languages we want to make available
|
||||
in the virtual machine. Use the `dnf search` or `zypper se` command or your distribution's documentation
|
||||
to find packages. I will soon make available a script to install all package necessary for all
|
||||
languages supported by PBot.
|
||||
|
||||
To make use of VM sockets, install the `socat` package:
|
||||
|
||||
Fedora:
|
||||
|
||||
guest$ dnf install socat
|
||||
|
||||
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed:
|
||||
|
||||
guest$ zypper in socat
|
||||
|
||||
For the C programming language you will need at least these:
|
||||
|
||||
Fedora:
|
||||
|
||||
guest$ dnf install libubsan libasan gdb gcc clang
|
||||
|
||||
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed:
|
||||
|
||||
guest$ zypper in libubsan1 libasan8 gdb gcc clang
|
||||
|
||||
Install packages for other languages as desired.
|
||||
|
||||
### Install Perl
|
||||
Now we need to install Perl on the guest. This allows us to run the PBot VM Guest server
|
||||
script.
|
||||
|
||||
Fedora:
|
||||
|
||||
guest$ dnf install perl-interpreter perl-lib perl-IPC-Run perl-JSON-XS perl-English perl-IPC-Shareable
|
||||
|
||||
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed:
|
||||
|
||||
guest$ zypper in perl-IPC-Run perl-JSON-XS make gcc
|
||||
guest$ cpan i IPC::Shareable
|
||||
|
||||
This installs the minium packages for the Perl interpreter (note we used `perl-interpreter` instead of `perl`),
|
||||
as well as a few Perl modules.
|
||||
|
||||
### Install PBot VM Guest
|
||||
Next we install the PBot VM Guest server script that fosters communication between the virtual machine guest
|
||||
and the physical host system. We'll do this inside the virtual machine guest system, logged on as `root`
|
||||
@ -456,17 +412,16 @@ Once that's done, run the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
This will install `guest-server` to `/usr/local/bin/`, set up some environment variables and
|
||||
harden the guest system. Additionally, it'll autodetect your chosen OS/distribution and attempt
|
||||
to run any provisioning scripts from the `./guest/provision` directory. If no provisioning
|
||||
scripts are available, it will warn you to manually install the packages for the `cc` languages
|
||||
you want to use. You may use `./guest/provision/tumbleweed` as a reference.
|
||||
to run any provisioning scripts from the [`./guest/provision`](../applets/pbot-vm/guest/provision) directory.
|
||||
|
||||
After running the `setup-guest` script, we need to make the environment changes take effect:
|
||||
|
||||
guest$ source /root/.bashrc
|
||||
|
||||
We no longer need the `/tmp/guest/` stuff. We can delete it:
|
||||
|
||||
guest$ rm -rf guest/
|
||||
### Install software
|
||||
If you received the message `!! No provisioning script available for $OS. Install packages manually. !!`,
|
||||
you must manually install any software and programming languages you want to make available
|
||||
in the virtual machine. To do so, follow one of the [PBot VM provisioning scripts](../applets/pbot-vm/guest/provision/) as a guide.

Let's make sure everything's working up to this point. On the host, there should
