netcup KVM

Note: AstLinux 1.3.4 or later is required

VM Host Specifications: netcup

AstLinux Board Type:

  • “genx86_64-vm” (VGA video console)

VM Guest Recommended Options:

  • Plan: VPS 200 G8
  • Memory: 2 GB
  • CPU: 1 Processor Core
  • Virtual Storage: 20 GB SSD (RAID10)
  • 40 TB Traffic

Configuration:

After you created an account, netcup might verify your account via telephone. After that you'll get your creditentials for logging in their Servercontrolpanel. After login you'll need to select your server. In my case a Debian installation was pre-installed.

Now go to Media/DVD Drive:

Media

At the bottom of this page you'll find FTP credentials to upload your AstLinux ISO image via FTP into the cdrom directory:

FTP Upload

After the upload the ISO will appear in Own DVDs:

Own DVDs

Select it activate DVD boot mode and enter your Servercontrolpanel password. Then go to Media/Local Disk:

Harddisk

Delete the pre-installed harddisk and enter again your Servercontrolpanel password.

Now you can start your vServer and start with your normal AstLinux ISO installation:

Select the “Install” installer menu, follow the dialogs to install an AstLinux image to your virtual disk.

Tip -> Note the “IPv4 Address:” on the screen and access the VM with SSH or an HTTPS browser from anywhere.

When finished select “Shutdown” in the installer menu. Then go to Media/DVD Drive and eject the DVD. Then start the vServer again and complete the installation via the WebGUI.

Warning -> It is important to enable the Firewall as soon as possible. Create rules with limited access for TCP ports 22,80,443 (SSH/HTTP/HTTPS) from trusted public addresses.

Tip -> If you have trouble getting an IP-address via DHCP do not fiddle with AstLinux, but instead contact the netcup support via their Customer Control Panel.
