Virtual Machines¶
Virtual machines (VM's)are very powerful for software debugging and testing. Each developer can have their own personal VM, develop software locally and then commit working code to the repository. They can then access the team's shared VM, update it from Subversion and run the code there for everyone to access.
List of Virtual Machines and Hosts¶
Some of these are hosting web servers and so are shown as clickable links. The others are accessed via ssh only. Not all machines are necessarily currently active. We have tried to indicate which physical PC is hosting them but this has not been verified.

Obsolete¶
The Dell OptiPlex 755 USFF (little box) belongs to Mark, is not longer needed as a host, and has been taken out of service.
Building a generic Ubuntu LAMP server¶
The above page shows how to build a server from scratch as a virtual machine.
Networking Config¶
For these VM's running on servers in our two Project Engineer offices, the following additional network configuration is needed:
Gateway: 128.113.219.254 DNS: 128.113.28.68, 128.113.26.250 (not automatic) Netmask: 255.255.0.0
VirtualBox¶
The lab currently uses VirtualBox from Oracle for creating virtual machines. The above wiki page has more information.
VMware¶
This page has information on usage of VMware for virtualization. Note that we currently (2019) do not use VMware so it is maintained for history and possible future use.
