how can i run a allstar server via oracle virtual box plus im running off a rented server and im trying to run a server so i can have my own HUB
Welcome @Richard27,
Take a look at AWIA: Another way to install ASL2 Beta. That’s the best and most friendly to install the ASL2 beta these days.
ok but i want to install it on a VPS that i have Oracle VB on not on my actual computer and the VPS that i rent is windows
There’s a good chance it’ll work for that. Install Debian 12 on it. And then follow the read me instructions.
ok is there anything else i need to fallow before i go though all of this so i don’t miss anything or have to back trace?
Install Debian 12 first. Then go for it and let all of us here know how it went. Good luck.
ok so now that i have it working im using the KC9KCC version and i don’t know how to basically transfer my node over because my pi died it was 42707 and i want to put it on a virtual box which its ready i just don’t know what to do and i tried to send you a email but your email on QRZ doesn’t seem to work
Richard,
You have to configure your new node from scratch as you lost the old config. Everything you need to know for a basic node setup is in your allstarlink.org account.
However, this thread is old. If you are installing ASL2 you might want to take a look at ASL3 instead. Have a look at https://allstarlink.github.io
i already installed 2 is there anything different between 2 and 3?
and how do i skip all the user manual stuff i just want the ISO file
There are MANY changes for ASL3. Don’t skip the manual or you’ll be back here asking questions that were covered in the manual.
ok but i need the image first before i can use any info from the manual
Your question is answered in the manual…
There is not an x86_64 ISO image for ASL3. You install Debian 12, then load the apt packages. There are step by step instructions in the manual.
so basically i need to install bookworm which for me to make that work like i want i want to use a GUI and if i remember right it said NOT to install a desktop environment so then is that explained in the manual because im trying to still do this on a virtual machine and without an ISO file the machine won’t run
You’ll download the Debian 12 ISO and pick your install type from there. Technically, there’s no reason I’m aware of that you can’t use the desktop gui, but for server based installations, it is usually overkill and can put a drain on resources. Having said that, I have done a Pi install and added the gui as I have a customized touchscreen version of Allmon that I run.
ok so then debain 12 bookworm right?
it says “vboxuser is not in the sudores file” so how do i fix that?
