KVM Guest Operating System
The KVM Guest is a sparse installation.
KVM Guest Template
Install Debian
Define your disk layout, then go ahead and install Debian. Make sure this is an installation with a minimum of packages. Once Debian has been installed, leave the template alone.
KVM Guest Clone
Clone Your Template
Start by cloning your template.
Configure the New Guest
Root Password
Reset your root passwd.
passwd
Hostname
Your new system will need a new hostname.
- /etc/hostname
- /etc/hosts
sed -i 's/stretch-template/clone/g' /etc/hosts sed -i 's/stretch-template/clone/g' /etc/hostname
Unique sshd keys
Make sure your clone does indeed have unique ssh keys. This is a really important step when cloning. Consider all your clones had the same ssh keys, that would really be a mess.
rm /etc/ssh/ssh_host_* dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server service sshd restart
Update
Since the template can be quite old, you might as well update the new system.
apt-get update apt-get upgrade
