To generate debian images:
- debootstrap 1.0.26+ http://wiki.debian.org/Debootstrap
Optional: to speed up reinstalling images, have an apt-proxy such as apt-cacher-ng installed
To install all dependencies in debian squeeze, do:
apt-get install python python-yaml python-netaddr python-pexpect \ uml-utilities debootstrap apt-cacher-ng
Cassilda uses the regular distutils setup.py, install with:
sudo python ./setup.py install
It will put the cassilda python modules wherever your system-wide python installation needs it, and the documentation/examples in /usr/share/doc/Cassilda
Example session:
Launch the python (or ipython or bpython) interpreter as root
in a directory with sufficient space to store the generated
images:
# cd /tmp
# ipython
>>> import cassilda
## Load settings from a YAML cassilda profile
>>> c = cassilda.Cassilda(
"/usr/share/doc/Cassilda/examples/apache_mysql.cas")
## Install an image
>>> c.build("apache_server")
(output from cassilda)
## Install all images
>>> c.build("mysql_server")
>>> c.build("web_client")
## Run an image
>>> c.run("apache_server")
## Interact (with the console) of a running image
>>> c.interact('apache_server')
## Press the regular telnet escape char ^] to return
