@ -65,3 +65,72 @@ Add a new one, incrementing the index, and fill in the rest of the information.
For the IP address if the last segment (ABC in this: 193.1.99.ABC) is less than 100 then add a leading ``0`` to it.
This is so that it can be easily sorted.
## Login to Proxmox
Login to Proxmox (TODO: insert link to accessing Proxmox here)
## Create Container Using the Base LXC Image
The Proxmox documentation for LXC's is available [here][proxmox_lxc].
Top right there is a button [Create CT], that brings up a window.
Each section below is one of the tabs in the window.
### General
#### Hostname
This is the **Name** of the server, lowercase.
#### Unprivilaged
Ensure this is ticked.
#### Nesting
Ensure this is ticked.
#### SSH Public Keys
Enter the ``root`` pub ssh key.
This is used to login to teh container later.
### Template
Select the container image, most likely ``nixos-system-x86_64-linux.tar.xz``.
### Disks
#### Storage
Most likely it is ``main_pool``, it should have a significant amount of storage available.
**DO NOT** use ``local-zfs``, this is on Proxmox's own drive and not suited for container data.
#### Disk Size
Self-explanatory, how much space you want to give teh container.
A minimum of 30Gb is suggested.
### CPU
One core minimum, larger servers will require up to 6 or so.
### Memory
Nixos will happily run on 512Mb if its load is not too intensive
### Network
#### Bridge
The main bridge we use is ``vmbr0`` which is for most servers as it connects to the normal Skynet DMZ.
We also have ``vmbr1`` which is for ``skynet.skynet.ie`` and connects to Skynet-EXT DMZ.
This is due to our users needing ssh access.
#### IPv4
##### IPv5/CIDR
This is the **IP** followed by ``/26``.
For example ``193.1.99.75/26``
##### Gateway
The main gateway we use is ``193.1.99.65``.
There is a secondary one for ``skynet.skynet.ie`` which is ``193.1.96.161``.
### DNS
You can either use ``use host settings`` or fill in ``193.1.99.120`` and ``193.1.99.109``.
### Confirm
Use this as a chance to review all the options.
There are a few gotcha's outlined above that ye do have to look over.
#### Start after created
Tick this box if you want it to boot up immediately after being installed.
