Need to get 66.2 MB of archives. After this operation, 188 MB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] ... debian>$ sudo reboot
2) ssh to debian system and download netinstall iso to local iso directory
debian>$ mkdir iso debian>$ cd ~/iso debian>$ wget -q https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-cd/debian-10.10.0-amd64-netinst.iso
3) Login to Web Console from your workstation (PC or Mac)
- Add IP address for debian system in your /etc/hosts file So you can type following URL in the browser.
% curl -I http://debian:9090 HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently Content-Type: text/html Location: https://debian:9090/ Content-Length: 73 X-DNS-Prefetch-Control: off Referrer-Policy: no-referrer X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy: same-origin
Chrome --> https://debian:9090/ --> Advanced --> Proceed to debian
!!! WARNING !!! Activate default networks in virtual machines to avoid following error
Creation of VM vm1 failed show less ERROR Requested operation is not valid: network 'default' is not active Domain installation does not appear to have been successful. If it was, you can restart your domain by running: virsh --connect qemu:///system start vm1 otherwise, please restart your installation.
4) Create VM from Web Console
Virtual Machines --> Create VM Name: vm1 Connection: System Installation type: Local install media Installation source: /home/tchung/iso/debian-10.10.0-amd64-netinst.iso Operation system: Debian 10 (buster) Storage: Create new volume Size: 20 GiB Memory: 2 GiB [x] Immediately start VM
5) Install Debian 10 on virtual machine as you do in physical machine
6) ssh to virtual machine (vm1) and confim you can ping
- Add IP address for vm1 in your /etc/hosts file on debian system So you can ssh to vm1 instead of IP address
debian>$ ssh vm1
vm1>$ ping www.google.com
... works!
