EVE-NG Community edition sucks: you cannot even plug/unplug the wires virtually without restarting the nodes. You absolutely need the Professional edition, which does NOT come for free.
assuming virtualbox
you need quite a lot of storage, let’s take 100G thin
system --> more RAM system --> disable floppy system --> more CPUs system --> netsted VT disable audio network bridge
maybe don’t choose US for once, as you won’t get the chance to edit sources.list to point against your nearest mirror. rc.local actually installs loads of packages right on the first reboot.
while it finishes installing, take the chance to get that thing ready
add-apt-repository ppa:smartfinn/eve-ng-integration apt install eve-ng-integration
you can already reach the guest remotely through SSH as root
vi /etc/hosts x.x.x.x eveng evepro ssh eveng -l root
no need to tune SSHD, root is allowed already
#vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config #systemctl restart ssh
console & ssh login
root/eve
fix a few things – in case you didn’t choose your local mirror at install-time
cd /etc/apt/ mv sources.list sources.list.dist sed 's/us\.archive/md.archive/g' sources.list.dist > sources.list sed 's/us\.archive/fr.archive/g' sources.list.dist > sources.list sed 's/us\.archive/ru.archive/g' sources.list.dist > sources.list
upgrade the system & EVE-NG
lsb_release -a apt update apt full-upgrade apt install manpages man-db dpkg -l libguestfs-tools dpkg -l eve-ng-pro
and now that you have the latest kernel available, VBOX GUEST ADDITIONS
/sbin/rcvboxadd setup /sbin/rcvboxadd quicksetup all reboot apt autoremove --purge
web login
admin/eve
