Build a Debian Nutanix VM

[Cowboy Denny]

Here are the steps to building a Debian Virtual Machine on Nutanix

 

 

Now we PowerUp the VM and begin configuring the operating system

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NEVER EVER EVER choose Guided - use entire disk (you will never ever be able to add more space)

 

 

OR

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SSH into box after the reboot

ADD User to sudoers

log in as root (or type su to switch to root)

add user to sudo

echo 'export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
usermod -aG sudo username

FIX NTP sync

sudo vi /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf

Edit the NTP Server detail

[Time]
NTP=ur.ntp.srv
FallbackNTP=ur.fallbackntp.srv

Then

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo timedatectl set-ntp off
sudo timedatectl set-ntp on

and you can check it with

timedatectl status

FIX Repo

vi /etc/apt/sources.list

Make sure you have these following not commented out

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main non-free-firmware
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main non-free-firmware

deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main non-free-firmware
deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main  non-free-firmware

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates main non-free-firmware
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates main non-free-firmware

save the file

Try and run

sudo apt-get update -y

if successful then try and run

sudo apt-get upgrade -y

If you want you could reboot

sudo systemctl reboot
