A NAV virtual appliance

We've created a virtual appliance in OVF format for those who want to get quickly started with NAV. Most popular virtualization environments can import this appliance.

The appliance runs 64-bit Debian GNU/Linux 6 (a.k.a. Squeeze), with NAV installed from the packages available at http://pkg-nav.alioth.debian.org/. This also means that NAV is easily upgradeable using Debian's aptitude or apt-get tools.

Download

Download the appliance from eske (UNINETT's cloud storage “Dropbox clone”)

What the local admin needs to do after starting the appliance

  • log in as 'root' and change the root-password (passwd)
  • add a decent email-address to forward root's email to in /etc/aliases
  • fix the network-configuration (/etc/network/interfaces) and restart network with /etc/init.d/network restart
  • add networks that shall be allowed to talk to the appliance in /etc/hosts.allow (both clients to the NAV webinterface and network equipment that send SNMP traps)
  • also fix hostname/domainname in the following files: /etc/hosts, /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/mailname and /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf
