Koha-Community

[mifantrax]

I would like to see Koha-Community available for proxmox, there is a OVF appliance available but i had no good luck converting it.

http://koha-community.org/

If anyone can suggest a guide on how to do it that would be great also.

Thank you.

Send the link to the OVF appliance and I will tell you how to run it on Proxmox VE.

Dear Tom Thank you,
Here is the link to the page
http://kylehall.info/index.php/projects/koha/koha-virtual-appliance/

This is the link to the OVF files
http://sourceforge.net/projects/koha-va/files/Koha_3.8.x/

Thanks for any kind of help.

Basically, you just need to extract the virtual disk file from this archive and add it to an new created KVM VM.

Create a new VM, here is an example (my VM is using VMID 232):

qm config 232

boot: cdn
bootdisk: virtio0
cores: 1
ide2: none,media=cdrom
memory: 1024
name: koha
net0: e1000=92:E6:3E:57:0D:23,bridge=vmbr0
ostype: l26
sockets: 1
virtio0: local:232/vm-232-disk-1.qcow2,cache=writeback

Download (or copy) the ova file to /var/lib/vz/images/232/

Extract:

cd [COLOR=#3E3E3E]/var/lib/vz/images/232/
[/COLOR]
tar -xvf Koha_3.8_Virtual_Appliance_-_Configured.ova

Remove the empty virtual disk, convert the vmdk to qcow2 and converted Koha disk.

rm vm-232-disk-1.qcow2

qemu-img convert -O qcow2 Koha\ Virtual\ Appliance-disk1.vmdk vm-232-disk-1.qcow2

Thats it. Before you start, you can make a snapshot, so you can reset your test box whenever needed.

Then just hit "start".

Wow, thank you so much "tom", i will do that on my test box as soon as i get to the office.

The info is detailed and clear.

I will let you know about my progress.
