What Is the CoLinux Virtual MusicBrainz Server?
The CoLinux Virtual MusicBrainz Server is variant of VirtualMusicBrainzServer using Cooperative Linux instead of VMWare to run the virtual machine image provided by MusicBrainz. This image contains a Linux environment fully configured with the latest release of the Server source code. If you want to experiment with the data, or try hacking on some new features, it is intended to be the fastest way to get up and running.
What's in the Image?
See VirtualMusicBrainzServer: we're using the same image.
Preparation
You first need to convert the virtual machine image for VMWare to a format adapted for coLinux.
Download the image using the link in VirtualMusicBrainzServer & extract the files
Convert the virtual disks split in 2Gb files to single virtual disks
- Be sure to have VMWare Server installed: you'll need the vmware-vdiskmanager tool which comes with it
- Assuming vmware-vdiskmanager is in your %PATH%, launch:
vmware-vdiskmanager -r MBServer-Root-000001-cl1.vmdk -t 0 MBServer-Root-000001-cl1-flattened.vmdk vmware-vdiskmanager -r MBServer-DB-000001-cl1.vmdk -t 0 MBServer-DB-000001-cl1-flattened.vmdk
Convert the new single virtual disks in VMWare format to QEmu raw format
- You need the QEmu qemu-img tool
- Assuming qemu-img is in your %PATH%, launch:
qemu-img convert MBServer-Root-000001-cl1-flattened.vmdk MBServer-Root.img qemu-img convert MBServer-DB-000001-cl1-flattened.vmdk MBServer-DB.img
Convert the QEmu raw virtual disks in coLinux raw format
- You need a win32 port of dd provided by unxutils
- Assuming dd is in your %PATH%, launch:
dd if=MBServer-Root.img of=MBServer-Root bs=512 skip=63 dd if=MBServer-DB.img of=MBServer-DB bs=512 skip=63
