Using the disk images

Using the disk image directly is intended for advanced cases or when the OVA file is not compatible. This will expand to 60GB.

In some cases, such as using ESXi, you may need to "reformat" the image to work. This can be done using vmkfstools -i input.vmdk output.vmdk. See VMWare docs for more information.

To use the disk image:

  1. Download the supported format: vmdk (VMware) or qcow2 (QEMU).
  2. Decompress them (unzip/gunzip).
  3. Move the disk image file to where your virtual machines are saved. Since the VM software will use this existing file as its storage disk, you may want to keep a copy of the original to avoid having to redownload a new disk image.
  4. Create a new machine (select either Alpine Linux 64-bit variant if available, or else "Other Linux (64-bit)") and choose the existing disk file that you have downloaded and moved.
  5. Configure the machine as described in the next section.

Here are the suggested defaults:

Hardware Value
Memory 512 MB
Video memory 16 MB
3D graphics off
CPUs 1
Network NAT
USB off
Audio off

When using NAT network type, port forwarding is required to access the web interface. The following allows you to access port 8001 on localhost that is forwarded to the VM's port 8001:

Name Host address Host port VM address VM port
Web Interface 127.0.0.1 8001 8001
