"LinuX Containers (LXC) provide lightweight virtualization that lets you isolate processes and resources without the need to provide instruction interpretation mechanisms and other complexities of full virtualization."
In this tutorial I provide step by step instructions to install LXC on an Ubuntu Natty server.
Basic *nix knowledge is assumed though.
Installing gitorious wasn't as straightforward as I hoped, so here's another howto. It's a slightly modified and updated version of Christian Johansen's blog.
The main problem seemed to be Ruby versions, so my advice is to stick to the versions I mention.
I did not install the main version of Gitorious, but a fork called "yousource", allowing me to make projects private, only readable by project contributors.
Most commands assume you're the root user.
Because I didn't get iFolder to run on Ubuntu directly, I installed an OpenSuSE LXC container and installed iFolder in that one.
This howto describes how to install OpenSuSE 11.3 inside an LXC container on an Ubuntu Natty Server. At the time of writing, OpenSuSE 11.4 is available, but iFolder isn't stable on it yet.
Basic *nix knowledge is assumed, I'm not going to tell you how to open vi (or whatever editor you prefer).
