\t\t\t\tThere is a VM appliance, that I run \u2026, and that appliance uses Oracle Linux Server as its OS.<\/p>\n
I want the appliance’s hostname to be oracle000<\/em> \u2013 it’s going to be my Oracle Databaser server anyway.<\/p>\n Q: The appliance’s network connection to outside \u2013 how to activate it?<\/p>\n Initially the appliance’s network connection seems to be down \u2013 what’s wrong?\u00a0The “Terminals” on\u00a0the top bar let you activate the connection. BTW: By default this is a NAT connection \u2013 so accessing the appliance network-wise from outside is a bit weird \u2013 but we are going to replace the NAT set-up with a “more natural” one in a minute.<\/p>\n Q: How to access the appliance at its own IP address from within the LAN or even further outside?<\/p>\n Within “Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager” I set this VM Network Adapter’s “Attached to<\/em>” to “Bridged Adapter<\/em>“. Now my LAN’s DHCP server (i.e. the router) assigns an IP address on the LAN to the VM, and actually I told the router to always use the same IP addresss, and I also named the network device\u00a0<\/em>there oracle000<\/em>.<\/p>\n Q: ssh\u00a0w\/o account name from within the appliance to outside and from outside the appliance into it<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you do not mention an account with the ssh command, it assumes you want to reach an account by the same name on the remote side. But you are able to configure another account name on a particular remote host via an entry in a local ssh related file:\u00a0$HOME\/.ssh\/config . You can do that\u00a0<\/span>on the appliance for reaching other hosts; you can do that on the other hosts around in order to reach the appliance’s main account oracle.<\/p>\n This is one of the possible kinds of entries on $HOME\/.ssh\/config :<\/p>\n Q: rsync over ssh<\/p>\n Add this to $HOME\/.bash_profile :<\/p>\n Q: installing my favourite tools<\/p>\n My VM host has a couple of handy utilities, that I am always eager to install:<\/p>\n Q: How to adapt the timezone to e.g. Europe\/Berlin? Timezone-wise the appliance runs in EST, and I want it to run in Europe\/Berlin:<\/p>\nHost 10.0.2.2\n\u00a0 \u00a0 User xyz<\/pre>\n
export RSYNC_RSH=ssh<\/pre>\n
$ ssh 10.0.2.2 # logging into the VM host\n\u2026\n$ rsync -va 10.0.2.2:bin $HOME\n$ rsync -va 10.0.2.2:Computers $HOME<\/pre>\n
