Using Self-Installers

Note: Before creating an instance, you may want to list available images with yum groupinfo selfinst-catalog.

As an example, we shall create a container instance named codiad-installer-ct and install Codiad into it.

1. Download the self-installer to the host:

   # yum install bitnami-codiad-selfinst

2. Create and start an Ubuntu container first:

   # prlctl create codiad-installer-ct --vmtype ct --ostemplate ubuntu-14.04-x86_64 --config vswap.2048MB

   # prlctl start codiad-installer-ct

3. Configure the network adapter:

   # prlctl set codiad-installer-ct --device-add net --dhcp yes --network Bridged

4. Copy the downloaded self-installer into the container. In this example, the self-installer was downloaded to /vz/self-installers/bitnami-codiad-2.6.5-1-linux-x64-installer.run.
5. Launch headless installation inside the container:

   # vzctl exec codiad-installer-ct <path_to_installer_inside_container>'

The instance is up and running.
