Getting started

TL;DR

  • Install VirtualBox
  • Download the lastest release of the VM image to a location of your choice (make sure the files are all in the same directory)
  • Unzip the downloaded files
    • MacOS/Linux
      • (optional) Confirm checksums of downloaded parts with
        shasum -a 256 -c parts.sha256
        
      • Concatenate the parts into a single archive
        cat chaos-engineering-VM*.z* > vm.zip
        
      • Unzip it
        unzip vm.zip
        
      • Confirm the resulting VM image is intact
        shasum -a 256 -c chaos-engineering-VM.sha256
        
    • Windows
      • Confirm the checksums. On Windows 10, use Cygwin, WLS, or run the followin in a Windows command line (CMD):
        CertUtil -hashfile PATH_TO/parts.sha256 SHA256 
        
        Or use .
      • Unzip the .zip file - your zip program (like 7-zip) should automatically find all files
      • Confirm the resulting VM image is intact against chaos-engineering-VM.sha256
    • There should be two files in a new subfolder: a .ovf and .vmdk one
    • Pick the VM image file (the .ovf file) you downloaded and unzipped
    • Follow the wizard until completion
    • Start the VM and log in. The username and password are both chaos

Configuration

There is plenty of options you might want to tweak to fit your setup. Some of the recommended ones:

  • Configure sane defaults for the VM:
    • Right click your new VM and choose settings
    • In General -> Advanced -> Shared Clipboard check Bidirectional (default)
    • In System -> Motherboard choose 4096 MB of Base Memory (default)
    • In Display -> Video Memory choose at least 64MB (default)
    • In Display -> Remote Display uncheck Enable Server
    • In Display -> Graphics Controller choose what best suits your host OS
