Chapter 7: syscalls

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, you should be able to run CertUtil -hashfile PATH_TO/parts.sha256 SHA256. Or use Cygwin.
    • Unzip the .zip file - your zip program (like 7-zip) should automatically find all files
    • Confirm the resulting VM image is intact chaos-engineering-VM.sha256
  • There should be two files in a new subfolder: a .ovf and .vmdk one
• Import the VM image into VirtualBox:
  • In VirtualBox, click File -> Import Appliance
  • 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
