I'm running a number of Debian guest vservers on 2.6.13-vs2.0.1-pre2-686 Debian host. It's version util-vserver-0.30.209, I think. Below informal cut & paste illustrates some of the gotchas I ran into (ignore v64 suddenly becoming v65, that's just a slip of the mouse). The process is probably pretty moronic, so I welcome any comments on how to improve it. In closing, a big thanks to all vserver developers out there.

ERROR: Could not download the debootstrap package from /var/tmp/debootstrap.rIhMnS/debootstrap.deb Usually, this means that Debian released a new version which is unknown to util-vserver and removed the known ones. To fix this, go to http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debootstrap/ (or a nearby mirror) and search the URL for the most recent *.deb package matching your platform. Then, put this URL into /usr/local/etc/vservers/.defaults/apps/debootstrap/uri and retry the vserver-build command again. rm -rf /usr/local/etc/vservers/.defaults/vdirbase/v64 /usr/local/etc/vservers/v64 # apt-get install debootstrap Reading Package Lists...
