Instructions for creating a WeBWorK Virtual Machine (.OVA) Image
Note that the resulting .ova image can be used to create a virtual machine
Build the server on VMWare Workstation (Player or Pro)
- 4 GBk disk
- 1 GB memory
- 1 cpu
The above resources are very minimal and correspond to a AWS t2-micro level machine which is free.
- Download the ubuntu live CD (server version)
- Install following the standard directions with the following options
- Don't partition disks separately
- User name: wwadmin
- login: wwadmin
- password: wwadmin
- Computer name: wwserver
Do not reboot the system - first remove VMWare guest additions More details on this.
Then boot. After system boots check that openssh-server is installed run
sudo lsof -i -P -n | grep LISTEN
to check if it is listening on port 22 If not install openssh-server
sudo apt install openssh-server
Now on the host set up port forwarding. Find the ip address of your guest The Guest IP is the IP address your guest WeBWorK server is using. You can find it (after you login) by entering the command
$ ip address show
and looking at the output, something like "inet 10.0.2.15/24 ..." (not the LOOPBACK inet 127.0.0.1/8 address). Here the ip address is 10.0.2.15.
- set password for webworkWrite (wwadmin)
- add practice users and jsmith/jsmith to myTestCourse
- add the standard sets to myTestCourse
- implement all options A-E except C (run WW through SSL)
Remove openssh-server
sudo apt remove openssh-sftp-server
