I just did this myself and created a full installable ISO image based upon Turnkey Linux (which is in turn Ubuntu based). You should be able to download the iso image and install to either physical hardware or onto any virtualization hypervisor (VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, etc), then run one script and you'll be done.
The ISO image can be found at www.aceshome.com. Here are the steps necessary:
- Download the ISO and install it somewhere
- Log in as root
- Run the /root/setup_musicbrainz script which will download and import the latest database exports. This script may take several hours to run.
I just did this yesterday but the machine seem to be running quite well so far.
BTW, I have also build a similar installable system that includes HeadPhones, CouchPotato, Sickbeard, and SabNZBd if you're interested. That is also available on my website.
This is awesome! I just started setup_musicbrainz in VirtualBox but had a few questions since I don't know a lot about VMs or linux
- What size virtual hdd would you recommend? I initially did 8GB but I think it failed due to insufficient space. I did get the mirror page to start up but of course it couldn't find any artists
- there's a patch file on your website, do I need to do something with that and if so what/how?
