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?
I am glad it'll help at least one person!
Excellent questions, and some that I should have mentioned in my original post.
For the virtual hdd, I think I specified 80GB when installing mine but have no idea what I really needed. I'm not around my machine to check what I actually used though but will try and remember to check in the next couple of days and post back.
For the patch file, no... you do not need that. The patch file is only for people who want to patch an existing turnkey linux core machine into a musicbrainz server (I would be that is no-one here).
Lastly, for everyone... after I setup my copy of this I have not checked to see if replication is running. I'll check that when I return home and post back instructions if that needs to be done manually.
