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.
Just in case anyone was wondering I was able to get this setup quite easily and is now servicing my headphones requests quite nicely. I used a 60GB VM and according to Linux it is using about 30GB of that VM for the full MusicBrainz database. Great work and thanks for doing this. I may still donate to help the cause for the private server, but since the issues started with the API blocking headphones has been almost unusable I wanted to give this a go first and see where things were at.
