Description Pascal Rapicault

2015-10-28 11:39:11 EDT

In EGerrit, we need to be able to start Gerrit servers to test against. Also we will likely end up running our Eclipse tests there.
This means that this vserver will run a form of virtualisation (vagrant or docker), and will also be connected to our the EGerrit hudson as a slave.

Could you please help us with this by providing us a vserver.
I would appreciate if the vserver could be setup with opensuse 13.

I'm sure you've thought of this, but Hudson should be able to download the Gerrit .war file, launch it and give you a shiny new TCP port to test against.

If hudson is able to connect outside, which I believe is the case, then everything will be fine. We already have a vagrant recipe that creates a box and sets up servers: http://git.eclipse.org/c/egerrit/org.eclipse.egerrit.git/tree/org.eclipse.egerrit.releng

We typically allocate 4G RAM and a 30G disk.  Is this sufficient?

The server is ready, but I'll need your public key for SSH access.

Your server is set up at hostname egerrit.eclipse.org.  A local and border firewall are currently blocking all access except ports 22, 80 and 443. Please let me know if you need other ports opened.

Environment is OpenSuSE 13.1 with 4G RAM, 2 CPU cores and a 30G disk. You can use the 'yast' tool (as root) to configure most aspects of the system.
