Project Unix Lab

Learning in own lab environment sometimes is more effective than in production. Today available technology offering possibilities to reproduce architecture of Internet, private networks, routers and servers in virtual environment. That all is an application areas of Unix system.

This project is a recipe how that Unix Lab can by created for all. Our goals is build most effective and minimalis environment that allows run virtual systems and network which you need.

Project Assumptions

not out-of-box solutions (custom setup)
all in one hardware box (arch amd64)
no GUI
build at least cost (minimal RAM consumption)
speed and security is secondary (education purpose)
easy to maintain, only core open source projekt (complex configuration testing inside the lab)
use nested virtualization (testing different hypervisor configuration inside)
