Ubuntu setup

After a short toy with the idea that you can develop web service software for Ubunbtu on Windows7, using cygwin, VirtualBox, PuTTY etc I stopped being silly and installed Ubuntu. I had intended to dual boot, but it looks as though Ubuntu was not quite as gentle as it might have been, and Windows got in a tizzy, trying to recover disks, so I blew it away. The joy. It is worth revisiting windows occasionally to re-motivate yourself and renew your passion for opensource.

Setup general packages:

sudo apt-get remove unity-lens-shopping
# Also switch off amazon results on settings >> Privacy

cd dolab/

sudo ln -s /home/timp/git/dolab /usr/local/dolab

./manage.py syncdb

./manage.py runserver 0:8000

Virtualbox networking

Set up an Ubuntu server. call it psy. You should be able to ssh out from the box to the outside world. The problem is getting in.

VBoxManage modifyvm "psy" --natpf1 "guestssh,tcp,,22,,2222"
VBoxManage modifyvm "psy" --natpf1 "guesthttp,tcp,,8000,,8000"
VBoxManage modifyvm "psy" --natpf1 "guestjenkins,tcp,,80,,8080"

[],tcp|udp,[<hostip>],<hostport>,[<guestip>], <guestport>
