|
|
## Project Overview
|
||
|
|
This project documents the setup of a basic home lab environment using VirtualBox and Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Environment Details
|
||
|
|
- **Host System**: Windows 11
|
||
|
|
- **Hypervisor**: Oracle VirtualBox
|
||
|
|
- **Guest OS**: Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS
|
||
|
|
- **Resources Allocated**:
|
||
|
|
- CPU: 2 cores
|
||
|
|
- RAM: 2GB

||
|
|
- Storage: 20GB
|
||
|
|
- Network: NAT + Host-only adapter
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Setup Steps
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 1. VirtualBox Installation ✅
|
||
|
|
- Successfully installed VirtualBox
|
||
|
|
- Created project directory structure
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 2. Ubuntu Server VM Creation ✅
|
||
|
|
- [x] Download Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS ISO
|
||
|
|
- [x] Create new VM in VirtualBox
|
||
|
|
- [x] Configure VM settings (CPU, RAM, Storage)
|
||
|
|
- [x] Configure network adapters
|
||
|
|
- [x] Install Ubuntu Server
|
||
|
|
- [x] Basic system configuration
|
||
|
|
- [x] Network setup
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 3. Network Configuration (In Progress)
|
||
|
|
- [ ] Configure NAT adapter for internet access
|
||
|
|
1. Verify IP address configuration:
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
ip addr show
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
2. Test internet connectivity:
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
ping 8.8.8.8
|
||
|
|
ping google.com
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- [ ] Configure Host-only adapter for direct host communication
|
||
|
|
1. Verify second network interface:
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
ip addr show
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
2. Test host connectivity:
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
# From Ubuntu VM - ping your Windows host IP
|
||
|
|
ping <windows-host-ip>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# From Windows host - ping your Ubuntu VM IP
|
||
|
|
ping <ubuntu-vm-ip>
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- [ ] Document network configuration:
|
||
|
|
- NAT adapter IP: _____________
|
||
|
|
- Host-only adapter IP: _____________
|
||
|
|
- Default gateway: _____________
|
||
|
|
- DNS servers: _____________
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 4. Basic Security Setup (Pending)
|
||
|
|
- [ ] Create non-root user with sudo privileges
|
||
|
|
- [ ] Configure SSH access
|
||
|
|
- [ ] Set up UFW firewall
|
||
|
|
- [ ] Implement basic security hardening
