# Create a Virtual Machine

TODO: nixify

```shell
dd if=/dev/zero of=salt.hda bs=1M count=1 seek=10239
wget http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/8.7.1/amd64/iso-cd/debian-8.7.1-amd64-netinst.iso
kvm -hda salt.hda -m 1024 -smp 2 -net nic,model=e1000 -net user -cdrom
```

Now run the Debian installation. Hostname: `server1`

```shell
brctl addbr br-up1
ifdown eth0
brctl addif br-up1 eth0
dhclient br-up1
```

# Bootstrap

Configure a recent version, eg. *stretch*

```shell
apt-get install salt-master salt-minion
```

Set `master` to `localhost` in `/etc/salt/minion`, restart the
minion. `salt-key -A` to accept the minion in the master.

```shell
salt \* state.apply
```

Then accept the container minions:
```shell
salt-key -A
```

And again:
```shell
salt \* state.apply
```
