This website is dedicated to offering alternate VM's for the SWG-Source github project.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY, ALL of the VM's provided on this page are NOT supported by the SWG-Source project.
IF you want the offically supported VM please Download from this link.
Prerequisites
You will need to have Oracle VirtualBox installed on your host machine before you begin. VirtualBox version 6.1.27 is installed on each VM. So I recommend you download the current VirtualBox version 6.1.28 as well as the Expansion Pack. If you don't want to use VirtualBox you can also import the VM's into the current version of VMware Workstation.
Hardware recommendations: 6-8 core processor with 32GB of ram.
All of my pre-built VM's comes configured to use 16GB of ram, 6 cores. You can adjust the processor cores and memory in VirtualBox, depending on your own hardware.
Each VM's Desktop Enviornment is running cinnamon. Default resolution 1920x1200. (drag window to increase resolution, or go to Preferences, fonts and increase/decrease your Text scale factor. If you want xfce, gnome, etc.. you can add that yourself.
Each VM will come configured using 200GB of storage space. SDD's are cheap and you can throw this on a 250GB m.2 sdd etc. pretty easy.
I will include Clonezilla on the boot grub menu. So you can boot into Clonezilla from the VM and clone it over to a bare-metal server.
NOTE: I am not offering guides or support on setting up the VM's IP Address's or VirtualBox. Perhaps in the future when I get the time I will update this page with such a guide. You can refer to SWG-source wiki to get the general idea of how to setup a VM's static IP. However every distro of linux is a little different on setting up static IP's.
All of my pre-built VM's will come defaulted to use the IP of 192.168.1.47 & mac 080027F3A637. I recommend going into your home router setup and reserving the IP of 192.168.1.47 & mac 080027F3A637 to the VM which hosts name is 'swg'. Each VM's desktop does offer a script which will help you configure the VM's host and hostname with a custom IP of your choice. The VM's will come in .ova (Open Virtualization Format 1.0) If you want to keep current configured IP's of (192.168.1.47 and mac be sure to select 'Include all network adapters and MAC address's on import!').
The reason why you must setup the VM's host IP correctly, is that your home router will continously assign a different IP to the VM each time you restart it. And you will need to reconfigure the SWG-Source IP's that the server starts with.
Installation of the SWG-Source server
After you have chosen and configured the VM of your choice. Simply double click the 'Setup SWG-Source v3.x server' icon on your desktop to build the SWG-Source server. Reboot and start the server in Terminator terminal. (./stationchat to start the chat server and ./startServer to start the SWG-Source server)
Removal of the SWG-Source server
I have included a 'Remove SWG-Source v3.x server' icon shortcut on the desktop as well. Once you launch it a script will run that you can use to purge the SWG-Source Server from your VM. This will DELETE the entire SWG-Source server and the imported SWG Oracle Database. Essentially allowing you to start over fresh again if you need to.
Note: There are also guides on each VM's Desktop on how to use 'ant' commands on your server. As well as optimizations.
Have fun!
