Eng. @ SUSE Immutable OSes [email protected] dariof @DarioFaggioli https://dariofaggioli.wordpress.com/ https://about.me/dario.faggioli About Me What I do ● Virtualization Specialist Sw. Eng. @ SUSE since 2018, working on Xen, KVM, QEMU, mostly about performance related stuff ● Daily activities ⇒ how and what for I use my workstation ○ Read and send emails (Evolution, git-send-email, stg mail, ...) ○ Write, build & test code (Xen, KVM, Libvirt, QEMU) ○ Work with the Open Build Service (OBS) ○ Browse Web ○ Test OSes in VMs ○ Meetings / Video calls / Online conferences ○ Chat, work and personal ○ Some 3D Printing ○ Occasionally play games ○ Occasional video-editing ○ Maybe scan / print some document 2 ● Can all of the above be done with an immutable OS ? Immutable OS: What ? Either: ● An OS that you cannot modify Or, at least: ● An OS that you will have an hard time modifying What do you mean “modify” ? ● E.g., installing packages ● ⇒ An OS on which you cannot install packages ● ⇒ An OS on which you will have an hard time installing packages 3 Immutable OS: What ? Seriously? 4 Immutable OS: Why ? Because it will stay clean and hard to break ● Does this sound familiar? ○ Let’s install foo, and it’s dependency, libfoobar_1 ○ Let’s install bar (depends from libfoobar_1, we have it already) ○ Actually, let’s add an external repo. It has libfoobar_2 that makes foo work better! ○ Oh no... libfoobar_2 would break bar!! ● Yeah. It happens. Even in the best families distros

Leap 15.2 Retrospective told us that users value most the installer, stability, seamless migrations, and YaST. These would be then our strengths according to users! The distribution is often profiled as the more stable one and easy to use as there should be no radical or disruptive changes in between minor updates. Some users say It’s the KDE distribution.

  • Snort 2.9.9.X on Opensuse Leap 42.2
    Snort Installation on openSUSE Leap 42.2 64 bits Boris A. Gómez Universidad Tecnológica de Panamá July 2017 About This Guide This guide has been tested on openSUSE Leap 42.2, 64 bits, using DAQ 2.0.6 and Snort 2.9.9.0. Software was installed in a virtual machine: Virtual Machine Manager: VirtualBox 5.1.22 or KVM 1.4.0 HOST operating system: Windows 7 or openSUSE Leap 42.2 GUEST operating system: openSUSE Leap 42.2 (Snort will be installed here) For clarity, the following color code was used: Orange – commands that the user types at the shell prompt. Blue – text inside of configuration files. Purple – text to focus your attention on. This guide is based on the document "Snort 2.9.8.x on OpenSuSE 13x" by William Parker. Network Card Configuration Run VirtualBox | KVM manager and configure the network section of the guest machine to bridge mode. KVM Manager: VirtualBox Manager: Guest Machine Start your guest machine and set its network interface card to a static IP, for example 192.168.99.10, then check settings: ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 08:00:27:50:CA:99 inet addr: 192.168.99.10 Bcast:192.168.99.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 Verify that you can access Internet by accessing a web page, for example: https://snort.org Before proceeding, it is advisable to update the system. Required Packages Use YAST to install the following packages: gcc version 4.8.x (including libraries: libgcc_s1 (5.3.1), libgcc_s1-32bit(5.3.1)) flex (2.5.37) bison (2.7) php5-zlib (5.5.14 including zlib-devel 1.2.8) libpcap1 (1.8.1 including libpcap-devel 1.8.1) (versions must match) libpcre1 (8.39 including pcre-devel 8.39 and libpcre1-32bit 8.39) (versions must match) libdnet1 (1.12 including libdnet-devel 1.12) (versions must match) tcpdump (4.5.1).
