custom (ebs backed) Fedora 14 AMIs
by Brian LaMere 06 Dec '10

06 Dec '10

Greetings all - just wanted to let you know I made a couple tweeks to the very very simple, very non-professional, non-bulletproof "createfedorabootebs.sh" script. You can find slightly longer instructions here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Publishing_image_to_EC2 The steps are relatively simple. 1) create an instance from the official AMI (or anywhere else, really) 2) create a new volume, whatever size (at least 2g or so) and mount it at /dev/sdf 3) run the createfedorabootebs.sh script 4) snapshot the volume 5) register an AMI with the snapshot and the pvgrub hd0 aki It's a simple script; even a novice can tell what is going on. The sources are all from Fedora, and nothing funny is happening. This is the low-speed, "I don't know boxgrinder, I don't have a machine I can run xen on anyway, I want to know what is on the image" approach. That said, I *heartily* recommend using jforbes' AMIs instead; he'll have EBS-backed AMIs soon, I'm sure. This is only for those who want to play, or need an ebs image today. Or, if you're really crazy, it's for people who want to look at getting rawhide on ec2! Brian

default size of root fs
by István 06 Dec '10

06 Dec '10

Hey, Don't you think it was a good idea to have at least 10G for / in FC14 EC2 image? 2G is a bit small comparing the available many 100G space, it is hardly enough for typical LAMP installations or any kind of production server even if you store the content in /mnt.

Re: FC 14 root partition size
by Simon Smith 02 Dec '10

02 Dec '10

I just want to say I agree with Dima that 2GB for the root partition for the 64-bit AMI is too small - I use a mix of 64- and 32-bit images - the 10GB that the 32-bit provides is fine. For now I'll just have my bootstrap scripts rearrange the disk layout, but here's a request for the next set of images (or Fedora 15) 64-bit AMIs to have at least 10GB for the root partition. And ditto on the huge thanks for making these AMIs available - I can now migrate off of Fedora 8! Thanks!

F14 AMI passwords
by Pete Zaitcev 01 Dec '10

01 Dec '10

Looking at the /etc/shadow in our official AMI ami-6e3a6a2b, I observed that root and ec2-user have passwords. Why are they left in? I suppose they do not hurt much, since sshd_config sets PasswordAuthentication and PermitRootLogin to no. Still, I'm just curious what they are. Even better, let's think in reverse: if the creator accidentially used a real root password, can I crack any interesting servers by cracking the root password and then applying it to bits of Fedora infrastructure (I know it's not 3-DES anymore, but still)? -- Pete
