[11:37] <jo-erlend> how can I find installed web applications?
[11:38] <jo-erlend> I've installed phpmyadmin, and I know from experience that it gets in localhost/phpmyadmin. But now I've installed drupal. The installation of Ubuntu, LAMP server, phpMyAdmin and all that, took about 20 minutes. Now I've spent about two hours trying to find out how to get to Drupal.
[11:49] <jo-erlend> heh, I remember complaining about this about five or six years ago. I imagined there would've been some improvements in that area by now, but that doesn't appear to be the case. It's still much easier to do a manual install. How can this be?

[15:53] <nOStahl> any libvirt guys in here?

[16:33] <SpamapS> nOStahl: perhaps just ask your question
[16:33] <SpamapS> nOStahl: if somebody knows the answer they'll respond
[16:34] <nOStahl> sorry got tied up answering boss questions :P
[16:35] <nOStahl> so i've been zooming all around google so far today reading up on libvirt
[16:35] <nOStahl> and all sorts of forms of virtualization
[16:36] <nOStahl> it sounds like this is what I am needing. (I just want to be able to fire up an instance and get it configured and running)
[16:37] <nOStahl> I was reading about vmwares hypervisor can launch your vm on another machine if the previous one dies
[16:37] <nOStahl> does libvirt handle that too?
[16:40] <SpamapS> libvirt has live migration yeah
[16:40] <SpamapS> as long as the block device is available of course
[16:50] <nOStahl> what is a block device
[17:00] <SpamapS> nOStahl: don't take this the wrong way, but if you are asking that, you don't really have the necessary information required to understand the answer. ;)
[17:00] <nOStahl> gotta start somewhere :P
[17:00] <SpamapS> nOStahl: but to answer the first question.. yes.. libvirt can migrate vms between servers.
[17:01] <nOStahl> k
[17:01] <SpamapS> nOStahl: a block device, btw, is any device which you can address randomly.. there are also "character" devices which can only be streamed to/from
[17:02] <SpamapS> nOStahl: disks are block devices, tapes are character devices
[17:05] <nOStahl> k
[17:05] <SpamapS> smoser: remind me the file to remove to make a cloud instance re-run cloud-init on reboot
[17:06] <smoser> rm -Rf /var/lib/cloud
[17:06] <smoser> that will do it
[17:06] <smoser> but more fine-grained
[17:06] <smoser> rm -Rf /var/lib/cloud/instance/
[17:06] <smoser> (note trailing /)
