i will show you in this tutorial to start using  Coreos in your virtual box.

Coreos : Your first step to docker and KubernetesYour first step to docker and Kubernetes

Post Instalation

from the Client Server  (Windows/Linux) , Try to  generate ssh  pub-key

im running  Opensuse15

#ssh-keygen

Please save this key, You will use later on Coreos Configuration file.

Boot Coreos in Virtual box or Vmware

you are expecting to see something  like this :

Create md5  password for an user Like osradar user in my case

sudo openssl passwd -1 > cloud-config.yaml

Please edit    the  cloud-config like described  in the   text  bellow and  don’t  forget to  use the ssh pub from the the client to be able  without  password to  core user.

In my case  the user osradar is part from sudo and docker group

#cloud-config
users:
- name: osradar
passwd: "$1$jrZWXYCv$7xeeqlOrELkxo49vIgItK/"
groups:
- "sudo"
- "docker"

ssh-authorized-keys:
- "ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQDMLRh6JpAFS5WJgM6Wf3C6N7OZcFUwOtiRXePNW2Zoy5+4uiLQlaDwhqdqUoawQh6bO6bMOkk7Quw2ZvalBN7AuorWwOEHs0anG4qOs4FGBWjKYX+2Tif4s3KJ82TKyJdrXXgjB/uyk5OXxqM++pW2FHeSDg38NR7tp1e9qx7TCMnBYlk8PB9b6xvWldszy1cv9OsFzzrsYfnkUnmBS8f/0rdfGC24veGso2U2NcztMakWVusgWouNpnbyNk3TcfEWBZzq1AbCncixSEY1tN1m/hWDMoHjv/FtH7DlJhcMYfM4JHvNvIY6joQXXvAYZAnM6S5SZP88Q+y9UGMgdK/5 root@osradar.com"

How to Validate a CoreOS cloud-config file

core@localhost ~ $ coreos-cloudinit -validate --from-file cloud-config.yml
2019/02/14 22:11:27 Checking availability of "local-file"
2019/02/14 22:11:27 Fetching user-data from datasource of type "local-file"

Now install the install  The Coreos on your DISK

we  assume that  your  disk is  /dev/sda

core@localhost ~ $ sudo coreos-install -d /dev/sda -C stable -c cloud-config.yml

Installing cloud-config...
Success! CoreOS Container Linux stable 1967.6.0 is installed on /dev/sda
core@localhost ~ $

Now disconnect the ISO and reboot the system

You are ready : you can login with predefined password or connect from the client ( Linux-suse)  to ssh core@coreos-IP. You should be able to login without password.

Login wthout password

linux-osradar:~ # ssh core@172.18.32.51

Or login With osradar user and password u have already created.

How to install packages in Coreos

There is many things to do with Coreos.  we will back later in next articles how to use Coreos to deploy applications.
