Warrior 4 VM

This repository contains the Warrior Virtual Machine Appliance Version 4 for ArchiveTeam.

💿 If you are looking to download the warrior, a ready-to-use virtual appliance is located at the Releases section or at Warrior HQ downloads. You'll need a virtualization solution of your choice such as VirtualBox.

🐋 If you are looking to run the warrior in a Docker container, use the image available from warrior-dockerfile.

If you want to see the older version 3, see Ubuntu-Warrior.

Support

  • If you need help or troubleshooting information, check the FAQs or Issues section to see if your problem has been answered already. If you want to to discuss in general, join hackint IRC #warrior channel.
  • For bug reports, please file an issue on the Issues section.

Known issues

  • OVA file may not be fully compatible with other virtual machine software.
    • In this case, you will need to download the disk image instead and manually configure a new virtual machine to use them. See the next section for details.
  • Some issues may still remain from version 3.

Using the disk images

Using the disk image directly is intended for advanced cases or when the OVA file is not compatible. This will expand to 60GB.

In some cases, such as using ESXi, you may need to "reformat" the image to work. This can be done using vmkfstools -i input.vmdk output.vmdk. See VMWare docs for more information.

To use the disk image:

  1. Download the supported format: vmdk (VMware) or qcow2 (QEMU).
  2. Decompress them (unzip/gunzip).
  3. Move the disk image file to where your virtual machines are saved. Since the VM software will use this existing file as its storage disk, you may want to keep a copy of the original to avoid having to redownload a new disk image.
  4. Create a new machine (select either Alpine Linux 64-bit variant if available, or else "Other Linux (64-bit)") and choose the existing disk file that you have downloaded and moved.
  5. Configure the machine as described in the next section.

Here are the suggested defaults:

Hardware Value
Memory 512 MB
Video memory 16 MB
3D graphics off
CPUs 1
Network NAT
USB off
Audio off

When using NAT network type, port forwarding is required to access the web interface. The following allows you to access port 8001 on localhost that is forwarded to the VM's port 8001:

Name Host address Host port VM address VM port
Web Interface 127.0.0.1 8001 8001
