+[[!toc]] The system providing the
+virtual host services for the NetSurf project is currently named
+phoenix.
+
+Access is \*only\* via the NetSurf VPN. For VPN access contact vince
+though you can also use your ssh key access to ci.netsurf-browser.org
+
+phoenix is currently 192.168.211.50 if the DNS is unavailable
+
+Creating a new VPS
+------------------
+
+Become superuser with sudo
+
+### Debian VPS
+
+If you are creating a new Debian box there is a helper script
+(new-wheezy-vps.sh ) which just just need to pass a system name to and
+you will get a 40G disc/ 512MB RAM system.
+
+for example:
+
+`new-wheezy-vps.sh ciworker13`
+
+will create a system named ciworker13 with 40G of disc and 512MB of
+memory with the Debian wheezy boot iso connected to the cdrom drive.
+
+### Other VPS
+
+The manual setup for other systems is:
+
+-   create lvm device for the system
+
+`lvcreate --size 40G -n system_name vg`
+
+-   if the OS requires a cdrom install media download and place in
+    /var/lib/libvirt/images/
+-   use virt install to create the new VM substitutig appropriate values
+    for volume name, memory, boot disc
+
+`virt-install -n ciworker13 -r 512 --disk path=/dev/mapper/vg-ciworker13,bus=virtio \`  
+`-c /var/lib/libvirt/images/cd54.iso --accelerate --network=bridge:br0 \`  
+`--connect=qemu:///system --vnc --noautoconsole -v`
+
+Admin
+-----
+
+You can either use virsh on phoenix to directly admin consoles or
+alternatively use virt-admin over the VPN which is by far the easier
+option.
