VMWare Fusion Images with a static IP Address on Mac OS X Snow Leopard

How to setup your VMWare Fusion images to use static IP addresses on Mac OS X

At Crush + Lovely, we use Railsmachine's Moonshine to automate the configuration of our servers. When writing our deployment recipes, VMWare Fusion's ability to take snapshots and rollback to these snapshots is a huge timesaver because it takes just seconds to roll a server image to it's original state.

When you're just configuring a single server, having a static IP address for your server image isn't too important, but when you're configuring multi-server setups, it can be useful to duplicate a number of server images and give each a static IP address so you can consistently deploy to them. While not documented well at all, it turns out that this is relatively easy to accomplish in four simple steps.

1. Determine the MAC address of your guest machine

Let's say you have a guest machine with the name ubuntu-lucid-lynx-base a

Mosh is great, but sometimes the remote server you're accessing doesn't have it installed or doesn't give you sudo access. This script will install mosh as a user.

Example code for running a (HTTP/HTTPS) Tor hidden service supporting subdomains.

The following files show an example of how to create subdomains for onion site hidden services. (This hasn't been tested for hidden services for anything other than HTTP/HTTPS.)

(You might also want to read our blog post about ProPublica’s Tor hidden service, including a tutorial and notes on running a hidden service: https://www.propublica.org/nerds/item/a-more-secure-and-anonymous-propublica-using-tor-hidden-services )

In general, this works (maybe just in recent Tor clients) because Tor will handle the connection to www.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.onion as a connection to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.onion. The encapsulated HTTP/HTTPS connection contains the subdomain in the Host: header (and in the case of HTTPS, the SNI
