I wanted to circumvent my residential FIOS with my one dynamic public ip in my home lab without upgrading to a commercial account with Verizon. Right now I’m enjoying 1Gig up and down. One look at commercial prices and its a small fortune for static ip’s and the same residential speed..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had the idea of tunneling public ip’s from a public cloud to my home lab. Once i get this working I will post the steps to re create this scenario. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However in my testing I want to run a hypervisor and openvswitch on Digital Ocean to test a software vtep with openvswitch as its base. These are the steps to install a headless Virtual Box. I created two of them. One instance of Virtual Box is running nested on ESXi 6.7 in a Ubuntu 16.04 server vm and the other on Digital Ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
