vyBuddy appliance VMDK disk image may be downloaded here.
RAW disk image suitable for VMware ESX, KVM or XEN is here.
Herminio Noguera Ruiz contributed vyBuddy virtual appliance for VMware ESX:
It may be downloaded from either Vyatta4People or Openredes.
Appliance is based on Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) 64-bit.
Ruby on Rails and ExtJS frameworks are involved in project development
and innovative Netzke framework ties them up in a clean component-driven way.
Try Netzke! It worth it! ![]()
Quick start guide for vyBuddy appliance: PDF (EN) PDF (ES)
Username: vybuddy
Password: vybuddyLogin with these credentials via HTTPS(vyBuddy UI) or SSH2(Linux shell).
NB!
Just after you install vyBuddy appliance and before reporting any errors
please run command update-vybuddy from Linux shell to update appliance.
I update vyBuddy code frequently, so make sure you have latest vyBuddy software.
This is not complete product, but a minimal foundation to build next releases on.
Submit your feature requests, criticize, express your opinion in any suitable way.
Remember, the way vyBuddy will progress depends on you just as it depends on me!
Features I need to implement ASAP:
- significant UI changes: validations and improved look and feel, drag and drop, etc;
- remote command execution via HTTPS requests [to Vyatta hosts];
- XML import/export capabilities to hosts, tasks, remote commands and filters;
- advanced iptables log viewer [for Vyatta hosts];
- interactive remote command execution;
- basic monitoring capabilities: email notifications on host up/down events;
- security enhancements: crisp and clear user right system;
For now it’s all.
See ya soon!

My congratulations! You’ve done it
Nice work so far. “show ip route” didn’t work for me, but that may be because I had a full routing table (>200K routes).
Thank you, Stig!
This is only beginning, a concept…
Now I work on UI, then will go with XML import/export.
200 K routes? WOW. I do not have such system, but will try to figure it out!
Hi Cartman,
Don’t worry about “show ip route” not working with a full Internet routing table – even Vyatta’s subscription-only GUI doesn’t handle it and causes the browser to hang. This was a topic of discussion on the IRC channel ##vyatta and the most agreed that when you have a full Internet feed you don’t use “show ip route” without a filter to look for a specific prefix. Anyway, keep up the good work. I’m looking forward to future releases.
Hello,
i downloaded vybuddy VM and i´m triying to setup in virtual box.
i created de VM and started it.
i only see a black screen. could you tell me if there is a problem with Virtualbox and vybuddy?
thanks
Hola!
Do you use 32bit VM? Please use 64bit!
Sorry for not mentioning vyBuddy needs 64bit, not mentioned.
And thanks for the feedback!
Thank you that´s the problem VM 32 bits
Gracias por su respuesta!
Existe algún “howto” disponible para la herramienta vybuddy?
Muchas gracias
Lo siento.
Actualmente no hay manuales, pero será pronto!
Voy a publicar aquí: Vyatta hispano
P.S.:
Sin embargo, puede hacer preguntas!
ok, como lo pongo en marcha, tengo 2 maquinas virtuales una con vybuddy y otra con vyatta con el acceso ssh habilitado.
la he dado de alta en vybuddy y no se seguir…
gracias de antemano
Has probado esto:
update-vybuddyUn error se fijó 17 de enero!
si, ya lo ejecute, en el panel web de vybuddy me sale el host vyatta con un aspa roja en “REACHABLE”
Hola Oscar,
Se puede acceder a sistema de Vyatta con su par de claves de la consola de Linux ?
Yo siento la necesidad de añadir visor de registro … SSH/DB/etc…
Oscar,
por favor envíame la salida del comando
tail /tmp/vyhostd.err.*Gracias, amigo!
Saludos.
Cartman, me llamo Hector Suarez Planas y soy un admirador suyo. Antes que nada una cosa: yo que pasaba trabajo escribiendo en inglés preguntas en el foro de Vyatta y aquí veo que domina el español, jejejejeje, haberlo dicho antes, hombre.
Entrando en materia, Herminio me recomendó esta página, y al leer, veo que está bastante interesante. ¿No existe la posibilidad de hacer eso, pero prescindiendo del VMware?
Saludos!
Gracias amigo! Estoy aprendiendo a hablar espanol
vyBuddy debe trabajar en todos los sistemas de virtualizacion.
Lo que la virtualizacion del sistema que esta utilizando?
Trate de VMware, QEMU, Linux-KVM & VirtualBOX.
I’m running it in a virtual machine on linux virtualbox. I haven’t noticed any problems due to it running in a vm.
Cool! Stig, did you tried the new logger ?
After bringing up the appliance and updating it per the quick start PDF, I get a “We’re sorry, but something went wrong.” error. Is there something else I am missing? Is there a deb package that can be installed on my own box?
I also am getting this after updating.
Tried an apt-get upgrade hoping it is an old package issue however no luck.
Thank you for noticing this, folks!
Fix is available!
Saludos, hermanos.
Cartman, ¿sería mucho pedir que añadieras varios screenshots del vyBuddy en tu sitio? Así veríamos una panorámica de o todas o de la mayoría de las opciones que brinda el vyBuddy mientras lo adquirimos. Además, sería un gancho para la gente que visite el sitio, ¿no crees?
No sé, es un comentario que hago.
Saludos a ti y a Herminio.
Gran idea de mi amigo!
Voy a hacer algunas tareas urgentes y vamos a crear algo de la presentación!

Hi Cartman,
great job, really! That’s what I always wanted with Vyatta, especially with latest after-6.2 versions, which do not have WebGUI anymore.
What about VC6.4 and VC6.5? Are those also supported?
I mean, in those versions Vyatta changed NAT rules organisation, put them off the SYSTEM node and used own NAT node instead. Also NAT is devided into source and destination node.
Hi Labsy,
Thanks man! VC 6.4 will be supported just after release.
6.5 is a some kind of future release, it has not released yet.
