#### Instance Deployment
|
||||
I started by logging into my Google Cloud account at https://console.cloud.google.com, and proceeded to create a new project (named `wireguard`) to keep my WireGuard-related resources together. I then navigated to **Compute Engine** and [created a new instance](https://console.cloud.google.com/compute/instancesAdd) inside that project. The basic setup is:

Once it's installed, I open the app and click the "Plus" button to create a new tunnel, and select the _Create from scratch_ option. I click the circle-arrows icon at the right edge of the _Private key_ field, and that automatically generates this peer's private and public key pair. Simply clicking on the _Public key_ field will automatically copy the generated key to my clipboard, which will be useful for sharing it with the server. Otherwise I fill out the **Interface** section similarly to what I've done already:

`sshHost` is my new `win02` server that I'm going to connect to via SSH, and `sshUser` and `sshPass` should explain themselves. The `dnsServer` array will tell the script which DNS servers to try to create the record on; this will just be a single server in my lab, but I'm going to construct the script to support multiple servers in case one isn't reachable. And `supported domains` will be used to restrict where I'll be creating records; again, that's just a single domain in my lab, but I'm building this solution to account for the possibility where a VM might need to be deployed on a domain where I can't create a static record in this way so I want it to fail elegantly.

You can refer to my notes from last time for details on how I [created the Ubuntu 20.04 VM](/federated-matrix-server-synapse-on-oracle-clouds-free-tier/#instance-creation) and [configured the firewall rules](/federated-matrix-server-synapse-on-oracle-clouds-free-tier/#firewall-configuration) both at the cloud infrastructure level as well as within the host using `iptables`. Snikket does need a few additional [firewall ports](https://github.com/snikket-im/snikket-server/blob/master/docs/advanced/firewall.md) beyond what was needed for my Matrix setup:

As a gentle reminder, Oracle's `iptables` configuration inserts a `REJECT all` rule at the bottom of each chain. I needed to make sure that each of my `ALLOW` rules get inserted above that point. So I used `iptables -L INPUT --line-numbers` to identify which line held the `REJECT` rule, and then used `iptables -I INPUT [LINE_NUMBER] -m state --state NEW -p [PROTOCOL] --dport [PORT] -j ACCEPT` to insert the new rules above that point.

#### Overview
|
||||
My home network uses the generic `192.168.1.0/24` address space, with internet router providing DHCP addresses in the range `.100-.250`. I'm using the range `192.168.1.2-.99` for statically-configured IPs, particularly those within my lab environment. Here are the addresses being used by the lab so far:
|
||||
|
||||
| IP Address | Hostname | Purpose |
|
||||
| ---- | ---- | ---- |
|
||||

|
||||
| `192.168.1.12` | `vcsa` | vCenter Server |
|
||||
|
||||
Of course, not everything that I'm going to deploy in the lab will need to be accessible from outside the lab environment. This goes for obvious things like the vMotion and vSAN networks of the nested ESXi hosts, but it will also be useful to have internal networks that can be used by VMs provisioned by vRA. So I'll be creating these networks:

|
||||
|
||||
#### vSwitch1
|
||||
I'll start by adding a second vSwitch to the physical host. It doesn't need a physical adapter assigned since this switch will be for internal traffic. I create two port groups: one tagged for the VLAN 1610 Management traffic, which will be useful for attaching VMs on the physical host to the internal network; and the second will use VLAN 4095 to pass all VLAN traffic to the nested ESXi hosts. And again, this vSwitch needs to have its security policy set to allow Promiscuous Mode and Forged Transmits. I also set the vSwitch to support an MTU of 9000 so I can use Jumbo Frames on the vMotion and vSAN networks.

### Nested vSAN Cluster

Alright, it's time to start building up the nested environment. To start, I grabbed the latest [Nested ESXi Virtual Appliance .ova](https://williamlam.com/nested-virtualization/nested-esxi-virtual-appliance), courtesy of William Lam. I went ahead and created DNS records for the hosts I'd be deploying, and I mapped out what IPs would be used on each VLAN:

Deploying the virtual appliances is just like any other "Deploy OVF Template" action. I placed the VMs on the `physical-cluster` compute resource, and selected to thin provision the VMDKs on the local datastore. I chose the "Isolated" VM network which uses VLAN 4095 to make all the internal VLANs available on a single portgroup.

I *could* just use those tags to let users pick the appropriate network, but I've found that a lot of times users don't know why they're picking a certain network, they just know the IP range they need to use.
