Setting up OSSIM in a cloud environment

I am trying to setup OSSIM from Alientvault, via an ISO in my cloud instance. I have got the installation working in my local Virtual Box, however I can not get it to work on my cloud server.

I have a vultr.com cloud server and have downloaded the iso and have it mounted, but I can not run it as I do not have any GUI (only SSH).

I have been checking in the net for hours and I can not seem to get this going.

Has anyone done this before? any help will be greatly appreciated.

I found two ways of doing this.

1. Mount an ISO from the command line

• You can create a folder where you want to mount the ISO. But this must be an empty directory("/indika/alieanvault/").
• mount -oloop /home/alieanvault.iso /indika/alieanvault/
• You can configure this to mount at boot time if the image is mounting correctly with above command.
• Open file "/etc/fstab" and add this line to end of it. Open with ROOT privileges and add the following. *** Note - Keep an empty line in the end of the file after adding this.

/home/alieanvault.iso /indika/alieanvault/ iso9660 loop,ro,auto 0 0

• Type "mount -a" to check if there are any issues.

2. Use ISO with cloud provider

Almost all cloud vendors provide a way to load the ISO and boot with the ISO. I use vultr, so they allow to upload the ISO and boot with the ISO, which makes the task easier.
