<p>The cakelampvm project provides a Virtualbox VM that acts as an "internet
in a bottle", serving up your web sites securely and only to your local
host. The virtual machine provides DNS services (<a target="_blank"
with:
<pre><span style="font-weight: bold;">ssh developer@10.28.42.20<br># or perform the equivalent connection with your ssh client.</span></pre>
<p>And then provide the password to log in.</p>

-The cakelampvm v002 is released with the intention that it not need to be
- released again. Version 001 was not built with that explicit
- intention, which then required the release of Version 002. But we
- hope to not need a v003 release...</p>
- <p>There is an update feature built into the VM that is quite easy to
- use. The updates are driven by the feisty meow script repository in
- conjunction with a local scripted command. To activate the "update
- process" for your VM, run the following commands on the VM, logged in as
- the <i>developer</i> user:</p>
- <pre><span style="font-weight: bold;"># update to the latest version of feisty meow.<br>rpuffer $FEISTY_MEOW_APEX; regenerate<br># enact any configuration changes needed, such as permissions and account setup.
