For our example we’ll use two virtual machines on virtualbox with devuan 1.0 Jessie installed.
Each machine is configured in the same way.

- Hard disk of 12 GB with single partition ext4
- sshd up and running
The machines have one bridged network adapter eth0. The network configuration is using a static ip address.
