#Here's what I did to get to the point where I'm at:
#-Install Ubuntu 11.10
#-Get all available updates
#-Add the VirtualBox add-ons and video driver
#-Set up SSH (for the SCP at the end)
#
# I have done nothing else to this virtual machine.
# On my iPhone, I set the DNS server to 192.168.2.131 (the IP of the virtual machine)
Some things to note:
I'm running SiriProxy on port 2000 using a non-privileged user. I'm then redirecting internal network traffic
using iptables from port 443 to port 2000. This is more secure than running SiriProxy as root. I also have it
set up to respawn SiriProxy when it dies (which happens pretty regularly). Finally, I'm dumping all the output
to /tmp/siriproxy (in theory), but I don't seem to get output to that log. Which is unfortunate. Maybe someone
can explain what's wrong there. I'm really not an expert in Upstart either. :-)
As usual, simply copying/pasting this stuff anywhere will get you pretty much nowhere. You need to have some idea
what you're doing to make this work. Good luck!
