# Bare-metal SNP setup for Constellation
## Prepare Host
The bare-metal host machine needs to be able to start SEV-SNP VMs.
A thorough explanation can be found here: <https://github.com/AMDESE/AMDSEV/tree/snp-latest>.
First checkout the snp-latest branch:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/AMDESE/AMDSEV.git
cd AMDSEV
git checkout snp-latest
```
Then enable TPM2 support by setting `-DTPM2_ENABLE` in the OVMF build command
found in `common.sh`:
```patch
diff --git a/common.sh b/common.sh

```
Build and package the binaries. Then install the newly build kernel:
```bash
./build.sh --package
cd linux
dpkg -i linux-image-6.9.0-rc7-snp-host-05b10142ac6a_6.9.0-rc7-g05b10142ac6a-2_amd64.deb
```
Reboot, verify that the right BIOS setting are set as described in
<https://github.com/AMDESE/AMDSEV/tree/snp-latest?tab=readme-ov-file#prepare-host>
and select the new kernel in the boot menu. Note that GRUB usually automatically
select the newest installed kernel as default.
Download a Constellation qemu image, the `constellation-conf.yaml`, and
the `launch-constellation.sh` script in the directory right next to the
`AMDSEV` folder.
```bash
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/edgelesssys/constellation/main/dev-docs/howto/bare-metal/launch-constellation.sh
wget https://cdn.confidential.cloud/constellation/v1/ref/main/stream/console/v2.17.0-pre.0.20240516182331-5fb2a2cb89f2/image/csp/qemu/qemu-vtpm/image.raw

```
Install and setup [docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/),
install swtpm, dnsmasq and tmux.
Then simply run:
```bash
sudo ./launch-constellation.sh
```
