This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing XCP-ng on Alpine Linux. XCP-ng is an open-source virtualization platform based on Xen Project hypervisor, designed to leverage the power of hardware virtualization and cloud management technologies to provide a robust and scalable virtualization platform.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
Before installing XCP-ng, it is recommended to update the system to the latest package version. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo apk update && sudo apk upgrade
XCP-ng requires a few dependencies to be installed on the Linux system. You can install them by running the following command:
sudo apk add ca-certificates curl gnupg wget
To install XCP-ng on Alpine Linux, you need to add the XCP-ng repository to the package manager. Run the following command to add the repository:
sudo wget -O /etc/apk/keys/xcp-ng.rsa.pub https://xcp-ng.org/download/xcp-ng-8.1-key.pub
sudo echo "https://xcp-ng.org/8.1/xcp-ng-8.1.repo" >> /etc/apk/repositories
After adding the XCP-ng repository, you can now install XCP-ng by running the following command:
sudo apk update && sudo apk add xcp-ng
Once the installation is complete, you can verify it by running the following command:
sudo xe vm-list
If XCP-ng is installed correctly, you should see a list of virtual machines available.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install XCP-ng on Alpine Linux. XCP-ng is a powerful virtualization platform that can help you create and manage virtual machines on your system with ease. We hope this guide was helpful in getting you started with XCP-ng. For more information and documentation, please visit the XCP-ng website.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
