Archipel is a free and open-source virtualization management software that allows you to manage virtual machines (VMs) across multiple hypervisors. It provides an easy-to-use interface for managing VMs, networking, and storage.
In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Archipel on Clear Linux Latest.
Before you begin, you should have the following:
Before installing any new software on your server, it is always a good practice to update the system to the latest version. To do so, run the following command:
sudo swupd update
Archipel requires certain dependencies to be installed on your system. To install the necessary libraries and tools, run the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add python3-basic vim
This will install the required dependencies on your system.
Once the dependencies are installed, you can proceed to install Archipel. Run the following command to install Archipel:
sudo pip3 install archipel
This command will install the latest stable version of Archipel on your system.
Next, you need to configure Archipel by creating its configuration file. Run the following command to create the configuration file:
sudo archipel-install
This command will create the Archipel configuration file in the following location: /etc/archipel/archipel.conf
To customize the configuration file as per your requirements, edit the file using a text editor:
sudo nano /etc/archipel/archipel.conf
Once done, save the file and exit.
Now that you have installed and configured Archipel, you can start the Archipel server by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start archipel
Archipel is now installed and running on your Clear Linux Latest server. You can access it by opening your web browser and entering the following URL:
https://<your-server-ip>:443
Replace your-server-ip with the IP address of your Clear Linux Latest server. You will see the Archipel login page, where you can enter your credentials and start managing your virtual machines.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Archipel on Clear Linux Latest. By following these steps, you should now have a running instance of Archipel that you can use to manage your virtual machines across multiple hypervisors.
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!
