This tutorial will guide you through the installation of XCP-ng, a powerful virtualization platform, on Clear Linux Latest. Clear Linux is a lightweight, fast, and secure Linux distribution that is perfect for running virtual machines.
Before we start, make sure you have the following:
First, we have to add the XCP-ng repository to Clear Linux. This can be done by running the following command in the terminal:
swupd bundle-add wget
wget -P /etc/yum.repos.d/ http://mirror.xcp-ng.org/ce/7/xcp-ng.repo
This will download and add the XCP-ng repository to your system.
Next, we have to install the XCP-ng packages on Clear Linux. This can be done by running the following command:
yum install -y xcp-ng-release
This will install the key packages that are required for XCP-ng to run.
XCP-ng Center is a graphical user interface that allows users to manage XCP-ng hosts, virtual machines, and storage. To install XCP-ng Center, we have to add the repository and install the package by running the following commands:
yum install -y xcp-ng-center
Now that we have installed XCP-ng and XCP-ng Center, we have to start and enable the services. This can be done by running the following commands:
systemctl start xcp-ng-xs
systemctl enable xcp-ng-xs
systemctl start xcp-ng-center
systemctl enable xcp-ng-center
This will start and enable the XCP-ng and XCP-ng Center services, ensuring that they start on boot.
To launch XCP-ng Center, simply run the following command:
xcp-ng-center
This will launch the graphical user interface where you can manage your virtual machines, hosts, and storage.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed XCP-ng on Clear Linux Latest. You can now start creating and managing virtual machines on your system.
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!
