Archipel is a management tool for virtual machines, developed by Archipel Project. This tutorial will describe how to install Archipel on EndeavourOS Latest using the command line.
Before installing Archipel, it is best to update your system. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
There are some dependencies that need to be installed before installing Archipel. Run the following command to install them:
sudo pacman -S libvirt python-libvirt rabbitmq-c
Now that the dependencies are installed, you can proceed with the installation of Archipel. Run the following command to install Archipel:
sudo pacman -S archipel
After installation, start the Archipel services by running the following commands:
sudo systemctl start libvirtd.service
sudo systemctl start rabbitmq.service
You can also enable the services to start automatically at boot time:
sudo systemctl enable libvirtd.service
sudo systemctl enable rabbitmq.service
By default, Archipel does not have authentication enabled. To enable it, you can follow the instructions in the auth.conf file located in /etc/archipel. You can choose to use either a local or LDAP authentication method.
To access the Archipel web interface, run the following command:
sudo archipel-admin
This will start Archipel and open the web interface in your default web browser.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Archipel on EndeavourOS Latest!
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!
