ConVirt is a powerful and easy-to-use virtualization management platform. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to install ConVirt on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS.
Before you begin, make sure that you have the following:
A running instance of Fedora CoreOS (the latest version)
Root access to your server
The first step is to install the dependencies that ConVirt requires. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo dnf install wget java-1.8.0-openjdk postgresql-server
Next, download the ConVirt installer by running the following command:
wget http://www.convirture.com/downloads/convirt-2.0.1-gc-installer.bin
Before executing the installer, you need to set the execution permission by running the following command:
chmod +x convirt-2.0.1-gc-installer.bin
You can now execute the installer by running the following command:
sudo ./convirt-2.0.1-gc-installer.bin
Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation.
Once the installation is complete, start the ConVirt services by running the following commands:
sudo systemctl start convirtd.service
sudo systemctl start convirt-vdsm.service
sudo systemctl start convirt-proxy.service
You can also enable these services to start automatically on boot by running the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable convirtd.service
sudo systemctl enable convirt-vdsm.service
sudo systemctl enable convirt-proxy.service
The installation is now complete, and you can access the ConVirt web interface by opening a web browser and navigating to:
https://your-server-ip-or-domain-name:4430/
You should now be able to log in and start managing your virtualization environment with ConVirt.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install ConVirt on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS. By following these steps, you should now have ConVirt up and running, ready for you to start managing your virtualization environment.
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!
