This tutorial will guide you on how to install Ganeti on Fedora CoreOS. Ganeti is a virtualization management platform that enables you to manage multiple virtual machines on a single physical machine.
Before you begin, ensure that you have:
The first step is to update and upgrade the Fedora CoreOS system to the latest version. To do that, run the following command:
sudo dnf update && sudo dnf upgrade
The next step is to install the required packages for Ganeti. Run the following command to install them:
sudo dnf install ganeti-instance-debootstrap ganeti-instance-image ganeti-instance-debootstrap
The configuration file for Ganeti is located at /etc/ganeti/config. Edit the file and update the following settings:
IAllocator: hail
MACPrefix: "00:16:3e"
DefaultIAllocatorParams: --queue-delay 5
Start the Ganeti services by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start ganeti
You can also enable the Ganeti service to automatically start at system boot by running:
sudo systemctl enable ganeti
To verify that Ganeti is running properly, you can run the following command:
sudo su
gnt-cluster getmaster
This should return the hostname of the Ganeti master node.
Congratulations, you have installed Ganeti on Fedora CoreOS! You can now use Ganeti to manage virtual machines on your server.
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!
