This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing oVirt on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS. oVirt is a free and open-source virtualization management platform. It is used to manage virtual machines, storage, and networks in datacenters.
Before installing oVirt on Fedora CoreOS, you need to make sure that you have the following:
First, we need to install the required packages for oVirt. Run the following command to install the packages:
sudo dnf install -y https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release44.rpm
sudo dnf module enable -y javapackages-tools
sudo dnf install -y ovirt-engine
By default, oVirt uses some ports to communicate with other servers in the data center. We need to open these ports in the firewall. Run the following commands to open the required ports:
sudo firewall-cmd --add-port={80/tcp,443/tcp,444/tcp,5432/tcp,54321/tcp,54322/tcp,16514/tcp,54323/tcp,49152-49216/tcp} --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
Now we need to configure oVirt. Run the following command to start the configuration:
sudo engine-setup
This command will start the setup process for oVirt. It will ask you some questions about the setup like language, database, etc. Follow the prompts and answer the questions as required. Once you have completed the setup, you will have successfully installed oVirt on Fedora CoreOS latest version.
To access the oVirt console, open a web browser and navigate to the following URL:
https://<Your_Server_IP_Address>/ovirt-engine/
You will be asked to enter your login credentials. Use the same credentials that you used during the setup process to log in to the oVirt console.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed oVirt on Fedora CoreOS latest version. Enjoy using oVirt to manage virtual machines, storage, and networks in your datacenters.
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!
