Archipel is an open-source virtualization management platform used to manage KVM Hypervisors. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Archipel on Fedora Server Latest.
Archipel requires some packages that are not shipped with the default repositories of Fedora. Therefore, we need to enable the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository.
You can enable this repository by running the following command:
sudo dnf install epel-release
To install Archipel, we need to install some required packages. To install these packages, run the following command:
sudo dnf install python3-archipel-core python3-archipel-agent-hypervisor-qemu
Archipel uses some ports to communicate with the hypervisors. Therefore, we need to allow these ports in the firewall.
You can allow these ports by running the following commands:
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=8000/tcp
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=16514/tcp
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
To start the Archipel services, run the following command:
sudo systemctl start archipel-core.service archipel-node.service
To ensure the services automatically start after a system reboot, run the following command:
sudo systemctl enable archipel-core.service archipel-node.service
To access the Archipel web interface, open your web browser and navigate to:
http://your-ip-address:8000/
If you are accessing the web interface on the same system, you can use the following URL:
http://localhost:8000/
You have successfully installed Archipel on your Fedora Server Latest. You can now manage your KVM Hypervisors using the Archipel web interface.
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!
