oVirt is an open-source virtualization solution designed to manage virtual machines, networks, and storage. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing oVirt on a Fedora Server.
Before installing oVirt, make sure that you have a functional Fedora Server environment. You can download the latest version of Fedora Server from the official website: https://getfedora.org/server/
After installing Fedora Server, update your system by running the following command:
sudo dnf update
oVirt requires several dependencies to be installed on your system. Install these dependencies by running the following command:
sudo dnf install wget nano epel-release
sudo dnf install http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release44.rpm
sudo dnf install ovirt-engine
After installing the oVirt Engine, you need to configure it to run on your system. You can configure oVirt Engine by running the following command:
sudo engine-setup
During the installation, you will be prompted with several configuration options. You can choose the default options or customize them based on your requirements.
Once the installation is complete, you can access the oVirt web interface by opening a web browser and navigating to the following URL:
https://<your_ip_address>/ovirt-engine
Replace <your_ip_address> with the actual IP address of your server.
You will be prompted with a login page. Use the default credentials (admin / engine) to login and start managing your virtual machines.
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install oVirt on a Fedora Server. With oVirt, you can easily manage virtual machines, networks, and storage from a web-based 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!
