XCP-ng is a free and open-source hypervisor solution based on Xen. It offers enterprise-level features, reliability, and performance. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install XCP-ng on Kali Linux.
Before installing XCP-ng, make sure you have the following:
Visit the XCP-ng website and download the ISO file for Kali Linux.
Use a tool like Rufus or Balena Etcher to create a bootable USB drive with the XCP-ng ISO file.
Insert the USB drive into your computer and boot from it. You may need to change the boot order in your BIOS settings to prioritize the USB drive.
Follow the on-screen instructions to install XCP-ng. During the installation process, you will need to select the installation type, disk partitioning, and network settings. It is recommended to choose the default settings unless you have specific requirements.
After the installation is complete, you can access the XCP-ng console by opening a web browser and entering the IP address of your server.
By default, the username and password are both "root". It is recommended to change the default password for security reasons.
You can now create and manage virtual machines using the XCP-ng console.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed XCP-ng on Kali Linux. XCP-ng is a powerful hypervisor solution that can help you manage your virtual machines efficiently. If you encounter any issues during the installation process, refer to the XCP-ng documentation or seek help from the XCP-ng community.
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!
