How to Install Ganeti on Linux Mint Latest

Ganeti is a powerful, open-source virtualization management tool designed to manage virtual machines in clusters. Here's a step-by-step guide on installing Ganeti on your Linux Mint system:

Prerequisites

Step 1: Add Ganeti Repository

Open a terminal window and add Ganeti's repository to your apt sources list by running the following command:

$ echo "deb http://pkg.ganeti.org/debian <GANETI_VERSION> main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ganeti.list

Note: Make sure to replace <GANETI_VERSION> with the current version of Ganeti.

Next, add the repository's public key to your system to enable verification by running the following commands:

$ wget -O - https://pkg.ganeti.org/debian/APT-GPG-KEY | sudo apt-key add -
$ sudo apt-get update

Step 2: Install Ganeti

To install Ganeti on your Linux Mint system, run the following command in your terminal window:

$ sudo apt-get install ganeti2

This will automatically install all the Ganeti packages.

Step 3: Configure Network Bridge

Ganeti requires a network bridge to provide network access to virtual machines. To configure the network bridge, run the following command in your terminal:

$ sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

Add the following configuration below everything else in the file:

# Configure network bridge
auto br0
iface br0 inet dhcp
  bridge_ports eth0

Note: Replace eth0 with the name of your physical network interface card.

Exit nano by pressing CTRL+X, followed by Y to save changes.

Finally, restart the network service by running the following command:

$ sudo service networking restart

Step 4: Create a Ganeti Cluster

To create a Ganeti cluster, run the following command in your terminal:

$ sudo gnt-cluster init <CLUSTER_NAME>

Note: Replace <CLUSTER_NAME> with your desired cluster name.

This will create a new Ganeti cluster on your system.

Step 5: Create a Virtual Machine

To create a new virtual machine in the Ganeti cluster, run the following command in your terminal:

$ sudo gnt-instance add -t plain --disk 0:size=10G --net 0:bridge=br0 --no-start <VM_NAME>

Note: Replace <VM_NAME> with your desired virtual machine name.

This will create a new virtual machine with a 10GB disk attached and network access through the network bridge.

Step 6: Start the Virtual Machine

To start the virtual machine, run the following command in your terminal:

$ sudo gnt-instance start <VM_NAME>

This will start the virtual machine and make it accessible on your network.

Conclusion

Congratulations, you've successfully installed Ganeti on your Linux Mint distribution and created a new virtual machine. You can now use Ganeti to manage your virtual machines in the Ganeti cluster.

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!
