oVirt is an open-source virtualization management platform that allows you to manage your virtual machines, storage, and networks easily. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install oVirt on Linux Mint.
Before you begin with the installation process, you need to ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
First, you need to install the dependencies that are required to install oVirt on your system. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt-get install epel-release
sudo apt-get install ovirt-engine-setup
Next, you need to configure the firewall on your system to allow communication with oVirt. You can do this by running the following commands:
sudo ufw allow proto tcp from any to any port 80,443,111,2049,5432
sudo ufw allow proto udp from any to any port 111,2049,5432
Now, you are ready to install oVirt on your system. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo yum install ovirt-engine
After the installation is complete, you need to set up oVirt on your system. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo engine-setup
This command will start the oVirt engine setup wizard, which will guide you through the configuration process.
Once the setup is complete, you can access the oVirt web interface by opening your web browser and navigating to https://<ovirt-engine-name-or-ip>/ovirt-engine. You will be prompted to log in with the username and password that you provided during the setup process.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed oVirt on your Linux Mint system. With oVirt, you can easily manage your virtual machines, storage, and networks. If you face any issues during the installation process, you can refer to the oVirt documentation or seek assistance from the oVirt community.
