ConVirt is an open-source infrastructure management software that allows virtualization administrators to manage multiple virtualization technologies including KVM, Xen, and VMware. In this tutorial, we will be guiding you on how to install ConVirt on MXLinux.
Before starting with the installation process, you need to have:
Follow the steps below to install ConVirt on your MXLinux system:
First, you need to install the dependencies required for ConVirt. Open the terminal and execute the following command:
sudo apt-get install -y wget unzip openjdk-8-jdk
This command will install the wget, unzip, and openjdk-8-jdk packages that are required for ConVirt.
After installing the dependencies, download ConVirt by running the following command in the terminal:
wget https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/convirt/convirt-2.0/2.0.5/convirt-2.0.5.bin.zip
Once the download is complete, extract the downloaded archive using the following command:
unzip convirt-2.0.5.bin.zip
Now, navigate to the extracted directory and run the installation script:
cd convirt-2.0.5
sudo ./convirt.sh install
This will start the installation process.
After the installation process is complete, start ConVirt using the following command:
sudo /etc/init.d/convirtd start
Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080/convirt. This will open the ConVirt login page. Use the default username and password (admin/admin) to log in.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed ConVirt on your MXLinux system. Now, you can manage your virtualization technologies with ease.
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!
