Ganeti is a powerful and flexible virtualization management tool that allows you to create and manage virtual machines on a cluster of physical servers. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps required to install Ganeti on MXLinux latest.
Before we begin, ensure that:
The first step is to update the MXLinux system by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
This will update the system packages to the latest version.
Next, we need to install the dependencies required for Ganeti. Run the following command to do so:
sudo apt install build-essential autoconf automake libtool libxen-dev libxml2-dev libyajl-dev libboost-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev libglib2.0-dev libpcap-dev libnl-3-dev
Once the dependencies are installed, we can proceed to download and extract the Ganeti source code. Run the following commands in the terminal:
wget https://github.com/ganeti/ganeti/archive/refs/tags/v3.0.1.tar.gz
tar -xzf v3.0.1.tar.gz
cd ganeti-3.0.1/
Now, we can proceed to build and install Ganeti using the following commands:
./bootstrap
./configure
make
sudo make install
This will compile and install Ganeti on the MXLinux system.
Finally, we need to configure Ganeti by creating the cluster configuration file. Run the following command to do so:
sudo gnt-cluster init --no-ssh-init mycluster
This will create the cluster configuration file named "mycluster".
In this tutorial, we have gone through the steps required to install Ganeti on MXLinux latest. Ganeti is a powerful tool that enables you to create and manage virtual machines efficiently. You can now start using Ganeti to manage your virtual machines on MXLinux.
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!
