Ganeti is a cluster virtualization management system that allows you to create virtual machines and manage them remotely. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Ganeti on Manjaro.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following installed on your system:
First, we need to install the dependencies that Ganeti requires. Open a terminal and enter the following command:
sudo pacman -S ganeti
This command will install all the required packages for Ganeti to function properly.
Next, we need to configure the network interfaces on our system. You can do this by editing the /etc/network/interfaces file. Open a terminal and enter the following command:
sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
Add the following lines to the file:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address <IP-ADDRESS>
netmask <SUBNET-MASK>
gateway <DEFAULT-GATEWAY>
dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8
Replace IP-ADDRESS, SUBNET-MASK, and DEFAULT-GATEWAY with the respective values for your network.
Save the file and exit the editor.
Now, we need to start the Ganeti services. Enter the following command to start the services:
sudo systemctl start ganeti
sudo systemctl start ganeti-kvmd
sudo systemctl start ganeti-wconfd
sudo systemctl start ganeti-noded
This will start all the required services for Ganeti to function properly.
Finally, we need to verify the installation of Ganeti. Enter the following command to check the status of the Ganeti services:
sudo systemctl status ganeti
If everything is installed and configured correctly, you should see a message indicating that the services are running.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Ganeti on Manjaro! You can now create virtual machines and manage them remotely using the Ganeti web interface or command line tools.
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!
