OpenNebula is an open-source cloud computing platform that allows you to manage and deploy virtualized resources. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing OpenNebula on Manjaro.
Before installing any software, it is essential to have an up-to-date system. Please open your terminal and update it using the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
OpenNebula relies on various packages to run correctly. Therefore, we will install essential dependencies with the below command:
sudo pacman -S wget gcc make ruby rubygems rubygem-json libxml2 libxslt sqlite libvirt
Once you have installed all the dependencies, you will want to download and install the OpenNebula package. Here are the steps:
Download the OpenNebula package using wget as follows:
wget -q -O- https://downloads.opennebula.org/repo/5.10/Ubuntu/18.04/PKG-GPG-KEY | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://downloads.opennebula.org/repo/5.10/Ubuntu/18.04 stable opennebula" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/opennebula.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt -y install opennebula
Once you have installed OpenNebula, start and enable the related services with the following command:
sudo systemctl start opennebula
sudo systemctl enable opennebula
Now that you have installed OpenNebula, you can verify that everything is working correctly. Run the following command to see the current status of the OpenNebula service:
sudo systemctl status opennebula
If the service is running without any errors, you have successfully installed OpenNebula on your Manjaro computer.
In this tutorial, we covered how to install OpenNebula on Manjaro. With this guide, you should be able to deploy and manage virtualized resources with OpenNebula.
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!
