In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of oVirt on Manjaro. oVirt is an open-source virtualization platform with powerful management capabilities, designed to manage your entire virtualized infrastructure.
Before we proceed with the installation, make sure you have the following prerequisites installed:
The first step is to add the oVirt repository to your Manjaro system. To do this, open the terminal and execute the following command:
sudo pacman -S ovirt-release
Once the oVirt repository is installed, update your system and install the required packages. Run the below commands in your terminal to do this:
sudo pacman -Syy
sudo pacman -S ovirt-engine ovirt-hosted-engine-setup
After the packages are installed, initialize the oVirt engine by running the command:
sudo hosted-engine --deploy
This command will launch the setup process for the oVirt engine. Follow the instructions as prompted, and provide the necessary information when asked.
Note: You will be prompted to provide an answer file while running the setup, which can be used to automate the setup process in future deployments.
Once the oVirt engine is deployed, you can access the oVirt Management Console by opening your web browser and navigating to https://localhost/ovirt-engine/.
Follow the on-screen instructions to configure the management console and create your first data center and cluster.
After configuring the management console, you can deploy the oVirt hosts by following the steps:
Congratulations! You have successfully installed oVirt on Manjaro, and your virtualization infrastructure is now up and running.
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!
