XCP-ng is an open-source hypervisor based on the Xen Project. It allows you to create and manage virtual machines, and it's a great alternative to proprietary hypervisors, such as VMware or Hyper-V. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install XCP-ng on OpenSUSE Latest.
To install XCP-ng, you need a computer running OpenSUSE Latest with internet access. You also need to have root privileges on your system.
Before you can install XCP-ng, you need to install some dependencies. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo zypper install curl xen-tools iputils acl
This command will install the necessary packages to set up XCP-ng on your system.
Next, download the XCP-ng repo file by running the following command:
sudo curl -o /etc/zypp/repos.d/xcp-ng.repo http://mirror.xcp-ng.org/xcp-ng/xcp-ng.repo
This command will download the repo file and save it in the /etc/zypp/repos.d/ directory.
Now that you have downloaded the repo file, you can install XCP-ng by running the following command:
sudo zypper install xen xcp-ng-release
This command will install Xen and the XCP-ng release package.
To verify that XCP-ng is installed correctly, you can run the following command to check the version:
xen-version
This command should output the version number of XCP-ng that you just installed.
Finally, start the XCP-ng services by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start xcp-ng
This command will start the XCP-ng services and enable them to start automatically at system boot.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed XCP-ng on OpenSUSE Latest. You can now use it to create and manage virtual machines on your system.
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!
