oVirt is an open-source virtualization management platform that can be used to manage virtual machines, storage, and networks. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install oVirt on OpenSUSE.
Before we start, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to install the dependencies required for oVirt. Open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo zypper install -y net-tools libvirt libvirt-python libvirt-client \
python-pillow python2-pip python-virtualenv python-devel gcc \
openssl openssl-devel libffi-devel xmlrpc-c-devel \
device-mapper-devel lvm2-devel
This command will install all the necessary packages required for oVirt.
Once the dependencies are installed, download the oVirt image from the official website using the following command:
wget https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.4/iso/ovirt-node-ng-installer-4.4.8-1.el8.iso
Next, mount the ISO file by creating a directory to mount it and then mount the ISO file:
sudo mkdir /mnt/ovirt
sudo mount -o loop ovirt-node-ng-installer-4.4.8-1.el8.iso /mnt/ovirt
Now, navigate to the mounted directory and install the oVirt engine:
cd /mnt/ovirt
sudo ./install.sh --engine
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
After the installation is complete, we need to configure oVirt. Run the following command to configure oVirt:
sudo engine-setup
Follow the on-screen instructions to configure oVirt. This process may take a few minutes to complete.
Once the configuration is complete, you can access the oVirt web interface by navigating to https://<ovirt-ip-address>/ovirt-engine in your web browser.
Log in using the credentials you provided during the configuration process.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured oVirt on OpenSUSE. You can now manage virtual machines, storage, and networks using the oVirt web interface.
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!
