oVirt is an open-source virtualization management platform that helps manage virtualized resources such as storage, networking, and compute resources. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the installation process of oVirt on Ubuntu Server latest version.
The first thing we need to do is to update the system. To do that, run the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Next, we need to install some dependencies that are required by oVirt. To do that, run the following command:
sudo apt install -y wget qemu-kvm libvirt-daemon-system libvirt-clients bridge-utils virtinst libvirt-daemon virt-manager nfs-common
Now that we have installed all the required dependencies, we can proceed to install oVirt.
To enable the oVirt repository on Ubuntu server, run the following commands:
sudo wget http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release44.rpm
sudo alien -i ovirt-release44.rpm
To install oVirt Engine, run the following command:
sudo apt install -y ovirt-engine
Once oVirt Engine is installed, run the following command to configure it:
sudo engine-setup
This command will start the configuration process. You will be prompted with a series of questions during the configuration process.
By default, oVirt uses ports 80, 443, and 5432. To allow access to these ports, run the following commands:
sudo ufw allow 80/tcp
sudo ufw allow 443/tcp
sudo ufw allow 5432/tcp
Finally, start the oVirt Engine and related services with the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable ovirt-engine
sudo systemctl start ovirt-engine
In this tutorial, you learned how to install oVirt on Ubuntu Server latest version. Now you can start using oVirt to manage your virtual resources.
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!
