Archipel is an open-source solution for managing and supervising Virtualization infrastructures through a powerful and flexible Web Interface. In this guide, we will show you how to install Archipel on Void Linux.
Before starting, make sure that you have:
Archipel requires several dependencies to work correctly. Open up your terminal and run the following command to install the necessary packages:
sudo xbps-install -S python3 python3-pip libvirt libvirt-python3 libxml2-python3 openssl-devel libffi-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel libvirt-devel libvirt-glib-devel
After installing the dependencies, you can install Archipel by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo pip3 install archipel
This command will download and install the latest stable release of Archipel.
Once you have installed Archipel, you can configure it by creating its configuration file. Open up your terminal and run the following command to create a configuration file:
sudo cp /usr/share/doc/archipel/examples/archipel.conf.sample /etc/archipel/
After creating the configuration file, open it using your favorite text editor and edit the necessary options to suit your environment.
Finally, start the Archipel daemon using the following command:
sudo systemctl start archipel
If you want to start Archipel automatically at boot, run the following command:
sudo systemctl enable archipel
You can also check the status of the Archipel daemon by running:
sudo systemctl status archipel
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install and configure Archipel on Void Linux. Now you can start using Archipel to manage your Virtualization infrastructure through a fantastic 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!
