How to Install Ganeti on Void Linux

Ganeti is a virtual server cluster management tool that allows you to manage your virtual machines and resources easily. In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of installing Ganeti on Void Linux.

Prerequisites

• A server with Void Linux installed
• Root or sudo privileges

Steps

1. Update the package manager:

xbps-install -S

2. Install the required packages:

xbps-install -y git autoconf automake libtool pkg-config python3-simplejson python3-pyinotify python3-pycurl python3-inotify

3. Clone the Ganeti repository:

git clone git://git.ganeti.org/ganeti.git

4. Configure Ganeti:

cd ganeti
./bootstrap.sh
./configure --without-ganeti-webmgr
make

5. Install Ganeti:

make install

6. Initialize the Ganeti cluster configuration:

gnt-cluster init --secondary-ip=<secondary-ip>

Note: Replace <secondary-ip> with the secondary IP address of your server. If you don't have a secondary IP address, delete the --secondary-ip parameter.

7. Start Ganeti services:

systemctl start ganeti
systemctl start ganeti-httpd
systemctl start ganeti-noded

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Ganeti on Void Linux. You can now start using Ganeti to manage your virtual machines and 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!
