Archipel is a free and open-source virtualization tool that allows you to manage multiple virtual machines from a single interface. It offers a wide variety of features, including remote management capabilities, clustering, and virtual machine templates.
In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Archipel on Windows 11.
Before you begin, ensure that you have the following:
Archipel is written in Python, so you need to install Python on your Windows 11 machine.
Open the command prompt on your Windows 11 machine. Press the Windows key and type "cmd," then press Enter.
Type the following command to install Archipel using pip, the Python package installer:
pip install archipel
Note: If you get a message saying "'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file," you may need to add Python to your PATH environment variables, or open the command prompt as an administrator.
Once the installation is complete, you can start Archipel by typing the following command:
archipel-control
This will launch the Archipel control center, which you can use to manage your virtual machines.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Archipel on Windows 11. Now that you have Archipel installed, you can start exploring its features and capabilities. Good luck!
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!
