XCP-ng is a powerful virtualization platform that allows you to run multiple virtual machines on a single host. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the steps required to install XCP-ng on your Windows 11 machine.
Visit the XCP-ng website at http://www.xcp-ng.org/ and download the latest version of XCP-ng.
After downloading the XCP-ng ISO file, create a bootable USB drive using tools such as Rufus or BalenaEtcher.
Insert the bootable USB drive into your Windows 11 machine and reboot your computer. Press the appropriate key to enter the boot menu (usually F12 or Delete) and select the USB drive.
Once you've booted from the USB drive, you should see the XCP-ng installation menu. Select "Install XCP-ng" and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
Once the installation is complete, you need to configure XCP-ng properly. You can use either the web-based XCP-ng Center or command-line tools to configure settings like virtual networks, storage repositories, and virtual machines.
After configuring XCP-ng, you can create virtual machines and start using them to run your applications. You can create virtual machines using the XCP-ng Center or command-line tools.
Congratulations, you've successfully installed XCP-ng on Windows 11 and ready to start running virtual machines!
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!
