`virt-manager` or *Virtual Machine Manager* is a frontend for managing virtual machines through *libvirt*. It primarily targets KVM virtual machines but is also capable of managing Xen and LXC. In this post we will focus on KVM.
|
||||
|
||||
*All commands in this post are supposed to be run as root.*
|
||||
|
||||
## Installing necessary tools
|
||||
We will install libvirt, QEMU and a spice client.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
apt-get --no-install-recommends install qemu-utils qemu-kvm virt-manager libvirt-clients libvirt-daemon-system virtinst bridge-utils gir1.2-spiceclientglib-2.0 gir1.2-spiceclientgtk-3.0 virt-viewer libosinfo-bin
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Setting up libvirt
|
||||
### Set up networking
|
||||
libvirt ships with a default network profile. Here we enable it have it start automatically. This will allow the virtual machines to connect to the internet.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
virsh net-start default
|
||||
virsh net-autostart default
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Add yourself to necessary groups
|
||||
Here you will add yourself to the necessary groups to avoid running as root every time you want to run a virtual machine. Replace `<user>` with normal user.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
adduser <user> libvirt
|
||||
adduser <user> libvirt-qemu
|
||||
adduser <user> kvm
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Enable and start libvirt
|
||||
Apt automatically enables and starts `libvirtd.service`. We do it again anyways.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
systemctl enable libvirtd.service
|
||||
systemctl restart libvirtd.service
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now you should be able to install and manage virtual machines through virt-manager.
