Hello!
I'm not sure if it's _possible_ to install oVirt on Ubuntu, but it isn't
supported:
There were efforts, several years ago, on porting oVirt to
Debian/Ubuntu. I do not think this ever matured enough for general
use. See also e.g. these, and note that they are all old and
unmaintained:
https://www.ovirt.org/develop/developer-guide/ubuntu.html
https://www.ovirt.org/develop/developer-guide/vdsm/on-debian.html
https://www.ovirt.org/develop/developer-guide/vdsm/on-ubuntu.html
From quick skimming, it seems like the above post describes how to
install an Ubuntu _VM_ inside an existing oVirt setup (which itself
does not run on Ubuntu - or at least, the post does not discuss that).
I have not tried that.
What You could do (and which is what I do, although not on Ubuntu) is to run a virtual
machine with qemu/KVM and on that VM You'd install CentOS Stream and there You can
install and run oVirt. I think that might be easier and/or more reliable (because it's
tested better) than getting oVirt to run directly on Ubuntu.
That's currently the best option for learning/playing/testing.
Good luck and best regards,
