I think my last reply got lost, but sorry if two appear here.
Perhaps clarify your needs? Are you sure oVirt is the right solution?
The project I'm working on is similar to "QubesOS", so I don't need to
move the engine at all, but keeping this as light weight as possible is note-worthy. (I
want to run this on 8GB laptops, if possible). Seems like moving the engine VM to a
container is possible, so I'm optimistic. Once I get the node/engine figured out, I
can start on the GUI, that'll make api calls against the engine.
# With installing engine directly on a node
Even with enabling/disabling the repos, so they match a CentOS 8 install, I still
can't get the node to find "ovirt-engine-setup-base". I tried "yum repo
list all" to verify ovirt-4.4 was enabled, and I used --enablerepo / --disablerepo
flags, to match the CentOS repo's exactly. The weird thing is both OS's show the
same thing in /etc/centos-release, so I'm not sure you could only block one of them
from the repo, server side. I'm not sure what's going on here.
# With the engine inside a container
Finally got engine-setup to run inside a container! I need to figure out the networking
next, along with how to best hook up a postgresql db to it. This part is going smoothly so
far, I just wanted to update you all.
Thanks!
