I have been trying to get a working oVirt install of the self-hosted engine for the past 2
days. I've tried AlmaLinux 9, Rocky Linux 9 and CentOS Stream 9. I wanted it to be a
"production ready" build and not use CentOS or the nightly oVirt repository. I
am constantly getting repository errors like "unable to resolve
mirrorlist.centos.org" even though I've edited the repo files and verified none
of them contain that mirror. My most recent attempt with a fresh install of CentOS Stream
9 and the nightly repository (from here
https://www.ovirt.org/develop/dev-process/install-nightly-snapshot.html) ends with error:
[ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost -> 192.168.1.13]: FAILED! => {"changed":
false, "msg": "Failed to download metadata for repo
'centos-ceph-pacific': Cannot prepare internal mirrorlist: Curl error (6):
Couldn't resolve host name for
http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=8-stream&arch=x86_64&repo=s...
[Could not resolve host: mirrorlist.centos.org]", "rc": 1,
"results": []}
I'm beyond frustrated and wondering how anyone is able to get this installed.
I've tried multiple walkthroughs and have tried following the oVirt documentation as
carefully as I can, but continually get errors. Can anyone point me to a proven
installation guide that does not error out? Or, is no one actually installing the
self-hosted engine and there's some other way I should be doing this? I was hoping to
use Rocky Linux and the standard master oVirt repo rather than CentOS and the nightly repo
in order to have a more stable system with less chance of development bugs.
Please help!
Thanks in advance.
