Is oVirt a dead project ???
by Diggy Mc 17 Sep '25

17 Sep '25

Based on the lack of list activity and updates, I am starting to think oVirt is a dead project. I sure hope not. It is a great product. My two cents: Whomever at Red Hat decided to abandon RHEV is an idiot. j/s Does anyone know if Oracle plans to fund the oVirt project? I think it would be a great move on their part. I believe virtualization still has a future for years to come. If oVirt is a dead project, what is the next best choice enterprise virtualization? ProxMox? Microsoft Hypervisor? Something else? Feedback is appreciated because I manage/recommend virtualization solutions for several small- and medium-sized companies.

Hi all! There hasn't been a new release for almost two years... Someone should say something, but not empty promises.

Hi, for those of you using Foreman with oVirt: Please note that starting with Foreman 3.16 you have to install a new oVirt plugin. The plugin will be available from both the official Foreman DNF/DEB repositories, as well as from rubygems.org. For those of you that would like to support the new oVirt plugin, use the GitHub issue tracker to create issues and submit pull-requests: https://github.com/markt-de/foreman_ovirt/ Ciao - Frank

Were you able to get this working? To fix the problem: 1. Download the Engine CA Certificate (pki-resource) 2. Copy the Engine CA Certificate to /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors 3. run #update-ca-trust extract 4. Restart your web browser and login to oVirt Manager 5. Check VM - Console settings 6. Launch Console - Open .vv file and you should be connected If it errors check DNS make sure you can resolve to your ovirt-engine. -Mark
