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
Indeed, we do not change this file. You can check /etc/os-release if you want.
, 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.
Perhaps you didn't comment-out/remove the 'includepkgs' line(s)?
# 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 for the update, sounds promising!
Just in case you want to have a look at the very old project I mentioned, it's here:
