Creating an oVirt Engine Appliance on a different EL Distro (eg Rocky Linux)

Hi All, Here's an interesting question: What is the process (ie the Step-By-Step process) to create an/the oVirt Engine Appliance based on another version of EL (ie in my case, Rocky Linux)? Is there a "Manual" somewhere? I mean, surely the oVirt Project's Release Manager has *something* that they follow to create the relevant rpm file - no? Cheers Dulux-Oz

You're probably looking for the instructions to manually install onto a "Stand alone" environment. Yes, it can be done - it just needs to be installed on RHEL 8.6 derivatives. See https://ovirt.org/documentation/installing_ovirt_as_a_standalone_manager_wit... for detailed instructions.

I think you're searching for https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-appliance ; I am not sure about details how it's built, you may have more luck to get details on the ovirt-devel mailinglist On 10/2/22 08:45, Matthew J Black wrote:

Thanks David & Klaas, I think Klass is closer to what I was asking - and I'll follow his suggestion about asking on the Dev List I appreciate the help from both of you - thank you :-) Cheers Dulux-Oz
