I am interested in using oVirt for my homelab but is it dead?
Hi there, I'm a huge Ansible fan and work a lot with OpenStack and OpenShift. At home I purchased an Intel NUC to host some services for my home(-lab). I was reading about oVirt and it sounded promising, I saw all the Ansible roles. I installed ovirt on CentOS 8 (and used the Ansible roles from the Galaxy) and hit few strange walls like the standard SSL cert not being accepted by Google Chrome on Mac OSX with error "revoked". Additionally the community seems so small compared to others (like Proxmox). So I guess what I wanted to ask is: Is it dead? What's the future of oVirt? Is Redhat investing in the project? Kind regards skrzetuski
I’ve been using ovirt for the past two years and I’d say it’s anything but dead. The releases and bug fixes have been fast and this mailing list In particular has been quite active. It may have slowed down a bit around the holidays. Did you download ovirt 4.3.7 or 4.4? 4.4 is beta and may be problematic. Centos8 support may not be fully there yet. You are installing on a nuc with a brand new OS, is expect to encounter a few problems with that setup. On Wed, Jan 1, 2020 at 6:47 AM <m.skrzetuski@gmail.com> wrote:

Well, that's good to hear. I'll give it a try in that case. I switched to CentOS 7 and run the 4.3.7 release. Some things are still pretty awkward, definitely not something that runs out of the box. - the SSL certificate was a pain, together with the alternative FQDN but that runs now - I am currently not able to start a console to view a VM and this with a running websocket proxy and necessary port up and firewall configured properly. I see errors in /var/log/messages but it's unclear to me what they mean.

I found the exact same issue @ https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-site/issues/1932. I did chmod /etc/pki/ovirt-engine/keys/apache.key.nopass and the issue is solved.

Please report any issues you run into. If they are bugs, it's best to open a bug in bugzilla. Thanks!

Yes :-(. RHV docs are more up-to-date there: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.3/htm... Sadly, ovirt.org is not kept up-to-date. You can usually check RHV docs, they should be 99% applicable.

When I try to open noVNC console I get the following.

No idea which permissions are missing.
I see that you already replied that you solved this. Thanks for the report! Best regards, -- Didi
Thank you for pointing that out, I'll look up stuff in the Redhat docs from now on.
