import/export of virtual machines
by Schnieders, Siegfried 28 May '21

28 May '21

Dear kimchi team, searching for a web based solution to manage KVM virtual machines I found KIMCHI/WOK. It installed fine on my system (Debian 10), first tests are promising. Now I am looking for the feature "import/export a VM". The idea ist o use 3rd party appliances on my server. Is such a feature planned for KIMCHI? Or do you have hints for best practices? Copying the qcow2-Image via scp to our server and generate a new VM that uses this image worked. But you need an additional scp client on the managing machine.an some technical understanding.

Problem running Kimchi from Ubuntu 18.04
by Eric 10 Feb '20

10 Feb '20

I’m hoping it’s okay to ask about an installation problem on this list. I’m trying to run Kimchi from Ubuntu 18.04LTS and the “Virtualization” tab doesn’t show up. The output is shown below. I’m guessing it’s a problem with dependencies, but I have no idea what to fix. I’ve tried re-installing multiple times. The only dependency issue I’ve seen in the output is that “python3-cheetah” is no longer available in the repositories. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Eric sudo python3 /usr/bin/wokd --environment=dev Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/wokd", line 28, in <module> from optparse import OptionParser File "/usr/lib/python3.6/optparse.py", line 77, in <module> import textwrap File "/usr/lib/python3.6/textwrap.py", line 8, in <module> import re File "/usr/lib/python3.6/re.py", line 142, in <module> class RegexFlag(enum.IntFlag): AttributeError: module 'enum' has no attribute 'IntFlag' Error in sys.excepthook: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apport_python_hook.py", line 53, in apport_excepthook if not enabled(): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apport_python_hook.py", line 24, in enabled import re File "/usr/lib/python3.6/re.py", line 142, in <module> class RegexFlag(enum.IntFlag): AttributeError: module 'enum' has no attribute 'IntFlag' Original exception was: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/wokd", line 28, in <module> from optparse import OptionParser File "/usr/lib/python3.6/optparse.py", line 77, in <module> import textwrap File "/usr/lib/python3.6/textwrap.py", line 8, in <module> import re File "/usr/lib/python3.6/re.py", line 142, in <module> class RegexFlag(enum.IntFlag): AttributeError: module 'enum' has no attribute 'IntFlag'

by Aline Manera 03 Aug '17

03 Aug '17

On behalf of everyone who has worked hard on this release, I am pleased to announce the availability of *Wok 2.5* and *Kimchi 2.5*! Kimchi 2.5 depends on *Wok 2.5*! So make sure to have both of them properly installed in your system. Among many features, Wok 2.5 release includes: ✔ Allow Wok server discover others on same subnet (Check: README-federation.md for more details) ✔ Remove OpenSans fonts need ✔ Bug fixes Kimchi 2.5 release includes: ✔ Does not depend on Ginger Base anymore ✔ Remove OpenSans fonts need ✔ Move federation feature to Wok ✔ Bug fixes We have worked hard to ensure that Wok and Kimchi run well on the most popular Linux distributions including: Fedora 25, Ubuntu 17.04, openSUSE LEAP 42.2, and CentOS 7. They use standard Linux interfaces so it should run well on many other distributions too. You can easily grab this release in tarball format or via git: ✔ https://github.com/kimchi-project/wok/archive/2.5.0.tar.gz ✔ https://github.com/kimchi-project/kimchi/archive/2.5.0.tar.gz ✔ git clone -b stable-2.5.x --recursive https://github.com/kimchi-project/wok.git There are also some packages available for download at: ✔http://kimchi-project.github.io/wok/downloads/ ✔http://kimchi-project.github.io/kimchi/downloads/ Go ahead! Give it a try and let us know what you think! Although the Wok and Kimchi development have slowed down due the small number of active developers, Kimchi and Wok are still alive! And I will do my best to keep them going. Any help on any area is more than welcome. I count on you to make it better and better. ;-) Regards, Aline Manera

Cleaning up the datastore erros
by WK 12 Jul '17

12 Jul '17

Our kimchi hosts have people constantly working on from the command line including changing qcow2 image names (our practice is to name them similar to the instance name so its easy to see whats up in /var/lib/libvirt/images) So after a while the wok error log is full of these messages. and we often get reoccuring pink error message in the WebUI. Is there a way to cleanout/fix/ignore the datastore -bill WOKOBJST0001E: Unable to find 5f48fb31-0d73-4df7-948c-02beefee83d1 in datastore WOKOBJST0001E: Unable to find c7d94dcb-185f-4917-9b2e-d304f5ce807b in datastore WOKOBJST0001E: Unable to find d7f82fc8-44dd-484f-aaf9-f4ed0de3efe3 in datastore WOKOBJST0001E: Unable to find f88269b8-8ca9-4689-b8aa-c7e720e3c396 in datastore WOKOBJST0001E: Unable to find b46491f9-4351-4b82-ad57-87568dd55f3e in datastore WOKOBJST0001E: Unable to find 7c34a9fd-b3b6-4894-a6f1-baf6b7099403 in datastore WOKOBJST0001E: Unable to find 0eb316fe-803c-4b25-9dae-522c02748e5c in datastore WOKOBJST0001E: Unable to find 4e5663b8-300d-4ad0-8959-ecdc489e8c71 in datastore WOKOBJST0001E: Unable to find 5f48fb31-0d73-4df7-948c-02beefee83d1 in datastore WOKOBJST0001E: Unable to find c7d94dcb-185f-4917-9b2e-d304f5ce807b in datastore

Help : PAM authentication as user

Dear Users, Please suggest pointers on where and what to change in wok config so the PAM authentication for my user goes through. Right now, it just comes back to the login page.

Wok Feedback
by Jason Jack 11 Jul '17

11 Jul '17

Kimchi Dev, I didn't want to post an issue, because I solved it, but I think it'd be useful to post a README update on how to update Wok to to listen on all network devices so as to be accessed outside of localhost. I was able to do so by updating /etc/nginx/conf.d/wok.conf to change 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0 and then updating semanage rules: (on Centos 7) sudo systemctl stop wokd sudo systemctl stop nginx sudo sed -ri 's/127.0.0.1/0.0.0.0/g' /etc/nginx/conf.d/wok.conf sudo semanage port -a -t http_port_t -p tcp 8001 sudo semanage port -a -t http_port_t -p tcp 8010 sudo semanage port -m -t http_port_t -p tcp 8000 sudo systemctl start wokd Then after accessing from another machine I had to accept the SSL certificates first, where it redirected me to http://127.0.0.1:8010/login.html, which was confusing. Back after going back to https://my-kimchi-host:8001 the login page successfully loaded. I found this confusing and couldn't find any documentation or guide. I think others may find this information useful. Should I post this to the issue board for feedback? Sincerely, Jason

users can't create VMs (guests)
by panda 11 Jul '16

11 Jul '16

Hi! we are trying Kimchi to setup a small lab environment where different users could easily deploy test vms. Our kimchi installation v2.2.0 [0] works very well: guest creation, network/storage configuration etc.. There is a thing we can't do: Guest creation being users. I already tried to add my test user "banana" to the groups libvirt kvm libvirt-qemu and even root without success (and then I removed the root group from banana). When in "Virtualization" --> "Guests" I click "+ Add a Guest" nothing happens. The hover of the button is: "javascript:void(0);", same thing happens with the buttons "Add a Storage" and "Add a Network". I tried to search for a solution with no luck, is there an option/config to allow a user create the Guests? With the test user "banana" I am able to install a vm via virt-install without issues, the groups which banana is member are: # groups banana banana : banana libvirt kvm libvirt-qemu Thank you Matteo [0]: v2.2.0 for wok, gingerbase and kimchi. On Debian 8.5

Kimchi Question
by sunpenghua＠sina.com 01 Jun '16

01 Jun '16

Hi, My name is Penghua and I am currently trying to install Kimchi to my server. My OS is RHEL 6.6. I followed the instruction from Github and I thought I have installed it successful. By using Firefox, I could log in but there was no 'Virtualization' tab. Then I found the logo on the left up corner showed 'Wok' rather than 'Kimchi'. So I know the installation might have some problem. Can you help me? Also, I attached a screenshot with this email to show the situation. Thanks. -------------------------------- Penghua Sun PH: +8613488651111 sunpenghua(a)sina.com

wok-2.0.0-0.noarch.deb / Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS / exit code 127
by Alexander Tomisch 10 Mar '16

10 Mar '16

Hello, I tried to install wok-2.0.0-0.noarch.deb on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS but dpkg fails because of the exit error 127 in the postinst script. It seems that "type /bin/systemctl" exits with this error, because this file is missing (Ubuntu 14.04 is not using systemd). I changed the script like this: #systemd_exists=$(type /bin/systemctl > /dev/null 2>&1; echo $?) #if test $systemd_exists = "0"; then if [ -e /bin/systemctl ]; then /bin/systemctl enable wokd > /dev/null 2>&1 /bin/systemctl daemon-reload > /dev/null 2>&1 /bin/systemctl start wokd > /dev/null 2>&1 fi ... and it worked for me. Kind regards, Alex

Hint: wokd vs. German locale / NotFoundError: GGBCPUINF0006E
by Alexander Tomisch 10 Mar '16

10 Mar '16

Hello, I'm using Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS with German locale and had a problem starting wokd: [...] wok.exception.NotFoundError: GGBCPUINF0006E: GGBCPUINF0006E This is because the output of lscpu in lscpu.py is filtered for "Core(s) per socket" but with the German locale set the output is "Kern(e) pro Socket". So I started wokd with LC_ALL=C and it works. (There is no init script to start wokd - only systemd - so I had to start it manually) export LC_ALL=C && wokd --environment=/etc/wok/wok.conf Just as hint for other users with changed locale. Kind regards, Alex

Thanks & Kimchi proper documentation/wiki
by Bertrand Caplet 10 Mar '16

10 Mar '16

Hey there, first of all I want to thank everyone who helped this project to get at this point. I really love Kimchi, it's easy to use and well thought. The only complaint I can make is the lack of documentation. What do you guys think about creating a documentation site or a wiki for Kimchi ? I'm willing to host it if you want. Just say what you think about this idea, I'm really open.

Management Interface
by Raffael Luthiger 12 Apr '15

12 Apr '15

Hi, Is it within kimchi possible to create a "management interface". What I need is sort of a bridged network which can have and IP address. I want to migrate several VMs on a new host which is managed by kimchi. So I need a "vlan" where the new VMs will be in and at the same time my host needs to have one interface in this vlan as well. What is the correct configuration for this? I could missuse a "nat" network but in the kimchi interface it is not possible to set an IP address. Should I create such a nat network and then edit it by hand? Thanks, Raffael

Hi! About: https://github.com/kimchi-project/kimchi/blob/master/docs/README.md#install… There is a section for "For Fedora and RHEL" And further in the page "If using RHEL6, install the following additional packages:" Does that mean that "For Fedora and RHEL" should become "For Fedora and RHEL7" ?

Kimchi time-out
by Martin Fullam 22 Jul '14

22 Jul '14

I find myself being auto-logged out of Kimchi often, and after seemingly short periods of inactivity. Also, it seems to depend on the Kimchi page or dialog I'm on, although I may just be imagining this. Can someone explain the Kimchi timeout policy, why it exists, and whether there's a way to change it or shut it off entirely? (And if not now, or yet, is there an outstanding request to allow the timeout policy to be configurable? Or is there some inherent reason it is what it is and will never be changed?) Thanks
