oVirt on EL8 derivatives now that CentOS Stream 8 is EOL
Hi, To install oVirt on EL8 derivatives, https://www.ovirt.org/download/install_on_rhel.html has instructions on how to disable the extras repo, and configures two repositories from CentOS 8 Stream. Now that CentOS 8 Stream is EOL, what is the procedure to install/update oVirt on EL8 machines? Have the required packages from CentOS Stream 8 been merged in EL8.10? Unfortunately, migrating to CentOS Stream 9 is not an option in our environment as we need SPICE support, which has been dropped in EL9. Regards, Rik -- Rik Theys System Engineer KU Leuven - Dept.

Hi Rik, Nice to see other people in Belgium are using oVirt :) I guess oVirt should work fine on EL8.10, might just want to try and see what errors you get? Another option might be to go for CentOS Stream 9, but use qemu-kvm with SPICE: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/ligenix/enterprise-qemu-spice/ But that might need some patches to other parts in oVirt.
