Install libvirt on Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install -y libvirt-bin virtinst qemu-kvm virt-manager git wget genisoimage
sudo service libvirt-bin start

For the Windows VM support install bsdtar (this tool allows to extract zip archive from stdin):

sudo apt-get install bsdtar

Install on Fedora/CentOS

sudo yum install -y libvirt virt-install qemu-kvm virt-manager git wget genisoimage NetworkManager
sudo service libvirtd start

For the Windows VM support install bsdtar (this tool allows to extract zip archive from stdin):

sudo yum install bsdtar

This string inside your ~/.profile will allow you to use virsh:

export LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI=qemu:///system

Configure local resolver to use libvirt's dnsmasq

  • Ubuntu 18.04 (systemd-resolved (c))

The setting below is not preserved on reboot:

systemd-resolve --set-dns=192.168.122.1 --set-domain=vm --interface=virbr0

Verify:

systemd-resolve --status virbr0

Add the following section into libvirt default network (sudo virsh net-edit default):

  <domain name='vm' localOnly='yes'/>

And restart the network:

sudo virsh net-destroy default
sudo virsh net-start default
  • Ubuntu/Debian
virsh net-dumpxml default | sed -r ":a;N;\$!ba;s#.*address='([0-9.]+)'.*#nameserver \1#" | sudo tee -a /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head && sudo resolvconf -u
  • Fedora/CentOS
sudo systemctl enable NetworkManager
echo -e "[main]\ndns=dnsmasq" | sudo tee -a /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
virsh net-dumpxml default | sed -r ":a;N;\$!ba;s#.*address='([0-9.]+)'.*#server=\1\nall-servers#" | sudo tee /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d/libvirt_dnsmasq.conf
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager

Add current user into libvirt group (will allow you to run scripts without sudo)

sudo usermod -aG libvirtd $USER # for Debian/Ubuntu14.04/Ubuntu16.04
sudo usermod -aG libvirt $USER # for CentOS/Fedora/Ubuntu18.04

NOTE: You have to relogin into your UI environment to apply these changes.

Allow libvirt to read VMs images in your home directory

ACL solution

Add permissions

setfacl -m "u:libvirt-qemu:--x" $HOME # for Debian/Ubuntu
setfacl -m "u:qemu:--x" $HOME # for CentOS/Fedora

Remove permissions

Remove ACL entries only for libvirt
setfacl -m "u:libvirt-qemu:---" $HOME # for Debian/Ubuntu
setfacl -m "u:qemu:---" $HOME # for CentOS/Fedora
Remove all custom ACL entries
setfacl -b $HOME
getfacl $HOME

Groups solution

Add permissions

sudo usermod -aG $USER libvirt-qemu # for Debian/Ubuntu
sudo usermod -aG $USER qemu # for CentOS/Fedora
chmod g+x $HOME

Remove permissions

sudo usermod -G "" libvirt-qemu # for Debian/Ubuntu
sudo usermod -G "kvm" qemu # for CentOS/Fedora
chmod g-x $HOME

Configure virsh environment

echo "export LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI=qemu:///system" >> ~/.bashrc

Configure ~/.ssh/config

cat dot_ssh_config >> ~/.ssh/config
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/config

Run Flatcar VMs cluster of 3 nodes

./deploy_flatcar_cluster.sh -s 3

user_data file works only for Flatcar and contains a template for Flatcar configuration and it configures etcd2 and fleet.

Try out Tectonic

Create Tectonoic credentials files:

  • tectonic.lic # raw base64 encoded licence
  • docker.cfg # raw base64 encoded dockercfg

Deploy cluster:

./deploy_k8s_cluster.sh --tectonic

Enter your Kubernetes master node:

ssh core@k8s-master # [-i ~/.ssh/id_rsa]

Get Tectonic admin@example.com password:

kubectl --namespace=tectonic-system get secret tectonic-identity-admin-password -o template --template="{{.data.password}}" | base64 -d && echo

Login Tectonic:

https://k8s-master:32000

Username: admin@example.com Password: see above

Run other VMs

Linux

Run three CentOS VMs

./deploy_vms_cluster.sh -o centos -s 3

Windows

Run one Windows IE11.Win7 VM

./deploy_vms_cluster.sh -o windows -r IE11.Win7 -m 1024 -u 2

FreeBSD guest (experimental)

Download and run FreeBSD:

./deploy_vms_cluster.sh -o freebsd # for 10.3 RELEASE
./deploy_vms_cluster.sh -o freebsd -c 11.0 -r RC1 # for 11.0 RC1

FreeBSD QEMU images don't support cloud-init, so you have to configure network and ssh manually through the console:

dhclient vtnet0
echo 'sshd_enable=YES' >> /etc/rc.conf
echo 'ifconfig_DEFAULT=DHCP' >> /etc/rc.conf
echo 'PermitRootLogin yes' >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config
service sshd start
passwd

FreeBSD host (experimental)

pkg install bash wget bzip2 gnupg cdrtools libvirt qemu virt-manager
kldload vmm
libvirtd -d
ifconfig tap create
ifconfig bridge create
ifconfig bridge0 addm tap0 up

virt-install version > 1.4 should use following parameters:

--nographic \
--console nmdm,source.master=/dev/nmdm0A,source.slave=/dev/nmdm0B \
--network bridge=bridge0 \

and without --vnc flag. VNC flag produces following XML:

<graphics type="vnc" port="-1" keymap="en-us"/>

which causes internal error: cannot determine default video type error message.

Completely destroy and remove all related VMs cluster data

./remove_cluster.sh flatcar
