How to Install Archipel on Fedora Server Latest

Archipel is an open-source virtualization management platform used to manage KVM Hypervisors. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Archipel on Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Fedora Server Latest installed on your system
A non-root user with sudo privileges

Step 1: Enable the EPEL repository

Archipel requires some packages that are not shipped with the default repositories of Fedora. Therefore, we need to enable the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository.

You can enable this repository by running the following command:

sudo dnf install epel-release

Step 2: Install the required packages

To install Archipel, we need to install some required packages. To install these packages, run the following command:

sudo dnf install python3-archipel-core python3-archipel-agent-hypervisor-qemu

Step 3: Configure the Firewall

Archipel uses some ports to communicate with the hypervisors. Therefore, we need to allow these ports in the firewall.

You can allow these ports by running the following commands:

sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=8000/tcp
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=16514/tcp
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

Step 4: Start the Archipel Services

To start the Archipel services, run the following command:

sudo systemctl start archipel-core.service archipel-node.service

To ensure the services automatically start after a system reboot, run the following command:

sudo systemctl enable archipel-core.service archipel-node.service

Step 5: Access the Archipel Web Interface

To access the Archipel web interface, open your web browser and navigate to:

http://your-ip-address:8000/

If you are accessing the web interface on the same system, you can use the following URL:

http://localhost:8000/

Conclusion

You have successfully installed Archipel on your Fedora Server Latest. You can now manage your KVM Hypervisors using the Archipel web interface.
