Installing Libvirtd in OpenSUSE

Installing this virtualization is very easy..

Installing process:

to install, just type this commands:

# Run as root:
zypper install -y libvirt-daemon-qemu libvirt-daemon-lxc libvirt virt-manager virt-what qemu qemu-kvm qemu-ksm qemu-arm qemu-user-static libguestfs lxc
systemctl enable --now libvirtd

And add your user to the proper group… the commands are:

# Run as root:
usermod -aG libvirt youruser

now you can use virt-manager to add/remove new virtual machines.

Useful Info:

  1. Use nocow for the subvol/partition where the images are (http://blog.jim.nz/2015/12/04/btrfs-subvolume-with-nocow.html)
