7.5 no webvirt manager and machine

[Krajczar_Jeno (Krajczár Jenő)]

NethServer Version: NethServer release 7.5.1804 (final)
Module: webvirtmgr

Hi,

I just installed a 7.5 server.
There is no webvirt manager and virtual machine.
How can I install it, or what is it for?
I would need a minimal windows virtual machine.

thanks

WebVirtMgr is no longer maintained upstream. An alternative is to use libvirt with virt-manager:

The WebVirtMgr project is no longer maintained and the corresponding module has been removed along with nethserver-libvirt package. See Virtual machines chapter for details on how to use virtualization

There’s a thread discussing alternatives:

WebVirtMgr alternatives

Oh noooo, not the beloved Virt Manager Solution. “The WebVirtMgr project is no longer maintained and the corresponding module has been removed along with nethserver-libvirt package.” Does anybody has an idea on how to handle virtual machines on a stand allone Nethserver hardware? Nethserver does not hav a GUI and handling via libvirt / command line is a little, say, annoying. I do not have (and I do not want) another Linux machine just to run VirtManager. Thanks for help and tips. Best re…

I would opt to install virt-manager on my desk/laptop. If I needed a seperate VM manager.
The easier (and IMO better) way is installing ProxMox and have NS as a VM on that.
