VirtKick is a simple, open source orchestrator. Managing virtual machines or Docker containers has never been easier.
That's the VirtKick Starter. It will allow you to start using VirtKick with a single click.
This is a heavy work in progress and not yet one-click install. Don't judge - it will be improved! Please report an issue if you face any problems. We need your help to make it bullet-proof. Thanks! :-)
Most things are already handled by virtkick-start, you only need Git.
sudo apt-get install git
Over time we plan to add streamlined installation for other distros as well. General rule of thumb is to have a development environment (make, g++), libvirt and qemu. virtkick-starter will try to setup rest by itself.
git clone https://github.com/virtkick/virtkick-starter.gitcd virtkick-starter./virtkick-start -dim
First start may take a couple of minutes due to download of various dependencies. It will ask for root password to setup things in setup/system.sh, as you may inspect. During run it will also download iso images to /home/virtkick/iso, make sure you have enough disk space left (~25 GB).
After everything is set up, open up http://localhost:3000/ and try out virtkick by creating a virtual machine or two. :) Happy hacking!
./virtkick-start -dm
git pull./virtkick-start -dim
See ./virtkick-start -h for other options.
Some environment variables may be set to customize:
PORT- reverse proxy listen port (defaults to 3000)RAILS_PORT- Rails web application listen port (defaults to 60000)WORKER_COUNT- number of background jobs workers (defaults to 2)NO_DOWNLOAD- skip download of iso files to/home/virtkick/iso
