Today, I would like to talk to you about how to understand Kimchi. Many people may not know much about it. In order to make you understand better, the editor has summarized the following contents for you. I hope you can get something from this article.

Kimchi is a KVM management tool based on HTML5. The original purpose of her design is to simplify the operation of KVM, including the opening of KVM and the creation of KVM virtual machines.

Kmichi runs on the host server as a background process. She manages KVM through libvirt. Her management interface is in the form of a browser and supports HTML5.

The following browsers are supported:

Desktop browser:

* Internet Explorer:** IE9+

* Chrome:** Current-1 version

* Firefox:** Current-1 version Firefox 24ESR

* Safari:** Current-1 version

* Opera:** Current-1 version

Mobile tool browser:

* Safari iOS:** Current-1 version

* Android Browser** Current-1 version

Current-1 indicates support for the current stable version and a previous version.

Kimchi installation dependencies:

For fedora and RHEL

$sudo yum install gcc make autoconf automake gettext-devel git\

Python-cherrypy python-cheetah libvirt-python\

Libvirt libxml2-python python-imaging\

PyPAM m2crypto python-jsonschema rpm-build\

Qemu-kvm python-psutil python-ethtool sos\

Python-ipaddr python-lxml nfs-utils\

Iscsi-initiator-utils libxslt pyparted nginx\

Policycoreutils-python python-libguestfs\

Libguestfs-tools

# if you use RHEL6, install the following dependency package:

$sudo yum install python-unittest2 python-ordereddict

# restart libvirt to make the modified configuration take effect

$sudo service libvirtd restart

The following packages require a version:

Python-psutil > = 0.6.0

Some packages are available locally and some need to be downloaded manually.

For debian systems:

$sudo apt-get install gcc make autoconf automake gettext git\

Python-cherrypy3 python-cheetah python-libvirt\

Libvirt-bin python-libxml2 python-imaging\

Python-pam python-m2crypto python-jsonschema\

Qemu-kvm libtool python-psutil python-ethtool\

Sosreport python-ipaddr python-lxml nfs-common\

Open-iscsi lvm2 xsltproc python-parted nginx\

Firewalld python-guestfs libguestfs-tools

Version limit of the package:

Python-jsonschema > = 1.3.0

Python-psutil > = 0.6.0

Compile and install:

-

$. / autogen.sh-system

#. / configure # there may be this step

$make

$sudo make install # Optional if running from the source tree

Run:

-

$sudo kimchid-host=0.0.0.0

How to use it:

Enter https://serverIP:8001 in the browser. You will see the interface shown in the figure (/ docs/kimichi-login.png)

Kimchi uses PAM user authentication technology, so you can log in to your host by entering your host's username and password. Then you will see something like this: (docs/kimchi-guest.png)

She shows you the running virtual machine and a screenshot of the virtual machine running in real time. You can use the action button to turn off the virtual machine or open the virtual machine in a new window.

If you want to create a virtual machine, click the + button at the top right to create it. In Kimchi, all virtual machines are created through templates.

You can view or modify the template through the template link (Template link) in the navigation bar above.

The template interface is shown in figure: (/ docs/kimchi-templates.png)

Through this interface, you can change the parameters of a template, or click the + button at the top right to create a new template.

To create a new template, you need an ISO image on your host, or on a remote host. If you want to use your own ISO, copy it to the out-of-the-box storage pool (the default path is: / var/lib/kimchi/isos).

After reading the above, do you have any further understanding of how to understand Kimchi? If you want to know more knowledge or related content, please follow the industry information channel, thank you for your support.
