      What features are you looking for? What stuff is, for example, oVirt lacking?

      I'll have to read up on oVirt before I can answer that one. I had not heard of it until today. Thanks for the tip.

      https://ovirt.org/documentation/architecture/architecture/

      That looks nightmareish for something that should be quite simple.

      I took a quick look at: https://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Management_Tools

      I actually setup kimchi once, wasn't to bad from what I remember. It got blown away with the last home lab wipe tho 😕

        oVirt is super simple. They have a live boot ISO ready to go to install.

          I was in the middle of testing it before something came up that took precedence

            Ok, it's just that one page then. Much better.

              Kimchi is another one. But for the Link is more technical on that but is simpler than that.

                It's a good tool, maybe not what you want, but one that you need to be aware of.

                  I dont think it is super simple at all, if you ask me it is big mess. Only usable in big IT corp.

                    What's difficult about it? In using it, it was just "install and bam, it worked". An SMB would find it far easier than the competition, from what I've used.

                      Isn’t there a script that can be reused at the end of setup, after installing the first time for quicker deployments?

                        That's easily possible, but not something that I've noticed.
