Virt-Manager on multiple pc's
-
Do you have https://virt-manager.org/ on multiple pc's?
How did you "export" the configs?
How do you keep them in sync? -

How do you keep them in sync?I've got it on 3 (2 Ubuntu systems and 1 Windows system)... The configuration is stored on the KVM host you are connecting to. I've not had to export anything or keep any of my 3 systems in sync. Just tell it which KVM server to connect to, and off we go.

That means having to re-enter those connections every time you have a new device?
If you only have a few hosts, no big deal.
If you have like 50, that's a real PITA -

I read somewhere that you can copy the config in the dconf, I have not tried this!
-
Copying the contents in "Custom value" & pasting them in a new install works.
I still need to do some further testing.

Hmm interesting work with 50 VMs on it, good job. Whats the specs of the hypervisor ?
try looking here
/etc/dconf/db/database.d/
https://developer.gnome.org/dconf/unstable/dconf-overview.html -
sudo apt install dconf-cli dconf dump /org/virt-manager/the above for all virt manager settings, if you just want connections
dconf dump /org/virt-manager/virt-manager/connections/I cant believe linux has registry like shit to hide your settings in it.
to summarize:dconf dump /org/virt-manager/virt-manager/connections/ > backup.txt dconf load /org/virt-manager/virt-manager/connections/ < backup.txt -

Not 50 vm's, 50 hosts.

No, it was just an example to illustrate what a PITA it would be to enter xx number of connections everytime you have a new instance ot virt-manager.

I’m not seeing the issue here. Where would you be that would have that kind of infrastructure and no automation for SSH key authentication?

I think he's saying that if he had to replace his laptop he'd have to manually add those 50 connections back into Virt-Manager.

Anyone can make up stupid scenarios to make any solution look bad.

I have a desktop & 2 laptops, what's so stupid about that?

Anyone check the man page for virt-manager?
Make a creative script to automatically add all your kvm servers.
And its even easier when using SSH keys.virt-manager -c qemu+ssh://user@ip-address/system -

50 KVM hosts with no centralized management already planned
