When installing Fedora, you can install the virtualization packages by
|
|
selecting *Virtualization* in the *Base Group* in the installer. See xref:f{MAJOROSVER}@fedora:install-guide:install/Installing_Using_Anaconda.adoc[Installing Using Anaconda].
|
|
|
|
For existing Fedora installations, you can install the virtualization tools via the command line using the Virtualization Package Group. To view the packages, run:
|
|
|
|
[source,shell,subs="attributes"]
|
|
----
|
|
$ dnf groupinfo virtualization
|
|
|
|
Group: Virtualization
|
|
Description: These packages provide a graphical virtualization environment.
|
|
Mandatory Packages:
|
|
virt-install
|
|
Default Packages:
|
|
libvirt-daemon-config-network
|
|
libvirt-daemon-kvm
|
|
qemu-kvm
|
|
virt-manager
|
|
virt-viewer
|
|
Optional Packages:
|
|
libguestfs-tools
|
|
python3-libguestfs
|
|
virt-top
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
. Run the following command to install the mandatory and default packages in the virtualization group:
|
|
+
|
|
[source,shell,subs="attributes"]
|
|
----
|
|
# sudo dnf install @virtualization
|
|
----
|
|
+
|
|
Alternatively, to install the mandatory, default, and optional packages, run:
|
|
+
|
|
[source,shell,subs="attributes"]
|
|
----
|
|
# sudo dnf group install --with-optional virtualization
|
|
----
|
|
+
|
|
. After the packages install, start the `libvirtd` service:
|
|
+
|
|
[source,shell,subs="attributes"]
|
|
----
|
|
# sudo systemctl start libvirtd
|
|
----
|
|
+
|
|
To start the service on boot, run:
|
|
+
|
|
[source,shell,subs="attributes"]
|
|
----
|
|
# sudo systemctl enable libvirtd
|
|
----
|
|
+
|
|
. To verify that the KVM kernel modules are properly loaded:
|
|
+
|
|
[source,shell,subs="attributes"]
|
|
----
|
|
$ lsmod | grep kvm
|
|
kvm_amd 114688 0
|
|
kvm 831488 1 kvm_amd
|
|
----
|
|
+
|
|
If this command lists `kvm_intel` or `kvm_amd`, KVM is properly configured.

By default, libvirt will create a private network for your guests on the host machine. This private network will use a 192.168.x.x subnet and not be reachable directly from the network the host machine is on. However, virtual guests can use the host machine as a gateway and can connect out via it. If you need to provide services on your guests that are reachable via other machines on your host network you can use iptables DNAT rules to forward in specific ports, or you can set up a bridged environment.
|
|
|
|
See the https://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Networking[libvirt networking setup page] for more information on how to setup a bridged network.
