In AlmaLinux (and Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Rocky Linux, and CentOS), libvirtd defaults to the user URI. When a regular user executes virsh list, they will see only the KVM virtual machines accessible to their user and will not see those started by the system. You can change this behavior so that regular users can list and interact with virtual […]
This is an example kickstart for a typical system with a single disk (nvme0n1) and a single network adapter (ens160). These values may need to be changed to suit your environment. It will copy additional Assets to the target system as described in Customizing the AlmaLinux Installer Media. The resulting system uses LUKS full-disk encryption (the LUKS and root user […]
This article shows you how to customize the AlmaLinux (or Red Hat Enterprise Linux, or Rocky Linux, or CentOS Linux) installer media to include a kickstart file and additional file assets. Commands prepended with # should be run as root while commands prepended with $ should be run as your regular user. Prerequisites A basic AlmaLinux workstation installation (temporary is […]

The linux kernel includes a capable hybrid Type I/II Hypervisor referred to as the Kernel Virtualization Modules (KVM) which forms the basis for enterprise-class virtualization solutions such as Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization. While it may lack some of the features of other commercial and non-commercial solutions like VMWare, Hyper-V or Virtualbox, KVM offers support for a plethora of guest operating systems and […]
