I'm currently looking for a tool to remotely manage the vms on my
server. I stumbled over kimchi. It's looking great from the
screenshots. But it's last release is from roughly 4 years ago. Is
there a successor or something similar?

It depends on the temperature and depth at which it was buried. It can
stay active for months at a time. Some people prefer it that way.

What hypervisor are you using?

Im planning on KVM...but I'm flexible with that

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh okay. In that case I can't help you, but I'm sure someone else can
and will.

Just use cockpit. It ships with red hat based releases.

I'm not familiar with Kimchi, but would [Cockpit](https://cockpit-
project.org/) work? It has a virtual machines tab that can manage KVM
VMs.

I think most people use Proxmox for that these days

You can use cockpit-machines, no? :)

it won’t get my vms connected to internet, anyone have any
suggestions?

You have to make sure your user has permissions to use KVM and
everything underneath.

Also, could you be more clear as to what the exact problem is?

xcp-ng may be worth looking into

running a user vm, the virtual machine doesn’t get an ip

----------------------------------------------------------------------
isThisRight-- · 2023-10-09 10:15

It’s connected to a NIC and a network that has DHCP, right?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
SrIzan10 · 2023-10-09 10:43

yes

----------------------------------------------------------------------
isThisRight-- · 2023-10-09 11:06

Can you console into the machine and verify that the NIC is on?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
SrIzan10 · 2023-10-09 11:09

yes it’s up

----------------------------------------------------------------------
isThisRight-- · 2023-10-09 11:38

What if you run the VM as System instead of User, does it get an IP
then?

That seems promising. Thanks
