Nice, they are using the correct drivers from the start. All VirtIO paravirtual drivers, no emulated crap like e1000.

That means for windows OS you need to configure the VirtIO drivers prior, but this is much better for performance

Yup but not latest version so there are missing features,

yum -y update
yum install cockpit
yum install cockpit-machines # Optional for KVM Managing
https://server-ip:9090

You can install the beta version of it here:
http://pldelisle.no-ip.info:8090/display/HomeNetwork/Install+Cockpit+beta+in+CentOS+7

But even after using this link the max we can get is
157-1.el7.centos

Unless someone can search this repo for something better:

It's the same on Fedora.
If you want the "full-blown, everything" cockpit, you have to update & install cockpit.

You can also install the optional features:

Why would you need a beta version when the current version 161 is good & ready to go (aka production ready)?

You need version 161

Alex Sage

@fateknollogee I just installed it on CentOS

Alex Sage

I installed cockpit-machines

FATeknollogee

Check your version of Cockpit. To create VMs, it has to be 161.

Centos users have to wait even beta is only up till version 157

UNless you can install from source ?

Y'all ever heard of Fedora...:grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: https://getfedora.org/en/server/

We're using a fork of CentOS that's supported by a major vendor.

A fork? That's even worse

Whats your thought on Oracle Linux ?

https://linux.oracle.com/switch/centos/

Besides the fact that we are talking about Oracle, the idea itself is neat the ability to switch seamlessly and get support for people that need that cause they got smart linux people + no need to reformat and reinstall like RHEL ?
