Important: The openrc libvirtd init script is now broken up into two
|
|
separate services: libvirtd, that solely handles the daemon, and
|
|
libvirt-guests, that takes care of clients during shutdown/restart of the
|
|
host. In order to reenable client handling, edit /etc/conf.d/libvirt-guests
|
|
and enable the service and start it:
|
|
|
|
$ rc-update add libvirt-guests
|
|
$ rc-service libvirt-guests start
|
|
|
|
|
|
For the basic networking support (bridged and routed networks) you don't
|
|
need any extra software. For more complex network modes including but not
|
|
limited to NATed network, you can enable the 'virt-network' USE flag. It
|
|
will pull in required runtime dependencies
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are using dnsmasq on your system, you will have to configure
|
|
/etc/dnsmasq.conf to enable the following settings:
|
|
|
|
bind-interfaces
|
|
interface or except-interface
|
|
|
|
Otherwise you might have issues with your existing DNS server.
|
|
|
|
|
|
For openrc users:
|
|
|
|
Please use /etc/conf.d/libvirtd to control the '--listen' parameter for
|
|
libvirtd.
|
|
|
|
Use /etc/init.d/libvirt-guests to manage clients on restart/shutdown of
|
|
the host. The default configuration will suspend and resume running kvm
|
|
guests with 'managedsave'. This behavior can be changed under
|
|
/etc/conf.d/libvirt-guests
|
|
|
|
|
|
For systemd users:
|
|
|
|
The '--listen' parameter is unavailable when libvirtd is run as a
|
|
systemd unit.
|
|
|
|
The configuration for the 'libvirt-guests.service' is found under
|
|
/etc/libvirt/libvirt-guests.conf"
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have built libvirt with policykit support, a new group "libvirt" has
|
|
been created. Simply add a user to the libvirt group in order to grant
|
|
administrative access to libvirtd. Alternatively, drop a custom policykit
|
|
rule into /etc/polkit-1/rules.d.
|
|
|
|
If you have built libvirt without policykit support (USE=-policykit), you
|
|
must change the unix sock group and/or perms in /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf
|
|
in order to allow normal users to connect to libvirtd.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If libvirt is built with USE=caps, libvirt will now start qemu/kvm VMs
|
|
with non-root privileges. Ensure any resources your VMs use are accessible
|
|
by qemu:qemu.
