Spin ManageIQ/CFME Appliance locally with Virtualization.

Under progress...

Prerequisite:

1. Virtualization:

   • Fedora

     sudo dnf install @virtualization
     systemctl start libvirtd
     systemctl enable libvirtd
     

     If you want optional packages

     dnf group install --with-optional virtualization
     

   • Ubuntu

     sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm
     

2. Devel Packages:

   sudo dnf install libvirt-devel python-devel python3-devel
   

Install:

• pip

  pip install miqbox --user
  

• source

  python setup.py install --user
  

Note: For Development install in editable mode.

Troubleshooting:

• libvirt: Polkit error
• To prevent libvirt from asking root password:
  • Add libvirt group (It may be present by default)

    sudo groupadd libvirt
    

  • Add not root user as member

    sudo usermod -a -G libvirt <username>
    

  • Add Polkit rule for libvirt:

    vim /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/80-libvirt.rules
    

    polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
    if (action.id == "org.libvirt.unix.manage"
        && subject.local
        && subject.active
        && subject.isInGroup("libvirt")) {
    return polkit.Result.YES;
    }
    });
