The app refuses to run

[techana]

I'm running ClearOS Community 7.4 server. I've already installed KVM as per: https://www.clearos.com/resources/documentation/clearos/content:en_us:kb_7_install_virtualization_using_kvm

Then, I installed the app-kimchi ver. 1.1.8-1 as described here: http://wikisuite.org/How-to-install-Kimchi-on-ClearOS

The app refuses to run from the ClearOS webconfig (Status Stopped). The messages log doesn't give much in order to identify the problem.

I reinstalled the whole ClearOS system then installed app-kimchi. The app's status in webconfig is now running, but when accessing its control panel I only see "Wok" (red theme) and no "Virtualization" tab. I'm sure my system supports KVM (because I can install and run virtual machines from CLI).

Here is /var/log/wok/wok-error.log when the app is started: ` Ginger Base: Running capabilities tests System Report Tool ...: True Loading YumUpdate features. System Update Tool ...: True Repo Management Tool .: yum Ginger Base: Capabilities tests completed

Ok, I was able to solve this issue by solving the conflict between ClearOS' dnsmasq and Libvirtd's dnsmasq as explained here: https://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Libvirtd_and_dnsmasq. "Virtualization" tab appears in Kimchi control panel. But I'm not sure how this solution will affect ClearOS. I think it will prevent me from adding more NICs in the future!

I also had to change the Libvirtd default storage pool name to "images" in /etc/kimchi/template.conf.

@techana Thank you for reporting this.

Please do add feature requests with an explanation of the desired use case. We want to make it easy to set up without any manual configs. We can add options / setting in the app.

You can add here in the Kimchi category: http://wikisuite.org/To-do

And it will appear here: http://wikisuite.org/Kimchi-and-KVM-development

Done. See here please: http://wikisuite.org/item259?from=To+do
