Is managing virtual machines through the cockpit-bundle on this distro possible?

[Taylantz]

Ive just done a fresh install of clear linux on my bare metal machine to test the distro. Ive also installed almost all virtuliziation packages with swupd e.g.

• kvm-host
• kvm-host-extras
• virt-viewer
• virt-manager
• cockpit
• sysadmin-basic
• sysadmin-remote

(I am missing the cockpit-machines bundle?)

and enabled the cockpit service like shown on their website: https://cockpit-project.org/running.html

sudo systemctl enable --now cockpit.socket

There seem to be some open issues regarding cockpit and virtual machines on this issue tracker. https://github.com/clearlinux/distribution/issues/2101 https://github.com/clearlinux/distribution/issues/2173

So my question would just be: Is it possible to install cockpit with support to create virtual machines on clear linux right now? Or am I just missing something?

@Taylantz there are some problems with managing VM's through cockpit on Clear Linux, and they aren't likely to be fixed. In fact I wouldn't advise using Clear Linux for anything other than CI workflows and cloud native workloads.

Any update on this? It's almost three years later and this is almost the only thing I can find about it
