Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/retspen/webvirtcloud/issues/240

I have just installed it and have not changed anything. I added a compute node and then got this error. I added myself to the libvirt group and virt-manager works just fine. Only Webvirtcloud has this issue. Help?

where did you install webvirtcloud?
on kvm host or a vm instance?
which protocol did you use while adding host(ssh, tcp, ...)

After fresh install on ubuntu 18.04 I've got the same issue after adding compute machine by selecting local option. What should I do? Compute status says: Connected. But I cannot create Instance on it.

Have you run that script on the host?
wget -O - https://clck.ru/9V9fH | sudo sh
Before you run that script you can look what is it. What configs have it.

What is the error while creating instance?

Yes I've run the script. But I guess I mixed up users. I initially started process as sudo user and then run that script as root user. I guess this fucked up my installation. Recreating fresh VPS again.

I recommend you that isolate webvirtcloud from hypervisor host.
How;

  1. If you want to manage more than one host, you can create a vm and install webvirtcloud on it.
  2. If you do not want to reserve a vm for webvirtcloud. You could use containers. Docker installation is simple as dead.
    So that your users and other Configurations do not mixed up.

I see thank you very much for your suggestion. Right now this is my first try of webvirtcloud. So I'm just testing things out. Once I get familiar with the project concepts I'll create dedicated host for webvirtcloud :)

Also I'll try to enhance docs here and there If I see something broken.

Okay, just finished installing. I'm still seeing this error. Here is my whole installation steps.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install git virtualenv python-virtualenv python-dev python-lxml libvirt-dev zlib1g-dev libxslt1-dev nginx supervisor libsasl2-modules gcc pkg-config python-guestfs
git clone https://github.com/retspen/webvirtcloud
cd webvirtcloud
cp webvirtcloud/settings.py.template webvirtcloud/settings.py
python # Generating secret key in python shell
vim webvirtcloud/settings.py # putting the key here
sudo cp conf/supervisor/webvirtcloud.conf /etc/supervisor/conf.d
sudo cp conf/nginx/webvirtcloud.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d
cd ..
sudo mv webvirtcloud /srv
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /srv/webvirtcloud
cd /srv/webvirtcloud
virtualenv venv # This line gave error, because folder was owned by www-data:www-data now
sudo chown -R me:me venv # So I had to change back permission to my current user
pip install -r conf/requirements.txt
python manage.py migrate
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /srv/webvirtcloud # fixing permissions back after installing things
sudo rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
sudo service nginx restart
sudo service supervisor restart
wget -O - https://clck.ru/9V9fH | sudo sh

Now I'm here.

I guess I followed everything correctly, are you seeing anything abnormal here?

Virt-manager does not need. But to check somethings, it is useful.
Please run on the host:
virsh list

As you see it is related with users and permissions.

It is indeed. Okay I've fixed it. I've added myself to libvirt group. Now virsh list command works fine for my user. But on the web I'm still seeing the error?
I've tried to restart all supervisor processes, rebooted server no help. What should I do now? Should I add www-data user into libvirt group too? @catborise

Edit: adding www-data user to libvirt group helped? After reboot now I got rid of error.

Libvirt-sock problem Seems to solved.
Latest one is not related with that problem.
—-
You should create a storage pool on the host.
Go to computes.
Storages, create a pool which will contain disk images.

Just double checked it by removing www-data user from libvirt group again. Error was caused by this indeed. I'll make PR changes to document these things.

Oh thank you! I didn't know I actually had to click on the compute name. Now I'm seeing whole lot of menus out there! Thank you very much.
