CryptGoat<p>For anyone still using or considering the free <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/oVirt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>oVirt</span></a> as virtualization management platform:⚠️ Please don't. It is a broken nightmare on community life support.⚠️</p><p>After <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/RedHat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RedHat</span></a> has ended support for its commercial spin Red Hat Virtualization (RHV) last year the development of oVirt practically came to a halt.</p><p>There hasn't been an official stable release for over a year despite security issues, and numerous bugs. The official recommendation is to use nightly releases to get the latest fixes. Too bad you won't be able to roll back via DNF if an update fails because older nightly releases are gone from the repo.</p><p>And yes, nightly releases do break oVirt at times. The latest nightly causes updates to fail because of incomplete dependency changes.</p><p>The web interface of the official mailing list is offline most of the time, the documentation is a confusing and outdated mess.</p><p>Upgrades to newer Linux distribution releases such as RHEL 9 or even 10 based systems are extremely painful and not officially supported.</p><p>Move your VMs to <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/ProxmoxVE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProxmoxVE</span></a> or any other actively maintained KVM based solution.</p><p><a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/Virtualization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Virtualization</span></a> <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/KVM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KVM</span></a> <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/Hypervisor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hypervisor</span></a> <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/Admin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Admin</span></a> <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/oVirtEngine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>oVirtEngine</span></a></p>
