Re: [ovirt-users] Deploying training lab
Hi, This sounds like something that might fit your needs: https://github.com/ThinStation/thinstation and the looks alive. I didn't try it myself though. If you're not satisfied with this or any other existing distro, you could either slim down an existing distro (e.g. creating your own lean Fedora spin) or build your own with minimum set of dependencies (e.g. Gentoo is quite friendly to this approach). Let us know what solution did you choose and how it went. ;) Cheers, David Jaša, Spice QE On Fri, 2017-07-28 at 21:19 +0200, Andy Michielsen wrote: > Hello all, > > Don't know if this is the right place to ask this but I would like to > set up a trainingslab with oVirt. > > I have deployed an engine and a host with local storage and want to > run 1 server and 5 desktops off it. > > But the desktops will be used on thin clients or old laptops with > some minimal os installation running spice client or a webbrowser. > > I was wondering if anyone can give me pointer in how to set up a > minimal laptop which only need to run an spice client. > > Kind regards. > ___ > Users mailing list > Users@ovirt.org > http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
Re: [ovirt-users] Deploying training lab
If you are referring to a plain OS to run the laptops from on, I'm not aware of any specific OS. maybe DSL (http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/)?

Re: [ovirt-users] Deploying training lab
Hi Maor, Thanks for pitching in. I have to admit it isn't really an oVirt issue but more on how to allow users working with it. I do use the pool methode to provide the virtual servers and dektops. For developers and support services I just let them use rdp for windows or even virt-viewer but for giving demo's or education I would like to provide something like thinclients or boot from usb linux solution who just start with firefox or virt-viewer. All idea's and suggestions are welcome.

Re: [ovirt-users] Deploying training lab
Hi Andy, Can you please elaborate more regarding the requirements and what you are trying to achieve. Have you tried to use vm-pool? Those VMs should be configured as stateless and acquire minimal storage capacity.

[ovirt-users] Deploying training lab
Hello all, Don't know if this is the right place to ask this but I would like to set up a trainingslab with oVirt. I have deployed an engine and a host with local storage and want to run 1 server and 5 desktops off it. But the desktops will be used on thin clients or old laptops with some minimal os installation running spice client or a webbrowser. I was wondering if anyone can give me pointer in how to set up a minimal laptop which only need to run an spice client.
