1. To manage your Budget VPS Hostaddon server, you need the GUI tool virt-manager installed on your local workstation.
Download : https://virt-manager.org/
-
Ubuntu / Debian / Mint:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install virt-manager ssh-askpass-gnome -
CentOS / Fedora / RHEL:
sudo dnf install virt-manager -
Arch Linux:
sudo pacman -S virt-manager
2. Server-Side Requirements
Your Hostaddon server must have libvirt and qemu-kvm installed and running. If it isn't set up yet, run these on the server:
sudo apt install qemu-kvm libvirt-daemon-system libvirt-clients bridge-utils
sudo systemctl enable --now libvirtd
# Add your user to the libvirt group to avoid root prompts
sudo usermod -aG libvirt $USER
3. Connecting to the Remote Server
Once the software is installed on both sides:
-
Open Virtual Machine Manager on your local computer.
-
Go to File > Add Connection.
-
Check the box "Connect to remote host over SSH".
-
Hostname: Enter your HOSTADDON server’s IP address.
-
Username: Typically
root(or your sudo user). -
Click Connect.
[!TIP] If you haven't set up SSH Key authentication, you will be prompted for your password multiple times. It is highly recommended to use
ssh-copy-idto send your public key to the server first for a seamless connection.
