  • 0

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:

  1. Open Virtual Machine Manager on your local computer.

  2. Go to File > Add Connection.

  3. Check the box "Connect to remote host over SSH".

  4. Hostname: Enter your HOSTADDON server’s IP address.

  5. Username: Typically root (or your sudo user).

  6. 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-id to send your public key to the server first for a seamless connection.
