Learn To Install Virtualizor on the AlmaLinux server with the KVM kernel

To install the control panel on a server, you should do some pre-requirements on your server. you should prepare an Almalinux server. Use our articles Introducing AlmaLinux As a Replacement for CentOS and Initial Server Setup with AlmaLinux.

Step 1 – Update the AlmaLinux Server

First, you should update the server to avoid any risk. Use the below command to update the server:

# dnf clean all -y
# dnf update -y

Step 2 – Install Virtualizor main panel

To install Virtualizor on the AlmaLinux server, you should run the below commands.

Please note that if you have more servers, you should install a server as master and other ones should be configured as slave.

We assume you have one server and you want to install Virtualizor on this server.

# wget -N http://files.virtualizor.com/install.sh
# chmod 0755 install.sh
# ./install.sh email=youremail@domain.com kernel=kvm

Step 3 – Adding Virtualizor ports to Firewalld

Virtualizor like any panel has its own ports to work and loads the panel. You should know the ports and add them to the server firewall.

Virtualizor uses ports from 4081 to 4085. Then, we should add the numbers to our firewall using the below command:

firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-port=4081-4085/tcp

Step 4 – Restart Firewalld to Apply Changes

After adding ports to the firewall, we should restart the firewall to apply the changes and open them to access from outside of the server with the below command:

systemctl restart firewalld

Step 5 – How to Access the Virtualizor Panel?

After adding the ports to the server firewall, you can open the Virtualizor web panel via port 4085 on AlmaLinux.

To access the panel, enter the IP server via port 4085 in your browser.

yourserverIP:4085

For example:

192.168.1.10:4085

Use server root login credentials to log in and access the panel like in the below picture.

After that, you will see the virtualizor panel like the below picture.
