Ganeti 3.0

Welcome to the Ganeti Project

Ganeti is a virtual machine cluster management tool built on top of existing virtualisation technologies such as Xen or KVM and other open source software.

Our Vision

  • a virtualisation solution that Just Works
  • self-contained
  • aim for high-availibility and reliability
  • mid-range virtualisation solution (3 to 100 nodes)
  • purely open source
  • low complexity
  • available in major Linux distributions

Getting Started

Debian provides packages out of the box. More recent packages can usually be found through Debian Backports.

Other Distributions / Source builds

You can also build Ganeti directly from source - please read these instructions carefully.

Nightly/Developer builds

We provide nightly packages for Debian and Ubuntu off the project's master branch via this repository. These packages are only for testing purposes, do not use them in production! There is no upgrade path between nightly builds!

Further information about dependencies and cluster initialisation can be found in this Guide.
