vagrant-libvirt: update installation instructions #454
Conversation
Following the tutorial on Vagrant libvirt, I wasn't able to run it. I found this thread on ask fedora: https://ask.fedoraproject.org/t/vagrant-up-not-working-what-did-i-forget/20094/10 It suggested to enable virtnetworkd and install the virtualization group. It might be beneficial to have it in the developer portal directly to avoid future confusion.

Hi, thanks for the patch. This seems to be required because Fedora changed the layout of libvirt services: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/LibvirtModularDaemons .
Since it seems that enabling virtnetworkd is indeed required, let's update also the previous step for the modular libvirt services present with F35+.
Additionally, I do not think we need the virtualization group explicitly, installing just vagrant-libvirt (or vagrant-libvirt with @vagrant) brings in all that is needed. I have tested this in a fresh VM. If that approach does not work, then there is a bug with the requirements of @vagrant IMO

I do not think this is needed. vagrant-libvirt should pull in all that is required.

From how packaged libvirt daemons are right now in Fedora, the maintainer insists reboot is needed for everything to work properly.
@msehnout can you verify the proposed changes please? |

I'm sorry, I forgot about this PR. Can we close it now that you are incorporating it into your own MR? |
