We're a 100% Debian/Ubuntu shop and I've been tasked in trying out oVirt. There are no official packages for Debian and I really wanted to avoid installing RH or CentOS, so I tried building oVirt from scratch, following the documentation. It... didn't go well. Bunch of undocumented errors when running Maven tests and compiling, it was horrible. gently caress Java EE.

I think I'll go with Xen or OpenVZ. We already use OpenStack but were not really satisfied and ran into strange problems (like sudden permissions errors when trying to access disk images - tracking that down amongst the logs of all the separate modules was a pain in the rear end).

This isn't a Java problem. It's a Debian problem. But oVirt is KVM, and "Xen" is not an alternative to oVirt unless you mean Xen ButtPlatform or XenServer, which are comparable to what oVirt actually does. OpenVZ is also not an alternative unless you intent to put HyperVM or whatever openvz frontend isn't dead on top of it.

A community member put together Debian build instructions, but I've never tried them and can't vouch for them at all.

Yeah I know Xen/OpenVZ are not the same. I'm not setting this up so we can have an interface to spawn and destroy instances on the go. We kinda wanted the whole cluster setup but meh, we'll see.

Also, the Debian build instructions are useless, outdated and don't help.
