    KVM on Server

    I would like to install virtual machines on my server, and am looking at this tutorial: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-creat...hines-from-cli. Is virt-viewer required? If not, how would I set the IP? I'd like to avoid a GUI, if possible.

    No. You don't need to use virt-viewer. You can connect to the console using virsh.

    Are you aware that virt-manager works from remote systems over an ssh tunnel to the KVM host? No GUI code needed on the KVM host, but your desktop/client machine can use the virt-manager tool to access the console for each VM.

    Or you can ssh into the VM host and use virsh, if you like. I use it for tweaking some settings to which virt-manager doesn't provide access.

    If I installed/created more than 1 VM a month, I'd want to automate it too.
