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

Please use this PPA if you would like to run Ganeti on Ubuntu.

For Redhat/CentOS based systems, please head over to this repository.

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

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.

Ganeti is being used in virtualisation setups all over the world. If you want to reach or join our community, you can use one of the following options.

There are two mailing lists available: ganeti-users and ganeti-devel.
