I've tried to install on an ec2 instance once for testing. Didn't work well. It's not meant to run there anyway.

@prehistoric-furniture-82015 Ohh so do I've to dedicate a complete unit to run it? Also the system requirements are quite high for general PCs.

yeah, i don't have any better way. We've tried on ec2 in two ways 1: generate an AMIs - that's a catch22 becuase you need to install it somewhere else to generate the ami 2: install it on vm inside a ec2 instance: installer gets stuck, probably due to some limits on virtualisation, or perhaps its just a bug in v1.1.2. you might want to try with v1.2.0.

ec2 is not the right place for it. Amazon networking will not let you assign ip's for VM's running inside harvester

equinix metal would be the place to run this or on a linux host using kvm with the example i have shared above

ec2 instances also dont allow nested virtualisation

@worried-gold-87886 note you can get away with slightly lower specs for testing but whilst you might be able to install Harvester you won't then be able to do too much with it

For testing I run Harvester 1.2.0 in a virtual machine in VMware workstation with “nested virtualization” and “uefi boot” enabled. You need at least 24GB of RAM available in your guest VM to run harvester smoothly. With this setup you can try out different aspects of harvester and run a couple of Ubuntu 22.04 vm’s and explore networking components.
