Virt-Manager on multiple pc's

Do you have https://virt-manager.org/ on multiple pc's?
How did you "export" the configs?
How do you keep them in sync?I've got it on 3 (2 Ubuntu systems and 1 Windows system)... The configuration is stored on the KVM host you are connecting to. I've not had to export anything or keep any of my 3 systems in sync. Just tell it which KVM server to connect to, and off we go.

That means having to re-enter those connections every time you have a new device?
If you only have a few hosts, no big deal.
If you have like 50, that's a real PITA -

I read somewhere that you can copy the config in the dconf, I have not tried this!
-
Copying the contents in "Custom value" & pasting them in a new install works.
I still need to do some further testing.

Hmm interesting work with 50 VMs on it, good job. Whats the specs of the hypervisor ?
try looking here
/etc/dconf/db/database.d/
https://developer.gnome.org/dconf/unstable/dconf-overview.html -
sudo apt install dconf-cli dconf dump /org/virt-manager/the above for all virt manager settings, if you just want connections
dconf dump /org/virt-manager/virt-manager/connections/I cant believe linux has registry like shit to hide your settings in it.
to summarize:dconf dump /org/virt-manager/virt-manager/connections/ > backup.txt dconf load /org/virt-manager/virt-manager/connections/ < backup.txt -

Not 50 vm's, 50 hosts.

You have 50 virtualization platforms?

No, it was just an example to illustrate what a PITA it would be to enter xx number of connections everytime you have a new instance ot virt-manager.

I’m not seeing the issue here. Where would you be that would have that kind of infrastructure and no automation for SSH key authentication?

I think he's saying that if he had to replace his laptop he'd have to manually add those 50 connections back into Virt-Manager.

Anyone can make up stupid scenarios to make any solution look bad.

I have a desktop & 2 laptops, what's so stupid about that?

Anyone check the man page for virt-manager?
Make a creative script to automatically add all your kvm servers.
And its even easier when using SSH keys.virt-manager -c qemu+ssh://user@ip-address/system -

50 KVM hosts with no centralized management already planned

I think it is valid question, maybe 50 is too much but the idea is to backup the connection list, so you can quickly set it up if your virt manager software got corrupted and you dont want it to be VM.
Okay no one has 50 hosts, but maybe 10 or more or so. who cares it, I label it valid .Court Adjourned
