Ideally I would like to decomission the current wiki.libvirt.org site. It is based on mediawiki running on openshift and has myself as a single point of failure. GitLab provides a wiki, but I don't think we need to use that either, as I think that it is desirable to bring the content into our main website. By putting an "edit this page" link on each page of our website, users can quickly see what source to change. There is still the burden of submitting a merge request & having review feedback, but I think we could mitigate this by having the reviewer actually make the changes they want directly, avoiding the tedious back & forth updates in easy cases. GitLab allows this if the person opening the merge request selects the option to allow maintainers to edit code. In any case, to remove wiki.libvirt.org we need to do something with its current content. The majority of content was first created 5-10 years ago, only a handful of pages get frequent edits right now: https://wiki.libvirt.org/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&limit=500&days=90 Looking at the pages I see some key groups, so I'll talk about them separately... A set of "Troubleshooting" guides supposedly describing common problems and their suggested solution. Some of these still apply but others will be outdated, so we need to decide which to keep. Yes we really do have multiple spellings of the same page in many cases After import a guest from an existing disk image using virt-install, the guest starting stalls with "No boot device" Common XML errors Could not add rule to fixup DHCP response checksums on network 'default' Creating VMWare ESXi domain failed with error "this function is not supported by the connection driver: virDomainCreateXML" Determining version information Determining version information, dealing with "unknown procedure" Different Processor Model Determined Different processor model determined Domain cannot be installed Domain starting fails with Error "monitor socket did not show up" Error "internal error cannot find character device" when trying to connect a domain's console Failed to connect to the hypervisor Guest can reach host, but can't reach outside network Guest can reach outside network, but can't reach host (macvtap) Guest won't start - warning: could not open /dev/net/tun ('generic ethernet' interface) I created an external snapshot, but libvirt will not let me delete or revert to it I created an external snapshot, but libvirt won't let me delete or revert to it Libvirt daemon is not listening on tcp ports although configured to Libvirt identifies host processor as a different model from the hardware documentation Migration fails because disk image cannot be found Migration fails with "Unable to resolve address" error No guest machines are present PXE boot (or dhcp) on guest failed The daemon cannot be started The domain cannot be started when specifying different processor TroubleshootMacvtapHostFail Troubleshooting Unable to add bridge br0 port vnet0: No such device Unable to connect to console of a running domain Virtual network "default" has not been started Virtual network 'default' has not been started Some illustrated guides to TLS cert creation. We already have a page https://libvirt.org/tlscerts.html and the wiki duplicates much of the info there. One difference is that the wiki also describes the gtk-vnc/spice-gtk/qemu cert setup, not merely libvirt. We should really consolidate into our main website though, as its confusing to have two separate docs for the same tasks TLSCreateCACert TLSCreateCACertSteps TLSCreateClientCerts TLSCreateServerCerts TLSDaemonConfiguration TLSFurtherReferences TLSSetup HostCommTLSSetup VNCTLSSetup Various GSoC pages, the per-year pages, and for 2016 only some reports from the contributors. Most of the latter is outdated info that's no longer really relevant, so I'd probablyjust delete the last 4 pages, and move the rest to the main site.

These never belonged here, and should be part of virt-manager website if they're really still desired. The screenshots are from an ancient version though, so I figure we can just delete them. TaskIsolatedNetworkSetupVirtManager TaskNATSetupVirtManager TaskRoutedNetworkSetupVirtManager CreatingNewVM in VirtualMachineManager DeletingVirtualMachine in VirtualMachineManager VirtualNetworking SSHSetup Some old pages containing a "todo" list, which we stopped updating a long time ago. Many of the ideas are not things we'd want to implement today so serve to mislead people. Propose to delete them all Todo TodoAMQPAgent TodoAsynchronousJobs TodoAvahiTXTSupport TodoConcurrentConnectionPtr TodoDaemonMultithreading TodoDaemonRestart TodoDriverKVM TodoEvents TodoFineGrainedSecurity TodoHostDevicePassthru TodoHostDevices TodoModules TodoNICBonding TodoNICMultipath TodoNetworkTopologyDiscovery TodoPackages TodoPoolBasedConfigs TodoPreMigrationChecks TodoSecureMigration TodoStorageSCSI TodoVMSnapshots TodoVirtViewerSecurity TodoWindowsSupport Stuff related to Cimtest, largely pages containing results form test runs from ancient distros. I propose to delete all of this as its irrelevant even if someone was still interested in cimtest today.
