[Request] Static linked binary to run on CentOS/RHEL

[aravindhsampath]

Virtlyst is exactly what I needed to manage a handful of KVM VMs on a CentOS 7 host I administer.

However, I could not figure out how to get Cutelyst and then Virtlyst installed on a CentOS 7 box. I give up now because of lack of time to spend on figuring out all the dependencies and getting it to work.

But, Just wanted to write a note that, it would be incredibly helpful for this project to be available in a "easy to install" way that is not Docker(I'm not in favour of running a daemon as root just to get some other tools from Internet).

Sorry if it sounds entitled. I honestly just wanted to state an end-user's view. Feel free to ignore this note and close the issue if you think it is not in the interest of your project.

Cheers on this project. It looks great and focused on doing one thing well. Maybe someday I will get to try it out.

An "easy to install" would likely having it packaged for your distro or a flatpack package, however I don't have the time to create those.

It's rather easy to build and run this, and if you have an issue we can try to assist you, I have Virtlyst running on CentOS 7 and Ubuntu servers, CentOS is more complex to have it ready due it's file system having /usr/lib64 and the fact that it has a bunch of old package. You can also install Cutelyst from an OBS.
