Virtual Booth

This project addresses system administration and operational security challenges 
in legacy Linux environments, focusing primarily on CentOS 7 end-of-life (EOL) 
repository redirection, broken runtime libraries, and remote Kernel-based Virtual 
Machine and Quick Emulator (KVM/QEMU) hypervisor graphical execution via X11 
forwarding.  As open-source enterprise distributions reach their official retirement 
milestones, default package manager mirror lists become unresponsive, causing 
automated deployment pipelines and software installation routines to fail unexpectedly 
Standard mirror failures disrupt automated deployment pipelines in legacy system 
infrastructures. To solve this, an automated shell and Python orchestration toolkit was 
developed to seamlessly migrate package manager mirrors to the official vault 
archives, repair broken ELF utilities, and establish secure display forwarding via 
MobaXterm/VcXsrv routines. The development lifecycle incorporated shell scripting, 
Python execution modules, and remote hypervisor configuration using virt-manager 
and virt-install. Testing yieled a 100% success rate in repository mirror redirection 
and virtual machine provisioning across isolated network interfaces. The toolkit 
streamlines administrative workflows, eliminates manual library troubleshooting, and 
provides a stable operational foundation for legacy virtualized environments.
