Do you want this on CentOS 8, Ubuntu 20.04, or something else? The help we
can give you will vary quite considerably depending on the distro you use;
and, as you point out, RedHat-derived and Debian-derived distributions are
very different.
For CentOS, do you have the advanced virtualization repo enabled?
