#virt — Public Fediverse posts

Further to the #QEMU story, today I've been playing with the Virtual Machine Manager (#virt-manager) software to manage my VMs. I was surprised by the lack of any clear documentation, so I wrote down a how-to about setting up and configuring virt-manager on a Linux host.

I also added some notes on how to import an existing QEMU VM.

All available here:

I will probably add more over time; eventually this might end up as a blog post.

quicktipp #101: Proxmox PVE: Using `virt-customize` (from `libguestfs-tools`) to inject the qemu-guest-agent into the Ubuntu cloudimage.

Other than i.e. the Fedora cloudimage, the stock Ubuntu cloudimage comes without the qemu-guest-agent preinstalled. Here's an easy way to add it using the `virt-customize` tool.

Has anyone been able to get #Hyprland or #Niri / #NiriWM to work in an #AlpineLinux #virt-manager (#libvirt) #vm? Trying to launch Hyprland throws "failed to mkdir crash report directory".

Hmm. #Pi-Hole lieber im #lxc-Container oder via #virt-manager eine eigene VM dafür?

`virshle.config.toml`

-Aggregate host info based on a connection list?

-Yes!

Just posted an RFC patch series on a Rust device (ARM UART) for QEMU: roast me! (constructively)

So installing #virt-manager unlocks bridge mode in #Gnomeboxes on #Fedora . Nice

#Linux #virtualization

#boxes o #virt-manager? Depende, para máquinas creadas por el usuario, el gnome-boxes, para una virtualización más avanzada con #qemu y #kvm, Virt-Manager @fedora #linux @gnome

@thelinuxEXP I suggest #virt-manager to #gnome-boxes . Just my $0.02.

Ich ergänze dann mal hier und berichte von meinem Fehler. Eine Virtualisierungslösung läuft einfach viel schneller, wenn im BIOS die Virtualisierung (bei einer AMD-CPU lautet das SVM) eingeschaltet ist 😂

Jetzt ist der 🐧 im Manne wieder zufrieden.

@train Yep. Lxd vm's are hard work if you're not running Ubuntu server.

#Virt-manager for VM's. 👍😎

So I was thinking I was gonna run pure LXD to run #opnsense and #vyos! However, I'm having such a hard time with just installing anything with ISO let alone running a BSD instance on there. I think I need a hypervisor.

I really don't wanna run 2 different systems. so I want something that is not really that complex to keep going as I'm just going to use 2 vm's maybe 3 on this system.

Which one do you recommend. #proxmox #VMware #homelab #selfhosting #virt-manager #Xen-look-a- like

I did not know it was possible to just add #qemu command line parameters to a #virt-manager domain XML. Now that was really handy.

This enables networking for a #virtualized #Raspberry Pi Zero:

<qemu:commandline>
<qemu:arg value="-device"/>
<qemu:arg value="usb-net,netdev=net0"/>
<qemu:arg value="-netdev"/>
<qemu:arg value="user,id=net0,hostfwd=tcp::5555-:22"/>
</qemu:commandline>

(Yes, building the environment is a lot quicker on a powerful workstation doing #ARM emulation compared to on the Zero + SD card itself ... )

@vkc Thank you for the lovely explainer video on QEMU/KVM and Virtmanager on Youtube. Made using this so much simpler. Do not have to install virtual box again on the new machine and really so much faster. Thank you. 🙏

I just ditched #vmware for my #kali vm. I have to use a pretty recent kernel that supports my @frameworkcomputer and compiling the patched modules by mkubecek because vmware couldn’t be bothered was one thing, but copy & paste didn’t work under wayland no matter what I tried. Now that version 17 was released I asked myself if it was worth spending the money and decided to give #virt-manager a try. Making shared folders between host and guest working required some trial and error, but in the end turned out to work great, just like everything else. Feels more snappy, too. Next, I will try this with a #windows guest.

Je viens d'écrire un article concernant la relecture de #traductions
https://jibecfed.fedorapeople.org/blog-hugo/fr/2019/04/relire-des-traductions/

On y trouve des exemples de mises en cohérence, appliquées pour les logiciels #cockpit et #virt-manager ainsi que des références vers des guides de traduction complet :)

(oui, il doit y avoir un petit bug sur les fichiers statiques, je vais corriger ça ce soir)

#virt-manager is an easy way of accessing your #virtual machines.

Supporting #KVM, #Xen, and LXC, virt-manager allows for one to easily create and run many virtual machines at once.

virt-manager supports raw image, qcow, #qcow2, qed, #vmdk, vpc, and #vdi disk files.

virt-manager additionally allows for great tuning of a virtual machine's virtual hardware through an easy to use GUI.
