Virtualization

Currently yiffOS offers multiple methods of virtualization officially, KVM (libvirt) and LXC are packaged for system virtualization, and Podman is packaged for application virtualization.

Unofficially, both VMWare Player/Workstation and VirtualBox have been tested and do work.

libvirt

Install the libvirt package using Bulge.

Either reboot or run systemd-sysusers & systemd-tmpfiles –create after installation to create the necessary users and directories.

If you'd like a graphical UI you can either use the virt-manager package or cockpit-machines for a web based UI.

LXC

Incus (LinuxContainers's replacement for LXD after Canonical's hostile removal of LXD from the LinuxContainers group) is currently not packaged (but will be at a later date), as a result, the only option is to use the LXC driver for libvirt.

Install the lxc package using Bulge.

Podman

Install the podman package using Bulge.
