Virtualization

This page is not complete!

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.

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.

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.

Install the podman package using Bulge.
