====== Virtualization ======

Currently yiffOS offers multiple methods of virtualization officially, [[https://www.libvirt.org/index.html|KVM (libvirt)]] and [[https://linuxcontainers.org/|LXC]] are packaged for system virtualization, and [[https://podman.io/|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.

<bootnote warning>
Either reboot or run ''systemd-sysusers'' & ''systemd-tmpfiles --create'' after installation to create the necessary users and directories.
</bootnote>

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

===== LXC =====
<bootnote>
[[https://linuxcontainers.org/incus/|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 [[https://libvirt.org/drvlxc.html|LXC driver for libvirt]].
</bootnote>

Install the ''lxc'' package using Bulge.

===== Podman =====

Install the ''podman'' package using Bulge.
