Bringing machine 'default' up with 'libvirt' provider...
[fog][WARNING] Unrecognized arguments: libvirt_ip_command

default: Box Provider: libvirt

The box 'generic/freebsd15' could not be found or could not be accessed in the remote catalog.

Anyone knows if there are plans to provide more images for vagrant and FreeBSD 15 ?

GNOME Boxes: Schlanke Virtualisierung für den Linux-Desktop (und warum es für Admins trotzdem spannend ist)

Einleitung Virtualisierung unter Linux ist längst kein Nischenthema mehr – vom Heim-Server bis zur Enterprise-Umgebung gehören virtuelle Maschinen zum Alltag. Während Tools wie virt-manager, VirtualBox oder VMware Pro jede Menge Schalter und Hebel für Admins bieten, fühlt sich das für einfache Tests oft wie Overkill an. Genau hier setzt GNOME Boxes an: Eine minimalistische, aber ernstzunehmende Oberfläche für KVM/QEMU, die Virtualisierung auf dem Linux-Desktop radikal […]

Как я построил полностью изолированную пентест-лабораторию и почему ИИ нельзя доверять

Как я построил полностью изолированную пентест-лабораторию и почему ИИ нельзя доверять Уже месяц я изучаю создание пентест-инструментов (назовем это так, чтобы с модерацией проблем не было :-)) по книге "Black Hat Go", и до недавних пор я тестировал малварь на своём хосте, ибо в них нет ничего опасного, это простейшие утилиты по типу TCP-сканера. Значит, нужно построить свою виртуальную и изолированную лабу. В них должно быть минимум 3 машины: Windows 11 в роли жертвы, Ubuntu server lts в роли C2 сервака, и, конечно, классический Metasploitable2 опять же в роли жертвы. Читать, как я мучился последние 3 дня

Just learned that you can pass the pci bus address and slot parameters to the #network paramters of #virt-install and thus get stable enp network device names in the VM for use with e.g. #ubuntu #autoinstall.yaml files.

For example:
--network network="testnet",model=virtio,address.type=pci,address.bus=0x02,address.slot=0x00
will be enp2s0 in the VM.

Neat.

Die Engine unterstützt seit Version 29 ein experimentelles nftables-Backend. Ich habe die neuen Firewall-Funktionen unter Fedora 43 ausprobiert, und grundsätzlich scheint alles zu funktionieren:

Docker und können jetzt parallel zueinander ausgeführt werden, ohne sich zu behindern. Mein Firewall- und Netzwerkwissen reicht aber nicht für eine fundierte Beurteilung aus, wie sicher das resultierende Setup ist.

I also discovered that #debian do not build #libvirt #vagrant box anymore so there is no debian13 available :(
Of course I still can build one by hand, or use #packer or one of those two projects which wraps it: github.com/chef/bento or github.com/boxcutter/kvm (if I absolutely need to use vagrant)

Vous connaissez #ReactOS ?

C'est un système d'exploitation libre comme #linux #mac ou #windows qui vise a cloner le fonctionnement de windows

Quand nos programmes windows sont pas sur linux, on peut utiliser #Wine #Proton #crossover
Mais aussi utiliser windows en machine virtuelle... Ou avant, voir si #ReactOS supporte votre application 🤷‍♀️

Mais si #libvirt #qemu avait des drivers graphiques, compatibles, ca serait mieux 🤔

2025-11-14

V'la que #ReactOS supporte ENFIN les cartes graphiques 3dfx RT voodoo 5

C bien, il reste encore 25 ans de cartes graphiques a supporter 🤔

Nan sérieux, il a meme pas voulu de mes drivers #libvirt fournis pour windows, comment j'fais ?

Si je trouve qqun qui a déjà essaye c un miracle, si en plus il cause fr et voit mes messages ET veut bien répondre 🤨

Since the maintainer of the OpenTofu/Terraform provider for libvirt considers LLMs to be acceptable tools for coding/code review (actually for quite some time now), what alternatives are there to manage libvirt infrastructure in a likewise fashion?

Alternatives I'm aware of so far:
- github.com/AshleyYakeley/NixVi
- DIY with libvirt's Python bindings

Creating #debian system images on #libvirt manually is a bit long, it would certainly be useful to refresh my Packer skills and templates… but I keep thinking "I only need one image, it won't be long" and in fact it's not, until you need to apply a fix, and another, and another.

#sysadmin #packer #engineering #automation

Folks, this is getting serious. My first open source (MIT license) project and I have no idea what I'm doing 😨

It's called nvirt. The concept in a nutshell: it's similar to writing/using a dockerfile, but for libvirt VMs.

Docs if you're curious to read more: nvirt-cli.gitlab.io/

I've just tagged v0.1.0 for testing, feedback and a bit more "tidy up" dev, especially before I commit to backwards compatibility for the "virtfile" format, but for anyone who's interested I'd appreciate feedback, ideas and/or rebukes (if I have wasted my time or committed any cardinal sins given I'm new to Go and actually publishing stuff...)

Huge shout-out for the #libguestfs and #virtManager projects - pretty sure I wouldn't have attempted something like this if those tools didn't exist.

So … while this is obviously nice for virtualized gaming, what about video decode/encode acceleration?

Is there a way to give a #Linux guest access to the host #GPU's video codec acceleration without GPU passthrough?

Just like it's possible to pass /dev/dri into a container, can I do a similar thing with a #QEMU / #KVM virtual machine?

@incentive@mastodon.circlewithadot.net Hi & thanks. No i've not tried it, coz my assumption was simply that the Devs had setup Distrobox such that it would just run with the standard DB commands & procedures... that ofc does not mean i am correct, only that so far i'd not read anything about #KDELinux contrary to that supposition.

Btw, subsequent to that older post of mine, i have converted one of my physical pooters [Lappy] to
#Fedora #Kinoite, & in which i have since successfully setup #QEMU #KVM #libvirt VMs in a #Distrobox, by following https://distrobox.it/posts/run_libvirt_in_distrobox/
https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox/blob/main/docs/posts/run_libvirt_in_distrobox.md. So in replying to you now it just occurred to me to possibly also try that in my KDELinux VM, purely to explore if DB works that way?

Want to learn all about virtualization on Linux using Libvirt? Good, because Svenne will teach us next Saturday at 11:00 at Labitat, and you are most welcome to join us.

ooo neat, #libvirt and #qemu support the macOS Hypervisor.framework, i wonder if anyone has used it to run macOS guests on macOS hosts?

https://libvirt.org/macos.html
https://wiki.qemu.org/Features/HVF

everything i’ve found so far is about running linux on macOS (with hvf) or macOS on linux (with kvm)
