| ======Router VM====== | ======Router VM====== |
| I have just decided to play with installing VM (virtual machines) on my Router hardware (2023-01). I have been reluctant to do this for a number of reasons. My separate listing for [[linux_router:hardware]]. Basically the machine is a bit old slow and under powered. Still basically adequate for what it does. I do not run a desktop on this machine, CLI (Command Line Interface only). The main services I am currently running on this machine are, all bare metal: | I have just decided to play with installing VM (virtual machines) on my Router hardware (2023-01).

| =====VM Setup===== | =====VM Setup===== |
| I decided to try QEMU/KVM setup as follows: | I decided to try QEMU/KVM setup as follows: |
| *''sudo apt install qemu qemu-system-x86 qemu-system qemu-utils libvirt-clients libvirt-daemon-system virtinst'' (qemu-kvm is now call / replaced by qemu-system-x86 in Debian 11, presumably only for x86 systems) | *''%%sudo apt install qemu-system qemu-system-x86 qemu-utils libvirt-clients libvirt-daemon libvirt-daemon-system virtinst --no-install-recommends%%'' |
| *''sudo apt install libvirt-daemon'' | |
| *''sudo apt install qemu-system '' | |
| I did not install libguestfs-tools, as I did not think I would need it | |
| *''sudo apt install libvirt-bin'' | |

| | ====package descriptions==== |
| | In most cases details these packages can be seen at [[https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages|Debian Packages]]. |
| | ++++tldr;| |
| | *''qemu'' - [[https://wiki.qemu.org/Main_Page|QEMU]] is a generic and open source machine emulator and virtualiser, and is now a dummy package, it no longer works on Debian 12. |
| | *<fs small>''qemu-kvm'' - was made a wrapper script to qemu-system and is now redundant</fs> |
| | *''qemu-system'' is a meta package that call the correct system pack, e.g. qemu-system-x86 (qemu-kvm is now call / replaced by qemu-system-x86 in Debian 11) |
| | *''qemu-system-x86'' is the actual system peripheral emulator and virtualiser for x86 systems |
| | *''qemu-utils'' provides utilities for QEMU disk activities |
| | *''libvirt-daemon'' - daemon libvirtd to manage the hypervisors |
| | *''libvirt-daemon-system'' - configuration files to run the libvirt daemon as a system service |
| | *''libvirt-clients'' - contains the libvirt shell virsh and other client binaries |
| | *''virtinst'' - utilities to create and edit virtual machines |
| | *''libspice-server1'' - Implements the server side of the SPICE protocol |
| | *''virt-viewer'' - The console is accessed using the VNC or SPICE protocol. (Client software) |
| | *''virt-manager'' - desktop application for managing virtual machines. (Client software) |
| | *''libspice-client-gtk-3.0-5'' - libspice-gtk3 provides gtk3 widget to show spice display and accept user input. (Client software) |

| ====Virt-manager client setup==== | |
| | ====Virt-manager remote client setup==== |
| *''%%sudo apt install virt-manager ssh-askpass-gnome --no-install-recommends%%'' | *''%%sudo apt install virt-manager ssh-askpass-gnome --no-install-recommends%%'' |
| *''%%virt-manager -c 'qemu+ssh://baumkp@router.local.kptree.net/system?keyfile=id_rsa'%%'' | *''%%virt-manager -c 'qemu+ssh://baumkp@router.local.kptree.net/system?keyfile=id_rsa'%%'' |
| *;;sudo apt install gir1.2-spiceclientgtk-3.0'' | *''sudo apt install gir1.2-spiceclientgtk-3.0'' |
