How am I able to setup a new #qemu Win10-VM in #NixOS?
aqemu which I was using for years is broken in NixOS since at least one major release. It doesn't even install when I allow broken packages for a nix-shell.
qt5-virt-manager doesn't seem to have a VM setup wizard.
#qtemu is not able to find the installed qemu-img to create a new virtual disk ("Ensure that you have installed qemu-img in your system and it's available").
"'"A vDPA device is a type of device that follows the virtio specification for its datapath but has a vendor-specific control path.
vDPA devices can be both physically located on the hardware or emulated by software.

Below are several examples on how to use VDUSE and the QEMU Storage Daemon with VMs (QEMU) or Containers (podman). These steps are easily adaptable […]

So, @darth got me thinking... I have an old Phenom II X4 965 Black lying around. And I do have an old AM3 socket mobo, I also have an old case that is missing some screws. I might dig through my junk pile and build something. Use what I already have and only buy the parts I absolutely need.
I'm imagining maybe a #Slackware#linux server that is basically a hypervisor using #KVM and #Qemu that will run #BSD, #Arch, #RockyLinux, etc. basically all the POISX OSs I want to play around with.
podman run --platform=linux/riscv64 -it docker.io/riscv64/ubuntu bash

Note the weird combo of Fedora Rawhide kerneland riscv64 emulated by qemu 🤨
Setting up the company provided Macbook pro M2 with @AsahiLinux for Linux engineering/support/development.
The M2 is aarch64, deployment of a virtualized aarch64 Linux guest takes 160 seconds.
Thanks to #qemu, also emulation of x86 is possible! Deployment of a x86 Linux guest takes 900seconds, quite reasonable considering all is emulated.
My weekend project complete. Emulated #PowerPC Macintosh G4 running MacOS 9.2.1 (via #QEMU) with 1GB memory at 900MHz on Apple M1 silicon MacBook Pro running #MacOS 14.2.1, with functioning networking and printing to my networked Brother laser printer. #retrocomputing#vintagecomputing
One of our major contributors to #HaikuOS released a slightly older #RiscV Haiku version that can be checked in either #QEMU, #RVVM or #TinyEMU, created a local package for RVVM to test out these images and I can launch them (checked with QEMU and RVVM).
does anyone know of a stupid simple proxmox UI/API App or some other Hypervisor that i could give people access to self clone a BASE VM image and run it.
These are non-technical people that i want to basically give a Start/Stop/Revert option to, without to much more. and without having to spend hours teaching each person.
The #qemu 8.2 release has been tagged.
