In case anyone else ever has some fun with #docker and #libvirt / #kvm on #Linux :linux:

By default the FORWARD table drops all packages...
To get vm's back on the net simply leverage #iptables to make the packets flow again:

$ sudo iptables -A FORWARD -i br0 -o br0 -j ACCEPT

You can install iptables-persistent to save the current ruleset so it is applied every time you restart the system. 😉

Did that on my #Debian workstation... I always fall for it. 😂

Cannot seem to mount linux host share on Windows guest. #Boxes suggests that I need on the guest to have spice-webdav installed. Have not been able to figure that out.

In the meantime, the web suggests that I need Virtual Machine Manager installed, but when I do that, it says I need libvirtd, and every set of instructions for #libvirt has not worked. apt cannot find it. 😡 Even instructions from Sept 2023 for Ubuntu 22.04 don’t work.

How to install #fedora #silverblue VM on #macOS using #libvirt and #QEMU and the #HVF (hypervisor framework):

virt-install --name silverblue \  
--boot uefi \  
--os-variant silverblue37 \  
--memory 8192 \  
--disk size=20 \  
--graphics vnc \  
--virt-type hvf \  
--cpu host,match=exact,mode=custom \  
--xml ./cpu/model=host \  
--xml xpath.delete=./devices/channel \  
--cdrom path/to/silverblue.iso  

Then connect to localhost using your preferred VNC viewer. Weirdly though, I cannot enter anything in the post-installer name selection, not even using the on-screen keyboard, except for emojis...

Finally started doing some bullseye to bookworm upgrades, first glitch is php-geoip's having disappeared (removed because of missing support for PHP 8). Will need to investigate what to do for #matomo…

Decisions that didn't age well (oVirt dropping Fedora support to focus specifically on RHEL). Red Hat dropped general commercial support for oVirt (RHV) last year and has removed SPICE from #RHEL. #ovirt #Fedora #virtualization #libvirt #Linux

Other random #libvirt question. Aside from $$$$$$ RHEL tooling for things like OpenShift (and its add-ons), is there a good app/util for backing up KVM VMs? or is rsync'ing the QCOW files to a backup destination as good as it gets? @vwbusguy @major (et. al.)
