I've gotten so used to running my everyday Unix system as a VM on top of various host systems that I notice myself hesitating to install it on bare metal. It feels unsafe. With a VM, I can back up the disk image(es) in various ways (wholesale or incremental snapshots), move it to new hardware, transfer it to a completely different environment and have it up and running in no time. On a bare metal machine, I feel "stuck". Does that make sense to anyone out there? #virtualmachine #vm #kvm #unix

If I have multiple laptops on a #kvm is it possible to have them all share a usb external drive? Like is there some sort of usb drive controller that would plug into 2 computers at once? Obviously I don’t want to plug the drive into the KVM because then every time i switch computers the drive will disconnect. Also I want this drive for my 2 personal computers and not my work computer.

I normally take a lot of care to make sure that I do this right. Today I got the confirmation from the NLKUG (dutch kotlin user group) that I can post my own presentation on my channel. #kotlin #jvm #kvm #java This is the live video version premiering shortly: https://youtu.be/MbN_wys2lOQ

Well well well, I can't believe it's finally here, but,
it will need to wait until the weekend.

Okay, that was it, I guess.
My #KVM switch's USB output port 1 died.
My wife's failed in a similar fashion last year.

Any recommendations? I don't need anything fancy: 2 or possibly 3 computers, 1 monitor, at least one of the inputs has to be HDMI, the other could be HDMI or DP.

No April Fools' joke - the new #ProxLB release is scheduled for the 1st of April! Stay tuned!

ProxLB is an advanced #loadbalancer for #Proxmox clusters that brings in features like #DRS (known from #VMware), #maintenance mode and (anti-)#affinity groups.

So after wanting affordable remote kvm for my diy micro servers for a long time, I went down the #nanokvm and #jetkvm rabbit hole. Nanokvm still seems to be a big red flag, which could change if they fix the software (and attitude wrt firmware engineering).
So I just ordered a JetKVM from kickstarter, more later when I like this one. It’s supposed to be better than any enterprise kvm, people are praising the usability everywhere. Can’t wait to receive mine. #kvm #homelab

Linux und eine WindowsVM teilen sich ein Laufwerk

VirtioFS ist eine Technologie, die es ermöglicht, Dateisysteme zwischen dem Host-Betriebssystem und Gast-Betriebssystemen in einer virtuellen Umgebung effizient zu teilen. Es bietet eine hohe Leistung und niedrige Latenzzeiten, da es speziell für den Einsatz in Virtualisierungsumgebungen optimiert ist.

The JetKVM

I have now officially reached the point where I have more KVM devices than I actually need (at least for now), and I think this one will be the last for a while–so this is my attem(...)

Wow, just wow.

I needed this command to connect to a (windows) virtual machine remotely via ssh. This is what worked:

virt-viewer --connect qemu+ssh://elgar.local/system win10

Running virt-viewer --help does not even hint that this is possible.

I tracked down proper documentation, but, wow, discoverability of this is 'sub-optimal': https://libvirt.org/uri.html

What's a good value for Huge Pages in Linux? I just want to enable them for a QEMU virtual machine.

Directions appreciated.

A real estate or housing complex without authoritative stations is pointless spread-corruption exercise. #kvm #docker

On modern #Linux, a virtual machine using #KVM is more or less just another running process. Which allows you to treat a VM more or less as a container. Which is why we at Red Hat offer Openshift Virtualisation, that puts all of that together. This was kinda mind-blowing for some at the event where I presented yesterday. Seeing VMs as "fat" containers that you can now start planning to convert to real containers :) 1/4

Don't really mind about Ubuntu getting rust but like, I don't know anything about Rust. I'm open to learning new things (in my own time of course) if I have to involve myself with Rust tho.

But seems like the meat of the problem is the licensing..
