I was surprised that with so many software developers using MacBooks everyday, nobody has created a guide on how to use libvirt and QEMU with macOS. Today I will be showing the opposite, virtualizing Linux on macOS using the same tools.

Grasping Tech: Creating a Ubuntu Desktop 18.I first learned about libvirt and QEMU three years ago when I wrote a guide on how to virtualize macOS on a Linux system.

After you have defined them all, you can get a list of the VMs that are currently running with virsh list. Also, change the hostfwd argument so that each VM exposes a different port for SSH, e.g.

If you want to create multiple VMs, create an XML file for each machine with a unique UUID, VM name, and VNC port. port 443 from the VM to port 8443 locally, run the following: ssh -p 2222 -L8443:localhost:443 VMs To force shutdown, run virsh destroy ubuntu. Once it restarts you can connect to the VM from your terminal by running ssh -p 2222 send a shutdown signal to your VM, run virsh shutdown ubuntu. Install Ubuntu Server normally, making sure to enable the SSH server. Select Boot Manager, then boot the install image. If you don't see the installation screen, or possibly reinstalling, click the Ctrl+Alt+Del button to reboot the machine, and quickly press Esc to get into the OVMF menu.

Start RealVNC Viewer and connect to localhost. Qemu-img create -f qcow2 ubuntu.qcow2 50gĭownload the ARM Ubuntu Server 20.04 Install Image and my ARM libvirt XML template and place the. Change 50g to the size of your prefered disk: mkdir ~/vms & cd ~/vms The rest of this guide uses VNC.Ĭreate a vms folder in your home directory, and generate a disk image.

The VNC client is responsive and quick to install, but if you have multiple VMs you need to manually manage the different ports. There are two ways to access the virtual display of the VM, either using a VNC client or the virt-viewer program.

Finally start the libvirt service, with brew services start libvirt.

Since macOS doesn't support QEMU security features, we need to disable them: echo 'security_driver = "none"' > /opt/homebrew/etc/libvirt/nfĮcho "dynamic_ownership = 0" > /opt/homebrew/etc/libvirt/nfĮcho "remember_owner = 0" > /opt/homebrew/etc/libvirt/nf.

First, install homebrew, which is a package manager for macOS.

We will be using the ARM versions of libvirt and QEMU, with full Hypervisor.Framework support. Overall, this method is great for headless Linux VMs that run in the background. This is the same article I published last year, except updated for M1 Macs.
