What ?

* This repository contains kickstart files for Phyllome itself and its RPM-based guests.

Examples

  • With a remotely hosted kickstart file, install a minimal Linux RPM-based operating system automatically on an UEFI-based, Q35 PCI-Express virtual motherboard with virtio-devices.

Adjust settings according to your needs

virt-install \
    --connect qemu:///system \
    --name flat-dmd \ 
    --virt-type kvm \ 
    --arch x86_64 \ 
    --machine q35 \
    --boot uefi \ 
    --cpu host-model,topology.sockets=1,topology.cores=2,topology.threads=2 \
    --vcpus 4 \ 
    --memory 8192 \
    --controller type=scsi,model=virtio-scsi \
    --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/flat-dmd.img,format=raw,bus=virtio,cache=writeback,size=10 \ 
    --controller type=virtio-serial \ 
    --video virtio \ 
    --network network=default,model=virtio \
    --input type=keyboard,bus=virtio \ 
    --input type=tablet,bus=virtio \ 
    --rng /dev/urandom,model=virtio \
    --channel spicevmc \ 
    --autoconsole none \  
    --sound none \ 
    --controller type=usb,model=none \
    --location=https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/34/Everything/x86_64/os/ \
    --extra-args="inst.ks=https://git.phyllo.me/home/kickstart/raw/branch/master/flat/flat-dmd.cfg"

This one bellow works

virt-install \
    --connect qemu:///system \
    --virt-type kvm \
    --arch x86_64 \
    --machine q35 \
    --name flat-dmd \
    --boot uefi \
    --cpu host-model,topology.sockets=1,topology.cores=2,topology.threads=2 \
    --vcpus 4 \
    --memory 8192 \
    --video virtio \
    --channel spicevmc \
    --autoconsole none \
    --sound none \
    --controller type=virtio-serial \
    --controller type=usb,model=none \
    --controller type=scsi,model=virtio-scsi \
    --network network=default,model=virtio \
    --input type=keyboard,bus=virtio \
    --input type=tablet,bus=virtio \
    --rng /dev/urandom,model=virtio \
    --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/flat-dmd.img,format=raw,bus=virtio,cache=writeback,size=5 \
    --location=https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/34/Everything/x86_64/os/ \
    --extra-args="inst.ks=https://git.phyllo.me/home/kickstart/raw/branch/master/flat/flat-dmd.cfg"

Basic building blocks

%include bmd.cfg # A minimal machine %include bdmd.cfg # A desktop environment %include bhmd.cfg # A base hypervisor %include bhamd.cfg # Specific virtualization configuration for AMD (tm) CPUs

Explanation

virt-install \
    --name flat-dmd \ # [Optionnal] name of the machine 
    --connect qemu:///system \ # we connect to QEMU through the system socket ?
    --virt-type kvm \ # pick kvm VMM
    --arch x86_64 \ # x64 architecture
    --machine q35 \ # pci-express chipset enabled motherboard
    --boot uefi \ # boot type {bios;uefi?}
    --cpu host-model,topology.sockets=1,topology.cores=2,topology.threads=2 \
    --vcpus 4 \ # vCPU number
    --memory 8192 \ # 8192 Mb of RAM
    --controller type=scsi,model=virtio-scsi \
    --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/flat-dmd.img,format=raw,bus=virtio,cache=writeback,size=10 \ # Create a 10 GiB RAW image
    --controller type=virtio-serial \ 
    --video virtio \ # virtual grahicard card, aka virtio-gpu 
    --network network=default,model=virtio \ # virtio NAT-based network
    --input type=keyboard,bus=virtio \ # virtio keyboard
    --input type=tablet,bus=virtio \ # virtio tablet/mouse
    --rng /dev/urandom,model=virtio \
    --channel spicevmc \ # use spice channel. Useful ?
    --autoconsole none \ # no auto connection to console on launch 
    --sound none \ no sound emulation
    --controller type=usb,model=none \ no emulated USB controller
    --location=https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/34/Everything/x86_64/os/ \
