# Phyllome OS wiki

Welcome to the **Phyllome's OS wiki**! 

Here, you will find guides about how to install, use and hack Phyllome OS, as well as more general infos about open-source virtualization.

*[Phyllome OS](https://phyllo.me/) is an operating system that makes it easier to run [various guest systems](/phyllomeos/guests) locally using [off-the-shelf hardware](/phyllomeos/requirements).*

## Do

### Before

* [Prepare](/do/prepare)
* [Choose](/do/choose)
* [Install](/do/install)
  * [From a live medium](/do/install/live) (*default method*)
  * [From source](/do/install/source)
  * [In a virtual machine](/do/install/vm) (*to hack it*)

### During

* [As a live system](/do/use/live) (*to test it*)
* [As an installed system](/do/use/disk) (*for daily use*)

### After

* [Perform a few checks on Phyllome OS](/tasks/checks)
* [Configure the Virtual Machine Manager](/tasks/virt-manager) manually or automatically
* [Deploy Phyllome OS inside Phyllome OS](/tasks/inception) 
* [Migrate](/tasks/migrate) an existing guest virtual machine to another Phyllome OS host
* [Resize](/tasks/resize) an existing virtual disk
* [Encrypt](/tasks/encrypt) virtual disk images using filesystem-level encryption
* [Use the Cloud Hypervisor](/tasks/cloud-hypervisor) to create a virtual machine

#### Guests support

By design, Phyllome OS only supports modern UEFI-based guests operating systems compatible with virtio devices. 

> It is however possible to deploy non-UEFI compatible operating systems within these guest systems, using so-called nested virtualization.
