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 and the project behind Phyllome OS.

Phyllome OS is an operating system that makes it easier to run various guest systems locally using off-the-shelf hardware.

Do

Install

Phyllome OS is still in its infancy and not ready for production use. {.is-warning}

• Prepare
• Choose
  • Limitations
  • Requirements
• Install
  • From a live medium (default method)
  • In a virtual machine (to hack it)
  • From source

Use

• Use it as a live system (to test it)
• Use it as an installed system (for daily use)

Master

Phyllome OS

• Perform a few checks on Phyllome OS
• Configure the Virtual Machine Manager manually or automatically
• Deploy Phyllome OS inside Phyllome OS
• Migrate an existing guest virtual machine to another Phyllome OS host
• Resize an existing virtual disk
• Encrypt virtual disk images using filesystem-level encryption
• Use the Cloud Hypervisor to create a virtual machine

Guests systems

Guests support matrix

By design, Phyllome OS only supports modern UEFI-based guests operating systems compatible with virtio devices and that haven't reached their end of life.

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