Phyllome OS wiki

Welcome to the Phyllome OS wiki!

In this wiki, you will find guides about how to install, use and hack Phyllome OS, as well as more general information about open-source virtualization and the project behind this specialized OS.

What is Phyllome OS? Phyllome OS is an operating system that makes it easier to run various guest systems locally using off-the-shelf hardware. If you want to learn more about it, its goal and the context around it, have a look at the white-paper.

Phyllome refers to the "foliar part of a plant; any organ homologous with a leaf, or [any organ] produced by metamorphosis of a leaf" ¹

Guest OS

Although Phyllome OS thrives to pick good defaults that will work for many guest operating systems, further optimizations may be needed depending on the system you wish to use.

Install a Linux guest system using an ISO file
Unattended deployment of a RPM-based guest using a kickstart file
Install a Windows guest system using an ISO file
...and more

This section is meant to introduce the execution of particular taks on Phyllome OS. Some of these tasks will be rendered obsolete with newer Phyllome OS versions.
