Install a guest OS

Forewords

As a now, netboot.xyz is the main way to install a guest operating system inside Phyllome OS. It is compatible with most but not all guest operating systems.

Preparation

By default, netboot.xyz.iso should already be located under var/lib/libvirt/iso. If it's not the case, please use the following command to fetch it, or navigate to the website:

wget https://boot.netboot.xyz/ipxe/netboot.xyz.iso -P /var/lib/libvirt/iso/

Create a virtual machine using virt-install

The command bellow will create a virtual machine without a disk.

virt-install \
    --connect qemu:///system \
    --virt-type kvm \
    --arch x86_64 \
    --machine q35 \
    --name live-with-netboot-xyz \
    --boot uefi \
    --cpu host-model,topology.sockets=1,topology.cores=1,topology.threads=1 \
    --vcpus 1 \
    --memory 2048 \
    --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 none \
    --cdrom=/var/lib/libvirt/iso/netboot.xyz.iso \
