On this document, L1 is the host OS and L2 is the guest.
To save time and focus on the task at hand, I used my own personal system as L1. It runs Manjaro 22 (Sikaris) with kernel 5.19.16, QEMU version 7.1.0, libvirt version 8.8.0, Virt Manager 4.1.0 and Avocado 98.0. My system of choice for L2 was Fedora 36 Server, to avoid the overhead of graphical interfaces. I proceeded as follows:
- I downloaded Fedora 36 Server from it's official website
- Imported Fedora's GPG keys with
curl -O <https://getfedora.org/static/fedora.gpg> - Verified the validity of the CHECKSUM with
gpgv --keyring ./fedora.gpg *-CHECKSUM - Verified the ISO with
sha256sum -c *-CHECKSUM
After verifying the ISO:
- I Created the Fedora VM with Virt Manager
- Installed and updated the OS
- Transferred my public key with
ssh-copy-id - Connected through SSH
As such, we have:
- Libvirt URI:
qemu:///system - Libvirt domain:
fedora36 - VM hostname:
fedora36 - SSH connection is done through keys
- Avocado is installed on L1
