Virt-Server

A server for Virt Commander (https://github.com/LucaOonk/Virt-Commander) made in Java so you can start, stop, add, remove to virsh and connect to them from another machine.

This is far from production ready so be ware.

Depends on:

• libvirt https://www.libvirt.org
• QEMU https://www.qemu.org
• virt-viewer

Compatibility

Works on MacOS 11. MacOS 12 is not supported for now as the dependencies are not ready yet.

How to install dependencies on MacOS:

• First, install homebrew, which is a package manager for macOS. (This is automaticaly done at startup)
• Run brew install qemu gcc libvirt virt-viewer. (This is automaticaly done at startup)

Since macOS doesn't support QEMU security features, we need to disable them:

• echo 'security_driver = "none"' >> /usr/local/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf
• echo "dynamic_ownership = 0" >> /usr/local/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf
• echo "remember_owner = 0" >> /usr/local/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf

Finally start the libvirt service, with brew services start libvirt. It will start after boot as well.
