Two main tools: `quickget` downloads ISOs and creates configs; `quickemu` launches VMs with optimised hardware detection. ## Project structure ``` quickemu # Main VM launcher script (Bash) quickget # OS downloader and config generator (Bash) quickreport # System diagnostics tool (Bash) chunkcheck # Download verification utility (Bash) flake.nix # Nix flake for packaging package.nix # Nix package definition devshell.nix # Development environment ``` ## Development environment ```shell nix develop # Enter devshell with all dependencies direnv reload # Update .direnv/bin/quickemu for testing ``` The devshell patches `quickemu` to use Nix store paths for OVMF and Samba, writing to `.direnv/bin/quickemu`. ## Build and test commands - Lint scripts: `shellcheck quickemu quickget quickreport chunkcheck` - Test quickget URLs: `./quickget --check [release] [edition]` - Test ARM64 downloads: `./quickget --arch arm64 --check [release] [edition]` - Test all architectures: `./quickget --check-all-arch [release] [edition]` - List all supported OSes: `./quickget --list` - Run VM: `./quickemu --vm .conf` ## Code style All scripts are Bash 4.0+ with ShellCheck compliance. | File | Indent | Notes | |------|--------|-------| | quickemu | 2 spaces | Main VM launcher | | quickget | 4 spaces | OS definitions and download logic | **General conventions:** - UTF-8, LF line endings, final newline - Trim trailing whitespace (except Markdown) - Functions use `function name() {` syntax - Many functions are invoked indirectly via dynamic dispatch - `SC2317` is disabled globally in quickget ## Adding a new OS to quickget Follow the [guide in the wiki](https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu/wiki/06-Advanced-quickget-features#adding-a-new-os-to-quickget). Each OS requires: 1. Entry in `os_info()` case statement 2. `releases_()` function returning available versions 3. `editions_()` function if multiple editions exist 4. `arch_()` function if ARM64 is supported (defaults to amd64 only if omitted) 5. Download URL construction logic ## Commit message format Commits must follow [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/). PR titles are validated against this format. **Common prefixes:** - `fix(quickget):` - Fix distro downloads, update editions/releases - `fix(quickemu):` - Fix VM configuration or runtime issues - `feat(quickget):` - Add new OS support - `feat(quickemu):` - Add new VM features - `ci:` - CI/workflow changes - `docs:` - Documentation updates **Examples from recent history:** ``` fix(quickget): update Zorin OS download method and editions fix(quickget): handle Solus Xfce beta naming for older releases fix(quickget): remove Athena OS (no longer getting updates) ``` ## Pull request guidelines - PR titles must match Conventional Commits format (enforced by CI) - Single-commit PRs: commit message must match PR title - Run `shellcheck` before submitting - Test affected OS downloads with `./quickget --check ` ## CI workflows | Workflow | Trigger | Purpose | |----------|---------|---------| | lint-shellcheck | PR | ShellCheck with severity: warning | | lint-pr | PR | Validates PR title matches Conventional Commits | | test-quickget | PR | Tests quickget functionality | | test-build-quickemu | PR | Build verification | | flake-checker | PR | Nix flake validation | ## Platform support - Host: Linux (x86_64, aarch64), macOS (x86_64, aarch64) - Guest: x86_64 (default), aarch64 (set `arch="aarch64"` in VM config) - ARM64 guests use AAVMF firmware and `virt` machine type - Cross-arch emulation uses TCG (no KVM acceleration) - OVMF/UEFI firmware: Linux only - Bash 4.0+ required (explicit version check at runtime) ## Key dependencies Runtime: qemu, cdrtools, curl, jq, spice-gtk, swtpm, samba, zsync Linux-specific: OVMF (x86_64 guests), AAVMF (aarch64 guests), usbutils, mesa-demos ================================================ FILE: CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md ================================================ # Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct ## Our Pledge We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

You decide what operating system you want to run and Quickemu takes care of the rest 🤖 - `quickget` **automatically downloads the upstream OS** and creates the configuration 📀 - `quickemu` enumerates your hardware and launches the virtual machine with the **optimum configuration best suited to your computer** ⚡️ The original objective of the project was to [enable quick testing of Linux distributions](https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu/wiki/02-Create-Linux-virtual-machines) where the virtual machines and their configuration can be stored anywhere (such as external USB storage or your home directory) and no elevated permissions are required to run the virtual machines. **Today, Quickemu includes comprehensive support for [macOS](https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu/wiki/03-Create-macOS-virtual-machines), [Windows](https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu/wiki/04-Create-Windows-virtual-machines)**, most of the BSDs, novel non-Linux operating systems such as FreeDOS, Haiku, KolibriOS, OpenIndiana, ReactOS, and more. # Features - Host support for **Linux and macOS** - **macOS** Sequoia, Sonoma, Ventura, Monterey, Big Sur, Catalina & Mojave - **Windows** 10 and 11 including TPM 2.0 - **Windows Server** 2022 2019 2016 - **ARM64 guest support** for running aarch64 VMs (native on ARM hosts, emulated on x86_64) - [Ubuntu](https://ubuntu.com/desktop) and all the **[official Ubuntu flavours](https://ubuntu.com/download/flavours)** - **Nearly 1000 operating system editions are supported!** - Full SPICE support including host/guest clipboard sharing - VirtIO-webdavd file sharing for Linux and Windows guests - VirtIO-9p file sharing for Linux and macOS guests - [QEMU Guest Agent support](https://wiki.qemu.org/Features/GuestAgent); provides access to a system-level agent via standard QMP commands - Samba file sharing for Linux, macOS and Windows guests (*if `smbd` is installed on the host*) - VirGL acceleration - USB device pass-through - Smartcard pass-through - Automatic SSH port forwarding to guests - Network port forwarding - Full duplex audio - Braille support - EFI (with or without SecureBoot) and Legacy BIOS boot ## As featured on [Linux Matters](https://linuxmatters.sh) podcast! The presenters of Linux Matters 🐧🎙️ are the creators of each of the principal Quickemu projects. We discussed Quickemu's 2024 reboot in [Episode 30 - Quickemu Rising From the Bashes](https://linuxmatters.sh/30).

# Quick start [Once Quickemu is installed](https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu/wiki/01-Installation), there are two simple steps to create and run a virtual machine: - `quickget` automatically downloads the ISO image for the operating system you want to run and creates a configuration file for the virtual machine. ``` shell quickget nixos unstable minimal ``` - `quickemu` starts the virtual machine using the configuration file created by `quickget`. ``` shell quickemu --vm nixos-unstable-minimal.conf ``` Execute `quickget` (with no arguments) to see a list of all the supported operating systems. ## Demo

No requirement for exhaustive configuration options. You decide what operating system you want to run and Quickemu takes care of the rest 🤖 - `quickget` **automatically downloads the upstream OS** and creates the configuration 📀 - `quickemu` enumerates your hardware and launches the virtual machine with the **optimum configuration best suited to your computer** ⚡️ The original objective of the project was to [enable quick testing of Linux distributions](https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu/wiki/02-Create-Linux-virtual-machines) where the virtual machines and their configuration can be stored anywhere (such as external USB storage or your home directory) and no elevated permissions are required to run the virtual machines. **Today, Quickemu includes comprehensive support for [macOS](https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu/wiki/03-Create-macOS-virtual-machines), [Windows](https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu/wiki/04-Create-Windows-virtual-machines)**, most of the BSDs, novel non-Linux operating systems such as FreeDOS, Haiku, KolibriOS, OpenIndiana, ReactOS, and more. # Features - Host support for **Linux and macOS** - **macOS** Sequoia, Sonoma, Ventura, Monterey, Big Sur, Catalina & Mojave - **Windows** 10 and 11 including TPM 2.0 - **Windows Server** 2022 2019 2016 - **ARM64 guest support** for running aarch64 VMs (native on ARM hosts, emulated on x86_64) - [Ubuntu](https://ubuntu.com/desktop) and all the **[official Ubuntu flavours](https://ubuntu.com/download/flavours)** - **Nearly 1000 operating system editions are supported!** - Full SPICE support including host/guest clipboard sharing - VirtIO-webdavd file sharing for Linux and Windows guests - VirtIO-9p file sharing for Linux and macOS guests - [QEMU Guest Agent support](https://wiki.qemu.org/Features/GuestAgent); provides access to a system-level agent via standard QMP commands - Samba file sharing for Linux, macOS and Windows guests (*if `smbd` is installed on the host*) - VirGL acceleration - USB device pass-through - Smartcard pass-through - Automatic SSH port forwarding to guests - Network port forwarding - Full duplex audio - Braille support - EFI (with or without SecureBoot) and Legacy BIOS boot ## As featured on [Linux Matters](https://linuxmatters.sh) podcast! The presenters of Linux Matters 🐧🎙️ are the creators of each of the principal Quickemu projects. We discussed Quickemu's 2024 reboot in [Episode 30 - Quickemu Rising From the Bashes](https://linuxmatters.sh/30).

When installing from source, you will need to install the following requirements manually: - [QEMU](https://www.qemu.org/) (*6.0.0 or newer*) **with GTK, SDL, SPICE & VirtFS support** - [bash](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/) (*4.0 or newer*) - [Coreutils](https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/) - [curl](https://curl.se/) - [EDK II](https://github.com/tianocore/edk2) - [gawk](https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/) - [grep](https://www.gnu.org/software/grep/) - [glxinfo](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/demos) - [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/) - [LSB](https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/lsb/start) - [pciutils](https://github.com/pciutils/pciutils) - [procps](https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps) - [python3](https://www.python.org/) - [mkisofs](http://cdrtools.sourceforge.net/private/cdrecord.html) - [usbutils](https://github.com/gregkh/usbutils) - [util-linux](https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux); including `uuidgen` - [sed](https://www.gnu.org/software/sed/) - [socat](http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/) - [spicy](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/spice/spice-gtk) - [swtpm](https://github.com/stefanberger/swtpm) - [xdg-user-dirs](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xdg-user-dirs/) - [xrandr](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/xrandr) - [zsync](http://zsync.moria.org.uk/) - [unzip](http://www.info-zip.org/UnZip.html) For Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch and NixOS hosts the native packaging or [ppa](https://launchpad.net/~flexiondotorg/+archive/ubuntu/quickemu), [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/quickemu) or [nix](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/pkgs/development/quickemu) packaging will take care of the dependencies. For other host distributions or operating systems it will be necessary to install the above requirements or their equivalents. These examples may save a little typing: #### Install requirements on Debian hosts These should be handled by dependencies in Trixie and later. For earlier versions (and their derivatives): ``` shell sudo apt-get install bash coreutils curl genisoimage grep jq mesa-utils ovmf pciutils procps python3 qemu sed socat spice-client-gtk swtpm-tools unzip usbutils util-linux xdg-user-dirs xrandr zsync ``` #### Install requirements on Fedora hosts These are handled natively for Fedora 41 on. For earlier versions: ``` shell sudo dnf install bash coreutils curl edk2-tools genisoimage grep jq mesa-demos pciutils procps python3 qemu sed socat spice-gtk-tools swtpm unzip usbutils util-linux uuidgen-runtime xdg-user-dirs xrandr zsync ``` ### Install requirements on Gentoo Please note that you may have to use `sys-firmware/edk2-ovmf` instead of `sys-firmware/edk2-ovmf-bin` - depending on how your system is configured. ``` shell sudo emerge --ask --noreplace app-emulation/qemu \ app-shells/bash \ sys-apps/coreutils \ net-misc/curl \ sys-firmware/edk2-ovmf-bin \ sys-apps/gawk \ sys-apps/grep \ x11-apps/mesa-progs \ app-misc/jq \ sys-apps/pciutils \ sys-process/procps \ app-cdr/cdrtools \ sys-apps/usbutils \ sys-apps/util-linux \ sys-apps/sed \ net-misc/socat \ app-emulation/spice \ app-crypt/swtpm \ x11-misc/xdg-user-dirs \ x11-apps/xrandr \ net-misc/zsync \ app-arch/unzip ``` #### Install requirements on macOS hosts Install the Quickemu requirements using brew: ``` shell brew install bash cdrtools coreutils jq python3 qemu usbutils samba socat swtpm zsync ``` Now clone the project: ``` shell git clone https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu cd quickemu ``` ## [Alternative Frontends](https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu/wiki/07-Alternative-frontends) ### Quickgui While `quickemu` and `quickget` are designed for the terminal, a graphical user interface is also available: - **[Quickgui](https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickgui)** by [Mark Johnson](https://github.com/marxjohnson) and [Yannick Mauray](https://github.com/ymauray). To install Quickgui on Ubuntu: ``` shell sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannick-mauray/quickgui sudo apt update sudo apt install quickgui ``` Many thanks to [Luke Wesley-Holley](https://github.com/Lukewh) and [Philipp Kiemle](https://github.com/daPhipz) for creating the **[Quickemu icons](https://github.com/Lukewh/quickemu-icons)** 🎨 ## Creating Linux guests 🐧 ### Ubuntu `quickget` will automatically download an Ubuntu release and create the virtual machine configuration. ``` shell quickget ubuntu 22.04 quickemu --vm ubuntu-22.04.conf ``` - Complete the installation as normal. - Post-install: - Install the SPICE agent (`spice-vdagent`) in the guest to enable copy/paste and USB redirection - `sudo apt install spice-vdagent` - Install the SPICE WebDAV agent (`spice-webdavd`) in the guest to enable file sharing. - `sudo apt install spice-webdavd` ### Ubuntu daily-live images `quickget` can also download/refresh daily-live images via `zsync` for Ubuntu developers and testers. ``` shell quickget ubuntu daily-live quickemu --vm ubuntu-daily-live.conf ``` You can run `quickget ubuntu daily-live` to refresh your daily development image as often as you like, it will even automatically switch to a new series. ### Ubuntu Flavours All the official Ubuntu flavours are supported, just replace `ubuntu` with your preferred flavour. The project [wiki](https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu/wiki/02-Create-Linux-virtual-machines) may have further information. - `edubuntu` (Edubuntu) - `kubuntu` (Kubuntu) - `lubuntu` (Lubuntu) - `ubuntu-budgie` (Ubuntu Budgie) - `ubuntucinnamon` (Ubuntu Cinnamon) - `ubuntukylin` (Ubuntu Kylin) - `ubuntu-mate` (Ubuntu MATE) - `ubuntu-server` (Ubuntu Server) - `ubuntustudio` (Ubuntu Studio) - `ubuntu` (Ubuntu) - `ubuntu-unity` (Ubuntu Unity) - `xubuntu` (Xubuntu) You can also use `quickget` with advanced options : ``` text --arch : Set architecture (arm64, aarch64, amd64, x86_64) --download [edition] : Download image; no VM configuration --create-config [path/url] [flags] : Create VM config for an OS image --open-homepage : Open homepage for the OS --show [os] : Show OS information --version : Show version --help : Show this help message ------------------------------------ Flags ------------------------------------- --create-config: --disable-unattended : Force quickget not to set up an unattended installation -------------------------- For testing & development --------------------------- --url [os] [release] [edition] : Show image URL(s) --check [os] [release] [edition] : Check image URL(s) --check-all-arch [os] [release] [edition] : Check downloads for all architectures (amd64 and arm64) --list : List all supported systems --list-csv : List everything in csv format --list-json : List everything in json format ``` Here are some typical uses ``` shell # show an OS ISO download URL for {os} {release} [edition] quickget --url fedora 38 Silverblue # test if an OS ISO is available for {os} {release} [edition] quickget --check nixos unstable plasma5 # open an OS distribution homepage in a browser quickget --open-homepage ubuntu-mate # Only download image file into current directory, without creating VM quickget --download elementary 7.1 ``` The `--url`, `--check`, and `--download` options are fully functional for all operating systems, including Windows and macOS. Further information is available from the project [wiki](https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu/wiki/06-Advanced-quickget-features) ### Other Operating Systems `quickget` also supports: - `alma` (AlmaLinux) - `alpine` (Alpine Linux) - `android` (Android x86) - `antix` (Antix) - `archcraft` (Archcraft) - `archlinux` (Arch Linux) - `artixlinux` (Artix Linux) - `azurelinux` (Azure Linux) - `batocera` (Batocera) - `bazzite` (Bazzite) - `biglinux` (BigLinux) - `blendos` (BlendOS) - `bodhi` (Bodhi) - `bunsenlabs` (BunsenLabs) - `cachyos` (CachyOS) - `centos-stream` (CentOS Stream) - `chimeralinux` (Chimera Linux) - `crunchbang++` (Crunchbangplusplus) - `debian` (Debian) - `deepin` (Deepin) - `devuan` (Devuan) - `dragonflybsd` (DragonFlyBSD) - `easyos` (EasyOS) - `elementary` (elementary OS) - `endeavouros` (EndeavourOS) - `endless` (Endless OS) - `fedora` (Fedora) - `freebsd` (FreeBSD) - `freedos` (FreeDOS) - `garuda` (Garuda Linux) - `gentoo` (Gentoo) - `ghostbsd` (GhostBSD) - `gnomeos` (GNOME OS) - `guix` (Guix) - `haiku` (Haiku) - `kali` (Kali) - `kdeneon` (KDE Neon) - `kolibrios` (KolibriOS) - `linuxlite` (Linux Lite) - `linuxmint` (Linux Mint) - `lmde` (Linux Mint Debian Edition) - `maboxlinux` (Mabox Linux) - `mageia` (Mageia) - `manjaro` (Manjaro) - `mxlinux` (MX Linux) - `netboot` (netboot.xyz) - `netbsd` (NetBSD) - `nitrux` (Nitrux) - `nixos` (NixOS) - `nwg-shell` (nwg-shell) - `openbsd` (OpenBSD) - `openindiana` (OpenIndiana) - `opensuse` (openSUSE) - `oraclelinux` (Oracle Linux) - `parrotsec` (Parrot Security) - `pclinuxos` (PCLinuxOS) - `peppermint` (PeppermintOS) - `popos` (Pop!\_OS) - `porteus` (Porteus) - `primtux` (PrimTux) - `proxmox-ve` (Proxmox VE) - `pureos` (PureOS) - `reactos` (ReactOS) - `rebornos` (RebornOS) - `rockylinux` (Rocky Linux) - `siduction` (Siduction) - `slackware` (Slackware) - `slax` (Slax) - `slint` (Slint) - `slitaz` (SliTaz) - `solus` (Solus) - `sparkylinux` (SparkyLinux) - `spirallinux` (SpiralLinux) - `tails` (Tails) - `tinycore` (Tiny Core Linux) - `trisquel` (Trisquel) - `tuxedo-os` (Tuxedo OS) - `vanillaos` (Vanilla OS) - `void` (Void Linux) - `zorin` (Zorin OS) ### [Custom Linux guests](https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu/wiki/02-Create-Linux-virtual-machines#manually-create-linux-guests) Or you can download a Linux image and manually create a VM configuration. - Download a .iso image of a Linux distribution - Create a VM configuration file; for example `debian-bullseye.conf` ``` shell guest_os="linux" disk_img="debian-bullseye/disk.qcow2" iso="debian-bullseye/firmware-11.0.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso" ``` - Use `quickemu` to start the virtual machine: ``` shell quickemu --vm debian-bullseye.conf ``` - Complete the installation as normal. - Post-install: - Install the SPICE agent (`spice-vdagent`) in the guest to enable copy/paste and USB redirection. - Install the SPICE WebDAV agent (`spice-webdavd`) in the guest to enable file sharing. ## Supporting old Linux distros If you want to run an old Linux , from 2016 or earlier, change the `guest_os` to `linux_old`. This will enable the `vmware-svga` graphics driver which is better supported on older distros. ## [Creating macOS Guests](https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu/wiki/03-Create-macOS-virtual-machines#automatically-create-macos-guests) 🍏 **Installing macOS in a VM can be a bit finicky, if you encounter problems, [check the Discussions](https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu/discussions) for solutions or ask for help there** 🛟 `quickget` automatically downloads a macOS recovery image and creates a virtual machine configuration. Note: Some VPN users may need to [turn off their VPN](https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu/issues/1391#issuecomment-3506845235) in order to download a recovery image. Some other users may find [using a VPN](https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu/issues/1391#issuecomment-2429146013) necessary in order to download a recovery image. ``` shell quickget macos big-sur quickemu --vm macos-big-sur.conf ``` macOS `mojave`, `catalina`, `big-sur`, `monterey`, `ventura` and `sonoma` are supported. - Use cursor keys and enter key to select the **macOS Base System** - From **macOS Utilities** - Click **Disk Utility** and **Continue** - Select `QEMU HARDDISK Media` (~103.08GB) from the list (on Big Sur and above use `Apple Inc. VirtIO Block Device`) and click **Erase**. - Enter a `Name:` for the disk - If you are installing macOS Mojave or later (Catalina, Big Sur, Monterey, Ventura and Sonoma), choose any of the APFS options as the filesystem. MacOS Extended may not work. - Click **Erase**. - Click **Done**. - Close Disk Utility - From **macOS Utilities** - Click **Reinstall macOS** and **Continue** - Complete the installation as you normally would. - On the first reboot use cursor keys and enter key to select **macOS Installer** - On the subsequent reboots use cursor keys and enter key to select the disk you named - Once you have finished installing macOS you will be presented with an the out-of-the-box first-start wizard to configure various options and set up your username and password - OPTIONAL: After you have concluded the out-of-the-box wizard, you may want to enable the TRIM feature that the computer industry created for SSD disks. This feature in our macOS installation will allow QuickEmu to compact (shrink) your macOS disk image whenever you delete files inside the Virtual Machine. Without this step your macOS disk image will only ever get larger and will not shrink even when you delete lots of data inside macOS. - To enable TRIM, open the Terminal application and type the following command followed by pressing enter to tell macos to use the TRIM command on the hard disk when files are deleted: ``` shell sudo trimforce enable ``` You will be prompted to enter your account's password to gain the privilege needed. Once you've entered your password and pressed enter the command will request confirmation in the form of two questions that require you to type y (for a "yes" response) followed by enter to confirm. If you press enter without first typing y the system will consider that a negative response as though you said "no": ``` plain IMPORTANT NOTICE: This tool force-enables TRIM for all relevant attached devices, even though such devices may not have been validated for data integrity while using TRIM. Use of this tool to enable TRIM may result in unintended data loss or data corruption. It should not be used in a commercial operating environment or with important data. Before using this tool, you should back up all of your data and regularly back up data while TRIM is enabled. This tool is provided on an "as is" basis. APPLE MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, REGARDING THIS TOOL OR ITS USE ALONE OR IN COMBINATION WITH YOUR DEVICES, SYSTEMS, OR SERVICES. BY USING THIS TOOL TO ENABLE TRIM, YOU AGREE THAT, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, USE OF THE TOOL IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK AND THAT THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO SATISFACTORY QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, ACCURACY AND EFFORT IS WITH YOU. Are you sure you with to proceed (y/N)? ``` And a second confirmation once you've confirmed the previous one: ``` plain Your system will immediately reboot when this is complete. Is this OK (y/N)? ``` As the last message states, your system will automatically reboot as soon as the command completes. The default macOS configuration looks like this: ``` shell guest_os="macos" img="macos-big-sur/RecoveryImage.img" disk_img="macos-big-sur/disk.qcow2" macos_release="big-sur" ``` - `guest_os="macos"` instructs Quickemu to optimise for macOS. - `macos_release="big-sur"` instructs Quickemu to optimise for a particular macOS release. - For example VirtIO Network and Memory Ballooning are available in Big Sur and newer, but not previous releases. - And VirtIO Block Media (disks) are supported/stable in Catalina and newer. # macOS compatibility There are some considerations when running macOS via Quickemu. - Supported macOS releases: - Mojave - Catalina - Big Sur - Monterey - Ventura - Sonoma - `quickemu` will automatically download the required [OpenCore](https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg) bootloader and OVMF firmware from [OSX-KVM](https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM). - Optimised by default, but no GPU acceleration is available. - Host CPU vendor is detected and guest CPU is optimised accordingly. - [VirtIO Block Media](https://www.kraxel.org/blog/2019/06/macos-qemu-guest/) is used for the system disk where supported. - [VirtIO `usb-tablet`](http://philjordan.eu/osx-virt/) is used for the mouse. - VirtIO Network (`virtio-net`) is supported and enabled on macOS Big Sur and newer, but earlier releases use `vmxnet3`. - VirtIO Memory Ballooning is supported and enabled on macOS Big Sur and newer but disabled for other support macOS releases. - USB host and SPICE pass-through is: - UHCI (USB 2.0) on macOS Catalina and earlier. - XHCI (USB 3.0) on macOS Big Sur and newer. - Display resolution can be changed via `quickemu` using `--width` and `--height` command line arguments. - **Full Duplex audio requires [VoodooHDA OC](https://github.com/chris1111/VoodooHDA-OC) or pass-through a USB audio-device to the macOS guest VM**. - NOTE! [Gatekeeper](https://disable-gatekeeper.github.io/) and [System Integrity Protection (SIP)](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/disabling_and_enabling_system_integrity_protection) need to be disabled to install VoodooHDA OC - File sharing between guest and host is available via [virtio-9p](https://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/9psetup) and [SPICE webdavd](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/phodav/-/merge_requests/24). - Copy/paste via SPICE agent is **not available on macOS**. # macOS App Store If you see *"Your device or computer could not be verified"* when you try to login to the App Store, make sure that your wired ethernet device is `en0`. Use `ifconfig` in a terminal to verify this. If the wired ethernet device is not `en0`, then then go to *System Preferences* -\> *Network*, delete all the network devices and apply the changes. Next, open a terminal and run the following: ``` shell sudo rm /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist ``` Now reboot, and the App Store should work. There may be further advice and information about macOS guests in the project [wiki](https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu/wiki/03-Create-macOS-virtual-machines#automatically-create-macos-guests). ## [Creating Windows guests](https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu/wiki/04-Create-Windows-virtual-machines) 🪟 `quickget` can download [**Windows 10**](https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows10) and [**Windows 11**](https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11) automatically and create an optimised virtual machine configuration. This configuration also includes the [VirtIO drivers for Windows](https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/). **Windows 8.1** is also supported but doesn't feature any automated installation or driver optimisation. `quickget` can also download [Windows 10 LTSC](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/download-windows-10-enterprise) and Windows Server [2012-r2](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/download-windows-server-2012-r2), [2016](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/download-windows-server-2016), [2019](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/download-windows-server-2019), and [2022](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/download-windows-server-2022). No automated installation is supported for these releases. ``` shell quickget windows 11 quickemu --vm windows-11.conf ``` - Complete the installation as you normally would. - All relevant drivers and services should be installed automatically. - A local administrator user account is automatically created, with these credentials: - Username: `Quickemu` - Password: `quickemu` Further information is available from the project [wiki](https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu/wiki/04-Create-Windows-virtual-machines) ## Configuration Here are the usage instructions: ``` text Usage quickemu --vm ubuntu.conf Arguments --access : Enable remote spice access support.

It uses sensible defaults, but many configuration options can be overridden in the required configuration file, which will as a minimum specify the path to the installation ISO and QEMU disk for the installed VM # OPTIONS These are the options and defaults for the \.conf file ``` shell # Lowercase variables are used in the VM config file only boot="efi" cpu_cores="" disk_img="" disk_size="" display="" extra_args="" fixed_iso="" floppy="" guest_os="linux" img="" iso="" macaddr="" macos_release="" network="" port_forwards=() preallocation="off" ram="" secureboot="off" tpm="off" usb_devices=() viewer="spicy" ssh_port="" spice_port="" public_dir="" monitor="socket" monitor_telnet_port="4440" monitor_telnet_host="localhost" monitor_cmd="" serial="socket" serial_telnet_port="6660" serial_telnet_host="localhost" # options: ehci(USB2.0), xhci(USB3.0) usb_controller="ehci" # options: ps2, usb, virtio keyboard="usb" keyboard_layout="en-us" # options: ps2, usb, tablet, virtio mouse="tablet" ``` # EXAMPLES ``` shell guest_os="linux" disk_img="debian-bullseye/disk.qcow2" iso="debian-bullseye/firmware-11.0.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso" ``` The default macOS configuration looks like this: ``` shell guest_os="macos" img="macos-catalina/RecoveryImage.img" disk_img="macos-catalina/disk.qcow2" macos_release="catalina" ``` - `guest_os="macos"` instructs Quickemu to optimise for macOS. - `macos_release="catalina"` instructs Quickemu to optimise for a particular macOS release. - For example VirtIO Network and Memory Ballooning are available in Big Sur and newer, but not previous releases. - And VirtIO Block Media (disks) are supported/stable in Catalina and newer. The default Windows 11 configuration looks like this: ``` shell guest_os="windows" disk_img="windows-11/disk.qcow2" iso="windows-11/Win11_EnglishInternational_x64.iso" fixed_iso="windows-11/virtio-win.iso" tpm="on" secureboot="on" ``` - `guest_os="windows"` instructs `quickemu` to optimise for Windows. - `fixed_iso=` specifies the ISO image that provides VirtIO drivers. - `tpm="on"` instructs `quickemu` to create a software emulated TPM device using `swtpm`. ### BIOS and EFI Since Quickemu 2.1.0 `efi` is the default boot option. If you want to override this behaviour then add the following line to you VM configuration to enable legacy BIOS. - `boot="legacy"` - Enable Legacy BIOS boot ### Tuning CPU cores, RAM & disks By default, Quickemu will calculate the number of CPUs cores and RAM to allocate to a VM based on the specifications of your host computer. You can override this default behaviour and tune the VM configuration to your liking. Add additional lines to your virtual machine configuration: - `cpu_cores="4"` - Specify the number of CPU cores allocated to the VM - `ram="4G"` - Specify the amount of RAM to allocate to the VM - `disk_size="16G"` - Specify the size of the virtual disk allocated to the VM ### Disk preallocation Preallocation mode (allowed values: `off` (default), `metadata`, `falloc`, `full`). An image with preallocated metadata is initially larger but can improve performance when the image needs to grow. Specify what disk preallocation should be used, if any, when creating the system disk image by adding a line like this to your VM configuration. - `preallocation="metadata"` ### CD-ROM disks If you want to expose an ISO image from the host to guest add the following line to the VM configuration: - `fixed_iso="/path/to/image.iso"` ### Floppy disks If you're like [Alan Pope](https://popey.com) you'll probably want to mount a floppy disk image in the guest. To do so add the following line to the VM configuration: - `floppy="/path/to/floppy.img"` ### File Sharing All File Sharing options will only expose `~/Public` (or localised variations) for the current user to the guest VMs. #### Samba 🐧 🍏 🪟 If `smbd` is available on the host, Quickemu will automatically enable the built-in QEMU support for exposing a Samba share from the host to the guest. You can install the minimal Samba components on Ubuntu using: ``` shell sudo apt install --no-install-recommends samba ``` If everything is set up correctly, the `smbd` address will be printed when the virtual machine is started. For example: - smbd: On guest: smb://10.0.2.4/qemu If using a Windows guest, right-click on "This PC", click "Add a network location", and paste this address, removing `smb:` and replacing forward slashes with backslashes (in this example `\\10.0.2.4\qemu`). #### SPICE WebDAV 🐧 🪟 - TBD #### VirtIO-9P 🐧 🍏 - TBD ### Networking #### Port forwarding Add an additional line to your virtual machine configuration. For example: - `port_forwards=("8123:8123" "8888:80")` In the example above: - Port 8123 on the host is forwarded to port 8123 on the guest. - Port 8888 on the host is forwarded to port 80 on the guest. #### Disable networking To completely disable all network interfaces in a guest VM add this additional line to your virtual machine configuration: - `network="none"` #### Restricted networking You can isolate the guest from the host (and broader network) using the restrict option, which will restrict networking to just the guest and any virtual devices. This can be used to prevent software running inside the guest from phoning home while still providing a network inside the guest. Add this additional line to your virtual machine configuration: - `network="restrict"` #### Bridged networking Connect your virtual machine to a preconfigured network bridge. Add an additional line to your virtual machine configuration: - `network="br0"` If you want to have a persistent MAC address for your bridged network interface in the guest VM you can add `macaddr` to the virtual machine configuration. QEMU requires that the MAC address is in the range: **52:54:00:AB:00:00 - 52:54:00:AB:FF:FF** So you can generate your own MAC addresses with: - `macaddr="52:54:00:AB:51:AE"` ### USB redirection Quickemu supports USB redirection via SPICE pass-through and host pass-through. Quickemu supports USB redirection via SPICE pass-through and host pass-through. **NOTE!** When a USB device is redirected from the host, it will not be usable by host operating system until the guest redirection is stopped. Therefore, do not redirect the input devices, such as the keyboard and mouse, as it will be difficult (or impossible) to revert the situation. #### SPICE redirection (recommended) Using SPICE for USB pass-through is easiest as it doesn't require any elevated permission: Both `spicy` from [spice-gtk](https://www.spice-space.org/spice-gtk.html) (*Input -\> Select USB Devices for redirection*) and `remote-viewer` from [virt-viewer](https://gitlab.com/virt-viewer/virt-viewer) (*File -\> USB device selection*) support this feature. - Start Quickemu with `--display spice` and then - Select `Input` -\> `Select USB Device for redirection` from the menu to choose which device(s) you want to attach to the guest. - \*\*`spicy` (default) - \*\*Select `Input` -\> `Select USB Device for redirection` from the menu to choose which device(s) you want to attach to the guest. - \*\*`remote-viewer` - \*\*Select `File` -\> `USB device selection` from the menu to choose which device(s) you want to attach to the guest. To ensure that this functionality works as expected, make sure that you have installed the necessary SPICE Guest Tools on the virtual machine. ##### Enabling SPICE redirection on NixOS On NixOS, if you encounter this error: Error setting facl: Operation not permitted Try setting [the following option](https://search.nixos.org/options?channel=23.11&show=virtualisation.spiceUSBRedirection.enable&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=spiceusbredirec): ``` nix virtualisation.spiceUSBRedirection.enable = true; ``` #### Host redirection (**NOT Recommended**) **USB host redirection is not recommended**, it is provided purely for backwards compatibility to older versions of Quickemu. Using SPICE is preferred, see above. Add an additional line to your virtual machine configuration. For example: - `usb_devices=("046d:082d" "046d:085e")` In the example above: - The USB device with vendor_id 046d and product_id 082d will be exposed to the guest. - The USB device with vendor_id 046d and product_id 085e will be exposed to the guest. If the USB devices are not writable, `quickemu` will display the appropriate commands to modify the USB device(s) access permissions, like this: - USB: Host pass-through requested: - Sennheiser Communications EPOS GTW 270 on bus 001 device 005 needs permission changes: sudo chown -v root:user /dev/bus/usb/001/005 ERROR! USB permission changes are required 👆 ### TPM Since Quickemu 2.2.0 a software emulated TPM device can be added to guest virtual machines.

[Gatekeeper](https://disable-gatekeeper.github.io/) and [System Integrity Protection (SIP)](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/disabling_and_enabling_system_integrity_protection) need to be disabled to install VoodooHDA OC - File sharing between guest and host is available via [virtio-9p](https://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/9psetup) and [SPICE webdavd](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/phodav/-/merge_requests/24). - Copy/paste via SPICE agent is **not available on macOS**. # macOS App Store If you see *"Your device or computer could not be verified"* when you try to login to the App Store, make sure that your wired ethernet device is `en0`. Use `ifconfig` in a terminal to verify this. If the wired ethernet device is not `en0`, then then go to *System Preferences* -\> *Network*, delete all the network devices and apply the changes. Next, open a terminal and run the following: ``` shell sudo rm /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist ``` Now reboot, and the App Store should work. There may be further advice and information about macOS guests in the project [wiki](https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu/wiki/03-Create-macOS-virtual-machines#automatically-create-macos-guests). ## [Creating Windows guests](https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu/wiki/04-Create-Windows-virtual-machines) 🪟 `quickget` can download [**Windows 10**](https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows10) and [**Windows 11**](https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11) automatically and create an optimised virtual machine configuration. This configuration also includes the [VirtIO drivers for Windows](https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/). **Windows 8.1** is also supported but doesn't feature any automated installation or driver optimisation. `quickget` can also download [Windows 10 LTSC](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/download-windows-10-enterprise) and Windows Server [2012-r2](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/download-windows-server-2012-r2), [2016](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/download-windows-server-2016), [2019](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/download-windows-server-2019), and [2022](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/download-windows-server-2022). No automated installation is supported for these releases. ``` shell quickget windows 11 quickemu --vm windows-11.conf ``` - Complete the installation as you normally would. - All relevant drivers and services should be installed automatically. - A local administrator user account is automatically created, with these credentials: - Username: `Quickemu` - Password: `quickemu` Further information is available from the project [wiki](https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu/wiki/04-Create-Windows-virtual-machines) # AUTHORS Written by Martin Wimpress. # BUGS Submit bug reports online at: # SEE ALSO Full sources at: quickemu(1), quickemu_conf(5), quickgui(1) ================================================ FILE: flake.lock ================================================ { "nodes": { "flake-schemas": { "locked": { "lastModified": 1772200446, "narHash": "sha256-hcUPpu25+VLvQsf961cu4zTeA//Ab35MaMjqSS/Ojqc=", "rev": "d6a6b7cfa25bea552c197c9e227cd293ff801dbb", "revCount": 115, "type": "tarball", "url": "https://api.flakehub.com/f/pinned/DeterminateSystems/flake-schemas/0.3.0/019c9f61-e746-760e-a1fe-53f05b10d026/source.tar.gz" }, "original": { "type": "tarball", "url": "https://flakehub.com/f/DeterminateSystems/flake-schemas/%2A.tar.gz" } }, "nixpkgs": { "locked": { "lastModified": 1771848320, "narHash": "sha256-0MAd+0mun3K/Ns8JATeHT1sX28faLII5hVLq0L3BdZU=", "owner": "nixos", "repo": "nixpkgs", "rev": "2fc6539b481e1d2569f25f8799236694180c0993", "type": "github" }, "original": { "owner": "nixos", "ref": "nixos-unstable", "repo": "nixpkgs", "type": "github" } }, "root": { "inputs": { "flake-schemas": "flake-schemas", "nixpkgs": "nixpkgs" } } }, "root": "root", "version": 7 } ================================================ FILE: flake.nix ================================================ { description = "Quickemu flake"; inputs = { flake-schemas.url = "https://flakehub.com/f/DeterminateSystems/flake-schemas/*.tar.gz"; nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable"; }; outputs = { self, flake-schemas, nixpkgs, }: let # Define supported systems and a helper function for generating system-specific outputs supportedSystems = [ "x86_64-linux" "x86_64-darwin" "aarch64-darwin" "aarch64-linux" ]; forEachSupportedSystem = f: nixpkgs.lib.genAttrs supportedSystems ( system: f { system = system; pkgs = import nixpkgs { inherit system; }; } ); in { # Define schemas for the flake's outputs schemas = flake-schemas.schemas; # Define overlays for each supported system overlays = { default = final: prev: let # OVMF is only available/needed on Linux ovmfArgs = if final.stdenv.hostPlatform.isLinux then { } else { OVMF = null; OVMFFull = null; }; in { quickemu = final.callPackage ./package.nix ovmfArgs; }; }; # Define packages for each supported system packages = forEachSupportedSystem ( { pkgs, system, ... }: let # OVMF is only available/needed on Linux ovmfArgs = if pkgs.stdenv.hostPlatform.isLinux then { } else { OVMF = null; OVMFFull = null; }; in rec { quickemu = pkgs.callPackage ./package.nix ovmfArgs; default = quickemu; } ); # Define devShells for each supported system devShells = forEachSupportedSystem ( { pkgs, system, ... }: let # OVMF is only available/needed on Linux ovmfArgs = if pkgs.stdenv.hostPlatform.isLinux then { } else { OVMF = null; OVMFFull = null; }; in { default = pkgs.callPackage ./devshell.nix ovmfArgs; } ); }; } ================================================ FILE: package.nix ================================================ { lib, fetchFromGitHub, installShellFiles, makeWrapper, stdenv, testers, cdrtools, curl, gawk, gnugrep, gnused, jq, mesa-demos, pciutils, procps, python3, qemu_full, samba, socat, spice-gtk, swtpm, unzip, usbutils, util-linux, xdg-user-dirs, xrandr, zsync, OVMF ?
