Fantastic Job! I recommend everyone follow this tutorial along if you want to set up QEMU virtualization on your linux boxes. The network bridge part was a total life saver for me especially.

Ran across your video on a Sunday evening, started to listen and watch. The best instructional video for KVM and QEMU I have seen to date.....and I have watched quite a few. Thank you!

Is there a way to setup a cluster. Sort of of a roll your own proxmox?

Thanks for this explanation, i've been setting up windows vm for the past week, and some of the info that you provided was new so i'm also gonna apply it there. The thing that i can't get to work properly yet, is networking. The VM heavily relies on being accessible to other devices in the LAN, so it's pretty important. I need the host OS to have the static ip of 192.168.1.11, and the guest OS to either being DHCP in range of 192.168.1.100-199(that's what my router's default range), or being static ip of something like 192.168.1.80 I've tried lots of things and have been encountering several issues like no internet on the VM, but most often after lots of tries: 1) Host loses it's static ip, and becomes DHCP random address(i guess that's the part of thing that it becomes the slave of bridge0?). 2) Host preserves it's static ip, VM retains it(trying to be as close as possible, it reports as being 192.168.1.112 inside the VM, i guess that's the closest possible free accessible IP of 192.168.1.11), internet inside the VM works, i can access it from other devices, and that's pretty much what i've settled onto, but it feels wrong because it's completely broken. I wish i just could make a virtual network inside the virt-manager with the address of 192.168.1.0/24, but it says it's already used by enp3s0.

Hi, I'm sorry I couldn't see your comment because KZread had blocked it for some "blocked words." Probably because of the IP addresses you entered. Regarding the static IP address on your host for the network bridge, please see my blog post on how to set it. sysguides.com/install-kvm-on-linux#7-08-configure-a-network-bridge As for the static IP address on your Windows VM, you can check this link: www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/windows-11/how-to-configure-a-static-ip-on-windows-10-or-11

do you have a tutorial about single gpu passthrough

I am relative new into Linux, and have used grub boot before, but went system-d boot instead, since I feel it is fit my needs better (I don't use dual boot, nor Winblows anymore) Anyone here might be able to help me?

I have seen many tutorials on how to setup KVM/QEMU on Linux, and this is by far the best! One question tho: Shouldn't the grub2-mkconfig -o argument be equal to "/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg" in case of UEFI based Fedora? And in my fedora /boot/grub2/grub.cfg is not a symlink to the real file. We would also love to see you guys make a video on how to use SELinux to protect KVM/QEMU VMs against exploits.

I'm glad it all worked out in the end. I'm sorry to hear you'll have to reinstall the entire system. Nevertheless, in the future, if you ever mess with SELinux contexts and want to reset to default, you can do the following: Open the file /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.local and remove any contexts that have been added by you. Run the following command to relabel the SELinux contexts and repair them on the next boot: $ sudo fixfiles onboot And reboot. Hopefully, it will resolve any SELinux contexts issues.

@@javaman4584 SEV (Secure Encrypted Virtualization) isn't about Secure Boot. It is a processor feature. It is about securing guest virtual machines. If you do not get any output from the command "lscpu | grep -w sev", simply ignore the warning message. Your processor does not support this feature. But make sure to search Google for SEV support with your AMD processor model name to see if your processor does not actually support this feature.
