There is sparse documentation on how to setup a virtual network that is private (as in just between the virtual guests) on a single VM Host. I tried a myriad of methods and none worked for me. So I tested a few theories of my own, and found something… a method that is ridiculously obvious ...Read More

There are quite a few ways to setup a private, virtual network that is just between virtual guests on a single VM Host. We’ll explore one very simple way here. One of the alternatives would be to use VDE (Virtual Distributed Ethernet), but I’ll wait until KVM-73, which will make VDE setup even easier. For ...Read More
Like any good hypervisor, KVM will support USB pass-through. There are just a few simple steps to make it happen. My example will also addresses an issue with Ubuntu/ Debian, and you may need to make a similar adjustment on other distributions ( I think most require the change).

SSHfs is one of those tools. SSHfs allows you to mount a remote file system, over the secure SSH protocol. That is just plain ...Read More
