virt-what is a program which can be used to detect if the program is running in a virtual machine.

The program prints out a list of "facts" about the virtual machine, derived from heuristics. One fact is printed per line.

Libx86emu is a small library to emulate x86 instructions. The focus here is not a complete emulation but to cover enough for typical firmware blobs. You can

1. intercept any memory access or directly map real memory ranges

2. intercept any i/o access, map real i/o ports, or block any real i/o

3. intercept any interrupt

4. add a hook to run after each instruction

5. recognize a special x86 instruction that can trigger logging

6. use integrated logging

LXC is a userspace interface for the Linux kernel containment features. Through a powerful API and simple tools, it lets Linux users easily create and manage system or application containers.

Vagrant is the command line utility for managing the lifecycle of virtual machines. Isolate dependencies and their configuration within a single disposable and consistent environment.

Note: Make sure to have ssh and rsync installed — if you use the respective Vagrant functions. This package does not link to any specific implementation of these to allow different clients and to avoid configuration conflicts when running on a `foreign distribution'.

libvirt-glib wraps the libvirt library to provide a high-level object-oriented API better suited for glib-based applications, via three libraries:

1. libvirt-glib - GLib main loop integration & misc helper APIs

2. libvirt-gconfig - GObjects for manipulating libvirt XML documents

3. libvirt-gobject - GObjects for managing libvirt objects

libguestfs is a set of tools for accessing and modifying virtual machine (VM) disk images. You can use this for viewing and editing files inside guests, scripting changes to VMs, monitoring disk used/free statistics, creating guests, P2V, V2V, performing backups, cloning VMs, building VMs, formatting disks, resizing disks, and much more.

This package provides a guest OS definition for Ganeti that uses Guix to build virtual machines.

libguestfs is a set of tools for accessing and modifying virtual machine (VM) disk images. You can use this for viewing and editing files inside guests, scripting changes to VMs, monitoring disk used/free statistics, creating guests, P2V, V2V, performing backups, cloning VMs, building VMs, formatting disks, resizing disks, and much more.

LXCFS is a small FUSE file system written with the intention of making Linux containers feel more like a virtual machine. It started as a side project of LXC but can be used by any run-time.

RVVM is a RISC-V CPU and system software implementation written in C. It supports the entire RV64GC ISA, and it passes compliance tests for both RV64 and RV32. OpenSBI, U-Boot, and custom firmwares boot and execute properly. It is capable of running Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Haiku, and other OSes. Furthermore, it emulates a variety of hardware and peripherals.

This package provides a self-contained library for reading and writing Windows Registry "hive" binary files. Unlike many other tools in this area, it doesn't use the textual .REG format for output, because parsing that is as much trouble as parsing the original binary format. Instead it makes the file available through a C API, or through a separate program to export the hive as XML.

Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux. The library aims at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

This package provides Python bindings to the libvirt virtualization library.

Python-vagrant is a Python module that provides a thin wrapper around the vagrant command line executable, allowing programmatic control of Vagrant virtual machines.

runc is a command line client for running applications packaged according to the Open Container Initiative (OCI) format and is a compliant implementation of the Open Container Initiative specification.

The XenServer guest utilities enable a Xen-based hypervisor, (Citrix XenServer, XCP-NG, etc.) to work with a Xen-enabled Unix-like guest VMs. This allows the guest to share information about its state back to the host, such IP address, memory usage, etc. and allows the host to inform the guest VM about events that change the virtualized hardware, such as hotplugging.

The virt-manager application is a desktop user interface for managing virtual machines through libvirt. It primarily targets KVM VMs, but also manages Xen and LXC (Linux containers). It presents a summary view of running domains, their live performance and resource utilization statistics.

This Vagrant plugin enables reloading a Vagrant VM as a provisioning step.

Spike, the RISC-V ISA Simulator, implements a functional model of one or more RISC-V harts.

This package provides a GTK+ support for open-vm-tools.

This is a Vagrant plugin that adds a Libvirt provider to Vagrant, allowing Vagrant to control and provision machines via the Libvirt toolkit.

skopeo is a command line utility providing various operations with container images and container image registries. It can:

1. Copy container images between various containers image stores, converting them as necessary.

2. Convert a Docker schema 2 or schema 1 container image to an OCI image.

3. Inspect a repository on a container registry without needlessly pulling the image.

4. Sign and verify container images.

5. Delete container images from a remote container registry.

QEMU is a generic machine emulator and virtualizer.

When used as a machine emulator, QEMU can run OSes and programs made for one machine (e.g. an ARM board) on a different machine---e.g., your own PC. By using dynamic translation, it achieves very good performance.

When used as a virtualizer, QEMU achieves near native performances by executing the guest code directly on the host CPU. QEMU supports virtualization when executing under the Xen hypervisor or using the KVM kernel module in Linux. When using KVM, QEMU can virtualize x86, server and embedded PowerPC, and S390 guests.

libosinfo is a GObject based library API for managing information about operating systems, hypervisors and the (virtual) hardware devices they can support. It includes a database containing device metadata and provides APIs to match/identify optimal devices for deploying an operating system on a hypervisor. Via GObject Introspection, the API is available in all common programming languages. Vala bindings are also provided.
