Generic virtual machine target. This is particularly useful when doing development and testing.

== Installation ==

https://maedevu.maemo.org/images/virtual-machines/

There are three different types of images: VirtualBox (.box), QEMU (.qcow2, .vdi) and Vagrant. The VirtualBox image may be converted to a VMware VMDK image which has been reported to perform better and have good hardware acceleration.
Converting the qcow2 image to raw allows it to be used on real hardware.

=== VirtualBox ===

Download latest .vdi.xz image, unpack it with "xz -d" command.
Create new Virtual Machine, select "Debian (64-bit)" and 1024MB RAM. Use the downloaded file as virtual hard disk.
You are done!

=== QEMU ===

In general something like
qemu-system-x86_64 -hda maemo-leste-1.0-amd64.qcow2 -enable-kvm -cpu host -smp cores=2 -m 1024
should work. But there seem to be issues with some QEMU versions, for more details see [https://github.com/maemo-leste/bugtracker/issues/198 issue#198].

=== Real hardware ===

xz -d maemo-leste-1.0-amd64-virtual-20180425.qcow2.xz
qemu-img convert -f qcow2 -O raw maemo-leste-1.0-amd64-virtual-20180425.qcow2 delme.img

Now you can copy delme.img ... to a spare harddrive? I tried with USB stick and could not get that to work.

== Initial configuration ==

On the first run you may want to generate ssh host keys and set the timezone. To do so open the "X Terminal" application and run:
sudo su -
dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server
dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

Make the system up-to-date:
apt update
apt upgrade
apt install linux-image-amd64
reboot

To get networking to work (at least in virtualbox), launch a shell and do
sudo ifconfig eth0 up
sudo dhclient eth0

Jonsger: /* Initial configuration */ we have apt :)

Not all QEMU versions might work, see this issue for a known working version, as well as a working qemu command line: https://github.com/maemo-leste/bugtracker/issues/198
