KVM virtual machines are standard fare in shared Linux servers. But here we will talk about using KVM in a desktop environment and strategize how to use it for privacy. KVM is an incredibly practical tool for coming up with private and secure approaches to a desktop experience. This video introduces some practical application of KVM and variants in use. This is not just an installation video. In this video we will demonstrate how to install KVM, which is very easy on Linux. Later in the video we will strategize the use of VM's in a way that is actually practical for daily driver use on a desktop. This includes demonstrating how to set up KVM on an external drive and thinking about linking it with cloud options. This video was done using Ubuntu 20.04 on a Starlabs Systems laptop. If you're interested in setting up a NextCloud server or your own KVM servers in the cloud, look into: Linode ($100 60 day credit offer) https://linode.com/RobBraxman COMMAND LINE Check for Virtualization Support egrep -c '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo sudo apt-get install cpu-checker kvm-ok KVM Install sudo apt install -y qemu qemu-kvm libvirt-daemon libvirt-clients bridge-utils virt-manager Install a VM by Command Line sudo virt-install --name=ubuntu20.04-vm --os-variant=Ubuntu20.04 --vcpu=2 --ram=4096 --graphics spice --location=/home/Downloads/ubuntu20.04.iso-desktop-amd64.iso --network bridge:vibr0 Find VM Locations virsh list --all virsh vol-list default cd /var/lib/libvirt/images Edit VM Locations on KVM virsh pool-destroy virsh pool-edit default virsh pool-start Edit Location in VM Config virsh edit ubuntu20.04 or virsh edit [domain] ----------------- I'm the Internet Privacy Guy. I'm a public interest technologist. I'm here to educate. You are losing your Internet privacy and Internet security every day if you don't fight for it. Your data is collected with endless permanent data mining. Learn about a TOR router, a VPN , antivirus, spyware, firewalls, IP address, wifi triangulation, data privacy regulation, backups and tech tools, and evading mass surveillance from NSA, CIA, FBI. Learn how to be anonymous on the Internet so you are not profiled. Learn to speak freely with pseudo anonymity. Learn more about the dangers of the inernet and the dangers of social media, dangers of email. I like alternative communication technology like Amateur Radio and data communications using Analog. I'm a licensed HAM operator.
