Short summary to run Linux VMs on an Apple M1 host using QEMU, libvirt and HVF with a working network setup

Linux Virtual Machines with Private Network on an Apple M1 Device

Background

The aim was to be able to:

  1. Run multiple Linux VMs on an Apple M1/ARM device
  2. Use Apple's HVF for native performance speeds
  3. Configure VMs to allow network access to each other
  4. Configure VMs to allow access to the internet
  5. Not rely on custom modifications of software

How is git commit sha1 formed

Ok, I geeked out, and this is probably more information than you need. But it completely answers the question. Sorry. ☺

Locally, I'm at this commit:

$ git show
commit d6cd1e2bd19e03a81132a23b2025920577f84e37
