barrier

616 26,059 0.0 C

Open-source KVM software

Project mention: Show HN: Multi-monitor KVM using just a USB switch | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-10

For software KVM you can use https://github.com/debauchee/barrier
I use it between a Windows PC & a Macbookpro (Linux version available but I don't have Linux)

kvm-guest-drivers-windows

32 1,826 9.0 C

Windows paravirtualized drivers for QEMU\KVM

Project mention: Why are Apple Silicon VMs so different? | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-29

There's mature VirtIO drivers for just about everything already, under the virtio-win umbrella: https://github.com/virtio-win/kvm-guest-drivers-windows
My desktop PC is using libvirt+qemu (on an Arch host. I use Arch, btw) to PCI passthru my RTX 4090 GPU to a Windows guest. I installed the guest initially with emulated SATA for the main drive. Once Windows was up and running, I installed virtio-win and the guest is now using virtIO accelerated drivers for the network interface, main disk. I'm also sharing some filesystems using virtio-fs.

WorkOS

The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
ustreamer

17 1,555 9.4 C

µStreamer - Lightweight and fast MJPEG-HTTP streamer

Project mention: MediaMTX: Zero-dependency server for live video and audio streams | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-05-28

FYI until recently this was known as 'rtsp-simple-server', but it outgrew simply being a RTSP server so it was rebranded. It is commonly used in the 3D printing community for serving webcams attached to printers along with ustreamer (https://github.com/pikvm/ustreamer).

solo5

4 867 5.8 C

A sandboxed execution environment for unikernels

Project mention: Mirage – A programming framework for building type-safe, modular systems | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-23

What you already can do is attaching gdb -- either live or at a core dump. Please see https://github.com/Solo5/solo5/blob/master/docs/debugging.md for detailed instructions ;)
What you as well can do is record-replay -- well, at least there used to be this option, I'm now lost whether it has never been merged anywhere, or it is stuck in some PR somewhere. This was truly great - since the external interface is so thin, it is easily doable to dump all external events (API calls and returns) onto disk and replay one-by-one, inspecting the state.

blikvm

3 323 8.9 C

Open and cost-effective "KVM-over-IP". BliKVM comes in 4 different models, v1 CM4, v2 PCIe, v3 HAT and v4 Allwinner, based on Raspberry Pi and Allwinner SoC.
wiser

:racehorse: Extremely minimal vmm for linux written in C. Hopefully someday will spin linux-vm for you.
poors-man-ip-kvm

1 41 4.0 C

It's just ridiculous the price for an IP KVM solution. I simply can't get accept that! So, this is a poor man IP KVM that works pretty well, and allows one to go into a remote Bios machine, setup, boot, install OS... everything!! for around 10$ bucks!!
InfluxDB
