# Virtual Gamming Machine
**GPU Passthroung for Gaming or Train models inside a virtual machine with GPU passthrough (WIP)**
This project intends to create, modify and run virtual machines with GPU passthrough.
Based on the tutorial: [PCI_passthrough_via_OVMF](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PCI_passthrough_via_OVMF)
## Attention
**Early development state project (WIP).**
Only Arch-Linux is supported currently. Ubuntu support is in development state.
## TODO List
* Allow use of non root user launch the virtual machine.
* Add ubuntu support.
* Enable dhcp on the bridge network.
* Add [looking glass](https://github.com/gnif/LookingGlass) host installation support.
## Prepare the machine
Before you install/use this software:
* Must have arch-linux installed
* You need to enable the virtualization tecnologies on your bios. ("VT-d" or "AMD-Vi" or Virtualization technology)
* You need to enable the internal graphics and disable gpu startup on your bios.
* You need to enable IOMMU using kernel parameters (modifying your boot loader menu or it's configuration file).
Set intel_iommu=on (for intel processors) or amd_iommu=on (for amd ones).
You can add iommu=pt to prevent linux from touching devices that cant pass through.
More information here [Edit kernel parameters](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_parameters)
* You need to have two monitor or a monitor with 2 inputs (for the virtual machine and the host).
* You need to isolate the GPUs you want to passthrough to prevent from the host OS using them. [How to](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PCI_passthrough_via_OVMF#Isolating_the_GPU)
## Installation
```bash
pip3 install git+ssh://[email protected]/rodjjo/kvm-gpu-trainer.git --upgrade
```
## Show help
```bash
vm-trainer --help
# or vm-trainer --help
```
## Install virtualization tools
```bash
vm-trainer depman-install-build-tools
vm-trainer depman-install-git
vm-trainer depman-install-qemu
```
## Install scream
For more informations about scream [click-here](https://github.com/duncanthrax/scream)
```bash
vm-trainer depman-install-scream
```
## Create the virtual machine
```bash
vm-trainer machine-create --name windows --cpus 4 --disk-size 200000 --memory 8192
```
## Show host available gpus
```bash
vm-trainer show-gpus
```
## Select the gpu for a machine
```bash
vm-trainer machine-set-gpus --name windows
```
## Select the keyboard
You can press both CTRL keys to switch between the virtual machine and the host
```bash
vm-trainer machine-select-keyboard --name windows
```
## Select the mouse
```bash
vm-trainer machine-select-mouse --name windows
```
## Configure the network (internet)
You have to define the physical network adapter connected to the internet.
```bash
vm-trainer network-show-physical
# example of outputs:
# eth0
# enp6s0
vm-trainer settings-set-network-interface --name eth0
```
## Run the virtual machine with an iso file to setup the operating system
```bash
vm-trainer machine-run-with-iso --name windows --iso location/to/my/original-windows10-disk.iso
```
## Run the virtual machine without an iso attached to it
After you installed the operating system
```bash
vm-trainer machine-run --name windows
```
## Network configuration
Currently, this project create a bridge network with the ip 192.168.66.1 (you can change this).
You need to configure the network in the virtual machine to use static ip configuration:
```text
IP: 192.168.66.2
Gateway: 192.168.66.1
DNS: 8.8.8.8
```
DHCP (automatic ip configuration) support is at the TODO list.
## Configuring the audio inside the virtual machine
