The target of this HowTo is to create a KVM host enviroment on a hardware using workstation operating system. The default network created after this procedure uses NAT (Network Address Translation). VMs get private IP addresses from the 192.168.122.0/24 subnet and can reach the internet through the host, but are not directly reachable from the network.

Detect virtualization flags from CPU

lscpu | grep Virtualization

apt-get install qemu-kvm libvirt-daemon-system libvirt-clients -y

lsmod | grep kvm

usermod -aG libvirt $USER

To create/remove/modify virtual machines, Cockpit is recommended.
