After much fussing with homebrew dependencies including a 6hr llvm 17 install, I got the source of virt-manager and it's installing alpine linux:
virt-manager $ ./virt-install --name='alpine1' --memory 2048 --vcpus 2 --disk size=8 --cdrom $HOME/Downloads/alpine-virt-3.19.1-x86_64.iso --os-variant alpinelinux3.19 WARNING KVM acceleration not available, using 'qemu' WARNING Unable to connect to graphical console: virt-viewer not installed. Please install the 'virt-viewer' package. WARNING No console to launch for the guest, defaulting to --wait -1 Starting install... Allocating 'alpine1.qcow2' | 8.0 GB 00:00:00 Creating domain... | 00:00:00 Domain is still running. Installation may be in progress. Waiting for the installation to complete.
Well that's been going for half an hour but no output. Might see if there's a verbose mode. Meanwhile HN is hyping up https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu - seems like kinda what I'm trying to do with ronin, huh.
The virtualization tutorial I've been following is here: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/virtualization_deployment_and_administration_guide/sect-guest_virtual_machine_installation_overview-creating_guests_with_virt_install
Weirdly that approach doesn't seem to show progress. Ok the warning is that I'm missing virt-viewer, which I guess is a gui app... hope there's a console option. Installing virt-viewer from here: https://github.com/jeffreywildman/homebrew-virt-manager
Finally finally after reading https://www.golinuxcloud.com/virt-install-examples-kvm-virt-commands-linux/ and brew install xorriso, I am getting console output on virt-install
$ ./virt-install --name guest4-rhel7 --memory 2048 --vcpus 2 --disk size=8 --location ~/Downloads/composer-api-e7bc5d14-af20-4a19-b4a8-e98486f575f9-installer.iso --os-variant rhel9.3 --autoconsole text --graphics=none --extra-args console=ttyS0
