Dear Colleagues,
There is a hypervisor called bhyve for FreeBSD. It's completely
headless, no graphics, runs as a daemon and provides serial and VNC
consoles.
Can you please advise a similar headless and minimal hypervisor for
Debian or Ubuntu?
Just don't install x-windows or anything that depends on it, like a desktop environment. Servers in datacenters run headless more than 95% of cases. Debian and its derivatives too.
Please don't just say "kvm". I've tried installing different
combinations of "qemu-kvm", "virt-manager" etc and they all depend on
dozens of GUI tools.
A list of packages for the "apt install" command to install a really
minimal hypervisor would be very much appreciated. I'm not really
afraid of writing a couple of text or YAML configuration files to
describe VMs if it helps me avoid the GUI configuration.
