I have some OVF/OVA Virtualbox Images to which I need to do some forensics.
It is my understanding that running a Virtualbox VM on UBlue is not (normally) allowed.
Can you recommend some way to look at the image?
Someone suggested to me that is should be possible to extract a disk image and mount it.
Anybody know how to do that?
I have been looking at running the ovftool in a distrobox.
LMAO at all the many things people are being told arenāt āallowedā on ublue that are commonplace elsewhere (custom partitioning, rebasing from other distros, dual-booting from a single disk, and on and on). I donāt have first-hand experience on this one, as I myself am new to the atomic distros, but thereās plenty of chatter about getting libvirt, qemu, and kvm running on Silverblue and Kinoite, both inside and outside of Toolbx and Distrobox. Thatās what I would try first, were I you. GL and please let us know what you end up doing.
The issue with VMs is that people who are coming from Virtualbox or VMware have images stuck in formats that KVM canāt consume.
We can add this which will let people at least convert them.
Well, there is an akmod for virtualbox. Though Iāve never used akmods in my own image builder, so idk how that works
Yeah itās there for custom images if people want to use it. Thereās a few others in the extras section of that repo that are there for custom images. (I only found out about that today!)
