perlstalker/docker-virt-manager repository overview

A simple container to run virt-manager⁠ to manage VMs running under libvirt.

This is designed for use via X11 on a local desktop. It doesn't do any sort of SSH or VNC console.

For this to work, you may need to run xhost + on your docker host (desktop) to allow X11 to connect and you need to map /tmp/.X11-unix as a volume in the container as described in this blog post⁠.

docker run -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -e DISPLAY=unix$DISPLAY perlstalker/docker-virt-manager
