Virtualization

This is a placeholder page for running Amahi under virtualization.
We are going to have how to install on VMware and Virtual Box to start and then hopefully bring in Qemu and KVM at a later time.
The main thing with virtualization is that you probably want to run the VM software in "NAT" mode, in other words, using a firewall between the host and the VM running Amahi.
If you were to run the VM in "bridge" mode, then DHCP requests and responses would make it out of the VM into your host network, which could cause trouble if that is not what you want.
Do you have any tips about running Amahi on a virtualization product?
Contents
VMWare
The Amahi team routinely runs Amahi on VMWare software, be it EXSi or Workstation (PC) or Fusion (Mac).
VirtualBox
Many people use VirtualBox to run Amahi on it.
Proxmox
Proxmox is also known to work well when running Amahi on it. The team routinely tests Amahi before release on a Proxmox server.
XenServer
XenServer by Citix is a powerful opensource hypervisor that can work well. Citrix does limit many of their features to the command line when using the opensource, free version. However, the management console is excellent and the product works on a wide variety of hardware. (Install Guide)
