Open Source Go Virtual Machine Software

Lima launches Linux virtual machines with automatic file sharing and port forwarding (similar to WSL2).

LXD is a next-generation system container and virtual machine manager. It offers a unified user experience around full Linux systems running inside containers or virtual machines. LXD is image based and provides images for a wide number of Linux distributions. It provides flexibility and scalability for various use cases, with support for different storage backends and network types and the option to install on hardware ranging from an individual laptop or cloud instance to a full server rack. When using LXD, you can manage your instances (containers and VMs) with a simple command line tool, directly through the REST API or by using third-party tools and integrations. LXD implements a single REST API for both local and remote access. The LXD project was founded and is currently led by Canonical Ltd with contributions from a range of other companies and individual contributors.

Packer is an open source, automated machine image creation tool. It is designed to create any type of machine image for multiple platforms from a single source configuration. Lightweight yet modern, Packer encourages the use of automated scripts to install and configure the software within your Packer-made images. It is highly performant, able to run on every major operating system and create machine images for several platforms in parallel. Packer supports a great number of platforms out of the box, and support for other platforms can be added through plugins. Any image it creates can also be easily turned into Vagrant boxes.

yxorP is a plug-and-play, flat-file application that does not need Composer, PHP CURL, or databases; these are all optional additions that are fully supported. yxorP is intended to act as a proxy that can edit or update the content of multiple websites using a PHAR (PHP archive) binary version of Guzzle, and managed via a user-friendly Cockpit backend (GUI). The incoming request hostname is used to fetch site-specific requirements from the backend, the target website is then retrieved and modified accordingly. Additionally, the website content can be optionally spun using the article spinning engine that is already embedded into the application. After the website has been modified the result is then stored for a predefined time inside a custom-built, flat-file cache system architectured to be 500x faster than memory-based cache systems such as Memcache and Redis. This is accomplished by bypassing the serialisation and deserialization processes, which resulted a significantly faster
