Topic: Isolated VMs in Hyperbola

What is the best way to create an isolated environment in hyperbola?

Say I want to develop a program which depends on dbus and many other things which hyperbola does not support (not as bad as proprietary blobs).

How to create an isolated environment which has it's own files, which is unable to access any files under hyperbola (maybe it should be chrooted), and use an OS like guix or parabola (if needed). It should not be 1-time and I should be able to start it later with the edited files in last session as they were.

I suppose qemu might work, not sure...

Can you give more details? Perhaps, a beginner's guide.

Not sure,

The way i use qemu is similiar to this:

sudo kvm -m (amount of memory for VM, i.e. 2048) -cdrom (name of image, i.e., gnuinos.iso) -boot d name-of.img

To start the image after install do:

sudo kvm -m (amount of memory for VM, i.e. 2048)  name-of.img

HTH

From this page:

Obviously don't use sudo first for each of those commands though...

That's about all I know with qemu.

What you say might be more complex then that though...

Hopefully someone has more knowledge?
