Install UmbrelOS as a VM (virtual machine)

[aeon]

It’s a bit tricky as the umbrelos-amd64.img.xz image seems not to be compatible with VMs. I got it to work using the umbrelos-amd64-usb-installer.img.xz by following the steps below.

Install umbrelOS on a VPS

I just managed to get to the installation menu of UmbrelOS in a virtual machine. My way: Choose one of the images as boot image (just as a placeholder, they do not seem to work with VMs) Flash umbrelos-amd64-usb-installer.img.xz on a physical usb drive with Balena Inject the usb drive into the VM Boot up the UEFI, it will not boot into the boot image Type ‘exit’ and enter Open boot menu Choose usb drive to boot into
