# Virtual Machine
|
|
|
|
## About
|
|
|
|
PBot can interact with a virtual machine to safely execute arbitrary user-submitted
|
|
system commands and code.
|
|
|
|
This document will guide you through installing and configuring a virtual machine
|
|
by using the widely available [libvirt](https://libvirt.org) project tools, such as
|
|
`virt-install`, `virsh`, `virt-manager`, `virt-viewer`, etc.
|
|
|
|
Though there are many, many tutorials and walk-throughs available for these tools,
|
|
this guide will demonstrate the necessary `virt-install` and `virsh` commands to
|
|
configure the virtual machine.
|
|
|
|
You may install a guest Linux distribution of your choice. Any of the recent popular
|
|
Linux distributions should suffice. This guide will use Fedora Rawhide because
|
|
playing around with the latest bleeding-edge software is fun!
|
|
|
|
Then we will show you the necessary commands to configure the Linux guest system
|
|
to be able to communicate with PBot. Commands and code snippets are sent over a
|
|
virtual serial cable. We'll show you how to set that up.
|
|
|
|
We'll also show a few tips and tricks to help secure the virtual machine against
|
|
malicious user-submitted commands.
|
