Up and running快速开始
Bring your own licensed installation media. PlainVM guides the configuration and keeps every file under your control.准备好你有权使用的安装介质,其余配置交给 PlainVM 引导完成,所有文件仍由你掌控。
Select a Linux ISO or kernel, a macOS .ipsw, or your Windows 11 ARM installation media.选择 Linux ISO 或内核、macOS .ipsw,或你的 Windows 11 ARM 安装介质。
Pick CPU, memory, storage, display and an optional shared folder. PlainVM validates the host before it starts.设定 CPU、内存、存储、显示和可选共享目录,PlainVM 会在启动前完成环境检查。
Start, pause, resume, back up and diagnose your VM — without creating an account or sending data to a cloud.启动、暂停、恢复、备份和诊断虚拟机,全程无需账号,也不把数据发送到云端。
Features功能
PlainVM builds directly on Apple’s Virtualization framework, so guests run with hardware acceleration and no kernel extensions. PlainVM 直接构建在 Apple Virtualization 框架之上,无需任何内核扩展即可获得硬件加速。
Boot Linux from a kernel image or an ISO, install macOS from a local .ipsw, or set up Windows 11 on ARM from your own installation media.
支持从内核镜像或 ISO 引导 Linux、使用本地 .ipsw 安装 macOS,或用你自己的安装介质部署 Windows 11 ARM。
Pause a machine mid-task and pick it back up later. On Apple silicon, PlainVM saves the running state on a clean shutdown and restores it on the next launch. 可随时暂停并稍后继续。在 Apple 芯片上,PlainVM 会在正常退出时保存运行状态,下次启动时优先恢复。
Save the state of a running or paused machine under a name and return to it later. A snapshot captures memory and device state — it is not a disk snapshot, so data already written to the virtual disk is not rolled back. 为运行中或已暂停的虚拟机保存命名状态,随时回到该时间点。快照记录的是内存与设备状态,并非磁盘快照,已写入虚拟磁盘的数据不会被回滚。
Share a folder with the guest over Virtio-FS so you can move files without setting up a network share. 通过 Virtio-FS 与客户机共享目录,无需配置网络共享即可传输文件。
Export a machine as a self-contained backup package, share a configuration as JSON, or save a machine as a template to pre-fill the next one. 可将虚拟机导出为自包含的备份包、将配置导出为 JSON,或另存为模板以便快速创建下一台。
PlainVM runs inside the macOS App Sandbox and only touches the disks, images and folders you pick yourself. It makes no network requests of its own. PlainVM 运行在 macOS 应用沙盒中,只访问你亲自选择的磁盘、镜像与目录,自身不发起任何网络请求。
You bring the operating systems. PlainVM does not include, download or distribute any guest operating system. You supply your own Linux ISO or disk image, your own macOS .ipsw restore image, and your own licensed Windows installation media.
客户机系统由你自备。PlainVM 不包含、不下载、也不分发任何客户机操作系统。你需要自行准备 Linux ISO 或磁盘镜像、macOS .ipsw 恢复镜像,以及已获授权的 Windows 安装介质。
Requirements系统要求
| Item项目 | Requirement要求 |
|---|---|
| Operating system操作系统 | macOS 14 or latermacOS 14 或更高版本 |
| Mac model机型 | Apple silicon recommended. macOS guests, saved run state and Windows on ARM require Apple silicon.建议使用 Apple 芯片。macOS 客户机、运行状态保存与 Windows ARM 均需 Apple 芯片。 |
| Memory & CPU内存与 CPU | 1–8 vCPU and 512 MB–32 GB of memory per machine, and never more than the host’s physical memory or core count. PlainVM checks this before creating a machine.每台虚拟机 1–8 个 vCPU、512 MB–32 GB 内存,且不得超过宿主机的物理内存与核心数,PlainVM 会在创建前校验。 |
| Storage存储 | At least 5 GiB free on the target volume, checked before every write-heavy operation. For macOS guests the volume must also be local, writable and support sparse files; network and read-only volumes are blocked.目标卷可用空间不少于 5 GiB,每次写入型操作前都会校验。macOS 客户机还要求该卷为本地、可写且支持稀疏文件;网络卷与只读卷会被阻止。 |
| Networking网络 | NAT networking. Bridged networking requires a restricted Apple entitlement and is not enabled in the standard build.支持 NAT 网络。桥接网络需要 Apple 的受限 entitlement,标准版本未开放。 |
| macOS guestsmacOS 客户机 | Apple silicon only, and at most two macOS virtual machines per host, in line with Apple’s licence terms.仅限 Apple 芯片,并遵循 Apple 授权条款,每台宿主机最多 2 台 macOS 虚拟机。 |
