Detect if we are running in a virtual machine

virt-what is a shell script which can be used to detect if the program is running in a virtual machine. The program prints out a list of "facts" about the virtual machine, derived from heuristics. One fact is printed per line. If nothing is printed and the script exits with code 0 (no error), then it can mean either that the program is running on bare-metal or the program is running inside a type of virtual machine which we don't know about or can't detect. Current types of virtualization detected: - alibaba_cloud Alibaba cloud - alibaba_cloud-ebm - aws Amazon Web Services - bhyve FreeBSD hypervisor - docker Docker container - google_cloud Google cloud - hyperv Microsoft Hyper-V - ibm_power-kvm IBM POWER KVM - ibm_power-lpar_shared IBM POWER LPAR (hardware partition) - ibm_power-lpar_dedicated - ibm_systemz-* IBM SystemZ Direct / LPAR / z/VM / KVM - illumos-lx Illumos with Linux syscall emulation - ldoms Oracle VM Server for SPARC Logical Domains - linux_vserver Linux VServer container - lxc Linux LXC container - kvm Linux Kernel Virtual Machine (KVM) - lkvm LKVM / kvmtool - nutanix_ahv Nutanix Acropolis Hypervisor (AHV) - openvz OpenVZ or Virtuozzo - ovirt oVirt node - parallels Parallels Virtual Platform - podman Podman container - powervm_lx86 IBM PowerVM Lx86 Linux/x86 emulator - qemu QEMU (unaccelerated) - redhat Red Hat hypervisor - rhev Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization - uml User-Mode Linux (UML) - virtage Hitachi Virtualization Manager (HVM) Virtage LPAR - virtualbox VirtualBox - virtualpc Microsoft VirtualPC - vmm vmm OpenBSD hypervisor - vmware VMware - xen Xen - xen-dom0 Xen dom0 (privileged domain) - xen-domU Xen domU (paravirtualized guest domain) - xen-hvm Xen guest fully virtualized (HVM)

OpenFactory can boot this operating system in a browser VM, or start a build that includes the native package name from this record.

Versions, suites, and repositories

Each row is recorded package-index metadata for one version, architecture, suite, and repository. Names, URLs, and sizes are source-reported; a link is a potentially mutable retrieval location, not an OpenFactory redistribution claim or proof that OpenFactory retained the artifact bytes.

Checksums and observation dates

For an APT source, signature verification authenticates the repository metadata chain and the Packages index containing this source-reported artifact digest. It does not certify package safety.

1.27-4.fc43 / aarch64Observed Sep 1, 2026 to Sep 1, 2026

Verification status: Metadata observed; artifact bytes were not independently fetched or hashed by this catalog import. The digest below is source-reported.

Source-reported sha256: 48cf01af2e46b15c4b07d4975461367339b0dfb1a4c1f22bd12cc8cc6ac71c9f

After downloading that exact artifact, compare its bytes with the source-reported expected digest:

printf '%s %s\n' '48cf01af2e46b15c4b07d4975461367339b0dfb1a4c1f22bd12cc8cc6ac71c9f' 'virt-what-1.27-4.fc43.aarch64.rpm' | sha256sum --check --strict -

A match establishes equality with the repository metadata value. It does not establish safety or catalog-side artifact retrieval.
