[1] (December 2019 v1.0[2]) allows to create and manage Ubuntu virtual machine instances on Linux, Windows and macOS. It uses KVM on Linux, Hyper-V on Windows and HyperKit on macOS, supported since July 2018[3], to run the VM with minimal overhead. Since
August 2020 (v1.4) it also included bridged networking support[4].
- Binaries:
multipass (command), multipass-gui
- Linux installation:
sudo snap install multipass
- MacOS Installation:
brew install --cask multipass
Usage[edit]
multipass list
multipass connect
multipass start VM_NAME
multipass stop VM_NAME
multipass launch --name YourName
[5] (to create a new one vm)multipass launch --cpus 2 --name MY_NEW_VM
multipass launch --cpus 2 --mem 8G --name MY_NEW_VM
multipass launch --cpus 2 --mem 8G --disk 25G --name MY_NEW_VM && multipass connect MY_NEW_VM
multipass shell VM_NAME
multipass find
multipass info VM_INSTANCE_NAME
multipass delete VM_INSTANCE_NAME
multipass purge
multipass mount
multipass transfer
(copy files between host and instances)multipass set
multipass aliases
(Oct 2021)multipass help
macOS[edit]
- macOS files location:
/var/root/Library/Application Support/multipassd/vault/instances/
- Configuration file:
/var/root/Library/Application Support/multipassd/multipassd-vm-instances.json
Setting MULTIPASS_STORAGE
system variable will change where data/images are stored since multipass 1.5.0 (October 2020)
Ubuntu[edit]
/var/snap/multipass/common/data/multipassd/vault/instances/
Logs[edit]
Know limitations[edit]
