+# Using an immutable distribution
+
+If you are on an immutable distribution (Silverblue/Kionite, MicroOS) chances are that
+installing lots and lots of packages on the base system is not advisable.
+
+One way is to use a distrobox for them.
+
+## Prepare the container
+
+To run libvirt/qemu/kvm we need a systemd container and we need a **rootful** container
+to be able to use it, see [this tip](../useful_tips.md#using-init-system-inside-a-distrobox)
+to have a list of compatible images.
+We will use in this example AlmaLinux 8:
+
+```console
+:~> distrobox create --root --init --image quay.io/almalinux/8-init:8 --name libvirtd-container
+:~> distrobox enter --root libvirtd-container
+```
+
+Let it initalize, then we can install all the packages we need:
+
+```console
+:~> distrobox enter --root libvirtd-container
+:~$ # We're now inside the container
+:~$ sudo dnf groupinstall Virtualization Host --allowerasing 
+...
+:~$ sudo systemctl enable --now libvirtd
+```
+
+Now we need to allow host to connect to the guest's libvirt session, we will use
+ssh for it:
+
+```console
+:~$ # We're now inside the container
+:~$ sudo dnf install openssh-server
+:-$ echo "ListenAddress 127.0.0.1
+Port 2222" | sudo tee -a /etc/ssh/sshd_config
+:-$ sudo systemctl enable --now sshd
+:-$ sudo systemctl restart sshd
+:~$ sudo su -
+:~# passwd
+```
+
+Now set a password for root user.
+
+## Connect from the host
+
+You can now install VirtManager, you can either use a normal (non root) distrobox, and export the app
+
+Now you will need to **Add a connection**:

+
+Then set it like this:
+
+![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/598882/208441499-e612868f-d9d1-452c-8bfb-110440e2e891.png)
+
+- Tick the "Use ssh" option
+- username: root
+- hostname: 127.0.0.1:2222
+
+Optionally you can set it to autoconnect.
+
+Now you can simply double click the connection to activate it, you'll be prompted
+with a password, insert the one you used in the `passwd` step previously:

+
+And you should be good to go!
