+
+################
+Image Management
+################
+
+The VyOS image-based installation is implemented by creating a directory for
+each image on the storage device selected during the install process.
+
+The directory structure of the boot device:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+  /
+  /boot
+  /boot/grub
+  /boot/1.2.0-rolling+201810021347
+
+The image directory contains the system kernel, a compressed image of the root
+filesystem for the OS, and a directory for persistent storage, such as
+configuration. On boot, the system will extract the OS image into memory and
+mount the appropriate live-rw sub-directories to provide persistent storage
+system configuration.
+
+This process allows for a system to always boot to a known working state, as
+the OS image is fixed and non-persistent. It also allows for multiple releases
+of VyOS to be installed on the same storage device. The image can be selected
+manually at boot if needed, but the system will otherwise boot the image
+configured to be the default.
+
+.. opcmd:: show system image
+
+   List all available system images which can be bootet on the current system.
+
+   .. code-block:: none
+
+     vyos@vyos:~$ show system image
+     The system currently has the following image(s) installed:
+
+        1: 1.2.0-rolling+201810021347 (default boot)
+        2: 1.2.0-rolling+201810021217
+        3: 1.2.0-rolling+201809252218
+
+
+.. opcmd:: delete system image [image-name]
+
+   Delete no longer needed images from the system. You can specify an optional
+   image name to delete, the image name can be retrieved via a list of available
+   images can be shown using the :opcmd:`show system image`.
+
+   .. code-block:: none
+
+      vyos@vyos:~$ delete system image
+      The following image(s) can be deleted:
+
+         1: 1.3-rolling-201912181733 (default boot) (running image)
+         2: 1.3-rolling-201912180242

+
+System rollback
+===============
+
+If you need to rollback to a previous image, you can easily do so. First
+check the available images through the :opcmd:`show system image`
+command and then select your image with the following command:
+
+.. opcmd:: set system image default-boot [image-name]
+
+   Select the default boot image which will be started on the next boot
+   of the system.
+
+Then reboot the system.
+
+.. note:: VyOS automatically associates the configuration to the image,
+   so you don't need to worry about that. Each image has a unique copy
+   of its configuration.
+
+If you have access to the console, there is a another way to select
+your booting image: reboot and use the GRUB menu at startup.

+############
+Installation
+############
+
+VyOS installation requires to download a VyOS .iso file. That file is
+a live install image that lets you boot a live VyOS. From that live
+system you can proceed to the permanent installation on a hard drive or
+any other type of storage.
+
+
+Hardware requirements
+=====================
+
+The minimum system requirements are 512 MiB RAM and 2 GiB storage.
+Depending on your use you might need additional RAM and CPU resources e.g.
+when having multiple BGP full tables in your system.
+
+Download
+========
+
+Registered Subscribers
+----------------------
+
+Registered subscribers can log into https://support.vyos.io/ to have access to
+a variety of different downloads via the "Downloads" link. These downloads
+include LTS (Long-Term-Support) and associated hot-fix releases, early public
+access releases, pre-built VM images, as well as device specific installation
+ISOs.
+
+.. figure:: /_static/images/vyos-downloads.png
+
+Building from source
+----------------------
+
+Non-subscribers can always get the LTS release by building it from source.
+Instruction can be found in the :ref:`build` section of this manual. VyOS
+source code repository is available for everyone at
+https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build.
+
+Rolling Release
+---------------
+
+Everyone can download bleeding-edge VyOS rolling images from:
+https://downloads.vyos.io/
+
+.. note:: Rolling releases contain all the latest enhancements and fixes. This
+   means that there will be new bugs of course. If you think you hit a bug
+   please follow the guide at :ref:`bug_report`. To improve VyOS we depend on
+   your feedback!
+
+The following link will always fetch the most recent VyOS build for AMD64
+systems from the current branch:
+https://downloads.vyos.io/rolling/current/amd64/vyos-rolling-latest.iso
+
+
+Download Verification
+---------------------
+
+LTS images are signed by VyOS lead package-maintainer private key. With
+the official public key, the authenticity of the package can be
+verified. :abbr:`GPG (GNU Privacy Guard)` is used for verification.
+
+.. note:: This subsection only applies e applies to LTS images, for
+   Rolling images please jump to :ref:`live_installation`.
+
+Preparing for the verification
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+First, install GPG or another OpenPGP implementation. On most GNU+Linux
+distributions it is installed by default as package managers use it to
+verify package signatures. If not pre-installed, it will need to be
+downloaded and installed.
+
+The official VyOS public key can be retrieved in a number of ways. Skip
+to :ref:`gpg-verification` if the key is already present.
+
+It can be retrieved directly from a key server:
+
+``gpg --recv-keys FD220285A0FE6D7E``
+
+Or it can be accessed via a web browser:
+
+https://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xFD220285A0FE6D7E
+
+Or from the following block:

+Live installation
+=================
+
+.. note:: A permanent VyOS installation always requires to go first
+   through a live installation.
+
+VyOS, as other GNU+Linux distributions, can be tasted without installing
+it in your hard drive. **With your downloaded VyOS .iso file you can
+create a bootable USB drive that will let you boot into a fully
+functional VyOS system**. Once you have tested it, you can either decide
+to begin a :ref:`permanent_installation` in your hard drive or power
+your system off, remove the USB drive, and leave everythng as it was.
+
+
+If you have a GNU+Linux system, you can create your VyOS bootable USB
+stick with with the ``dd`` command:
+
+ 1. Open your terminal emulator.
+
+ 2. Find out the device name of your USB drive (you can use the ``lsblk``
+    command)
+
+ 3. Unmount the USB drive. Replace X in the example below with the
+    letter of your device and keep the asterisk (wildcard) to unmount
+    all partitions.
+
+ .. code-block:: none
+
+  $ umount /dev/sdX*
+
+ 4. Write the image (your VyOS .iso file) to the USB drive.
+    Note that here you want to use the device name (e.g. /dev/sdb), not
+    the partition name (e.g. /dev/sdb1).
+
+  **Warning**: This will destroy all data on the USB drive!
+
+ .. code-block:: none
+
+   # dd if=/path/to/vyos.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=8M; sync
+
+ 5. Wait until you get the outcome (bytes copied). Be patient, in some
+    computers it might take more than one minute.
+
+ 6. Once ``dd`` has finished, pull the USB drive out and plug it into
+    the powered-off computer where you want to install (or test) VyOS.
+
+ 7. Power the computer on, making sure it boots from the USB drive (you
+    might need to select booting device or change booting settings).
+
+ 8. Once VyOS is completely loaded, enter the default credentials
+    (login: vyos, password: vyos).
+
+
+If you find difficulties with this method, prefer to use a GUI program,
+or have a different operating system, there are other programs you can
+use to create a bootable USB drive, like balenaEtcher_ (for GNU/Linux,
+macOS and Windows), Rufus_ (for Windows) and `many others`_. You can
+follow their instructions to create a bootable USB drive from an .iso
+file.
+
+.. hint:: The default username and password for the live system is *vyos*.
+
+
+.. _permanent_installation:
+
+Permanent installation
+======================
+
+.. note:: Before a permanent installation, VyOS requires a :ref:`live_installation`.
+
+Unlike general purpose Linux distributions, VyOS uses "image installation" that
+mimics the user experience of traditional hardware routers and allows keeping
+multiple VyOS versions installed simultaneously. This makes it possible to
+switch to a previous version if something breaks or miss-behaves after an image
+upgrade.
+
+Every version is contained in its own squashfs image that is mounted in a union
+filesystem together with a directory for mutable data such as configurations,
+keys, or custom scripts.
+
+.. note:: Older versions (prior to VyOS 1.1) used to support non-image
+   installation (``install system`` command). Support for this has been removed
+   from VyOS 1.2 and newer releases. Older releases can still be upgraded via
+   the general ``add system image <image_path>`` upgrade command (consult
+   :ref:`image-mgmt` for further information).
+
+
+In order to proceed with a permanent installation:
+
+ 1. Log into the VyOS live system (use the default credentials: vyos,
+    vyos)
+
+ 2. Run the ``install image`` command and follow the wizard:
+
+ .. code-block:: none
+
+   vyos@vyos:~$ install image
+   Welcome to the VyOS install program.  This script
+   will walk you through the process of installing the
+   VyOS image to a local hard drive.
+   Would you like to continue? (Yes/No) [Yes]: Yes
+   Probing drives: OK
+   Looking for pre-existing RAID groups...none found.
+   The VyOS image will require a minimum 2000MB root.
+   Would you like me to try to partition a drive automatically
+   or would you rather partition it manually with parted?  If
+   you have already setup your partitions, you may skip this step
+
+   Partition (Auto/Parted/Skip) [Auto]:
+
+   I found the following drives on your system:
+    sda    4294MB
+
+   Install the image on? [sda]:
+
+   This will destroy all data on /dev/sda.
+   Continue? (Yes/No) [No]: Yes

+
+   Which drive should GRUB modify the boot partition on? [sda]:
+
+   Setting up grub: OK
+   Done!
+
+
+ 3. After the installation is complete, remove the live USB stick or
+    CD.
+
+ 4. Reboot the system.
+
+ .. code-block:: none
+
+  vyos@vyos:~$ reboot
+  Proceed with reboot? (Yes/No) [No] Yes
+
+ You will boot now into a permanent VyOS system.
+
+
+PXE Boot
+========
+
+VyOS can also be installed through PXE. This is a more complex
+installation method which allows deploying VyOS through the network.
+
+**Requirements**
+
+* Clients (where VyOS is to be installed) with a PXE-enabled NIC
+* :ref:`dhcp-server`
+* :ref:`tftp-server`
+* Webserver (HTTP) - optional, but we will use it to speed up installation
+* VyOS ISO image to be installed (do not use images prior to VyOS 1.2.3)
+* Files *pxelinux.0* and *ldlinux.c32* `from the Syslinux distribution <https://kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/>`_
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+Step 1: DHCP
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Configure a DHCP server to provide the client with:
+
+* An IP address
+* The TFTP server address (DHCP option 66). Sometimes referred as *boot server*
+* The *bootfile name* (DHCP option 67), which is *pxelinux.0*
+
+In this example we configured an existent VyOS as the DHCP server:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+  vyos@vyos# show service dhcp-server
+   shared-network-name mydhcp {
+       subnet 192.168.1.0/24 {
+           bootfile-name pxelinux.0
+           bootfile-server 192.168.1.50
+           default-router 192.168.1.50
+           range 0 {
+               start 192.168.1.70
+               stop 192.168.1.100
+           }
+       }
+   }
+
+.. _install_from_tftp:
+
+Step 2: TFTP
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Configure a TFTP server so that it serves the following:
+
+* The *pxelinux.0* file from the Syslinux distribution
+* The *ldlinux.c32* file from the Syslinux distribution
+* The kernel of the VyOS software you want to deploy. That is the
+  *vmlinuz* file inside the */live* directory of the extracted
+  contents from the ISO file.
+* The initial ramdisk of the VyOS ISO you want to deploy. That is the
+  *initrd.img* file inside the */live* directory of the extracted
+  contents from the ISO file. Do not use an empty (0 bytes) initrd.img
+  file you might find, the correct file may have a longer name.
+* A directory named pxelinux.cfg which must contain the configuration
+  file. We will use the configuration_ file shown below, which we named
+  default_.
+
+.. _configuration: https://wiki.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Config
+.. _default: https://wiki.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=PXELINUX#Configuration
+
+In the example we configured our existent VyOS as the TFTP server too:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+  vyos@vyos# show service tftp-server
+   directory /config/tftpboot
+   listen-address 192.168.1.50
+
+Example of the contents of the TFTP server:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+  vyos@vyos# ls -hal /config/tftpboot/
+  total 29M
+  drwxr-sr-x 3 tftp tftp      4.0K Oct 14 00:23 .
+  drwxrwsr-x 9 root vyattacfg 4.0K Oct 18 00:05 ..
+  -r--r--r-- 1 root vyattacfg  25M Oct 13 23:24 initrd.img-4.19.54-amd64-vyos
+  -rwxr-xr-x 1 root vyattacfg 120K Oct 13 23:44 ldlinux.c32
+  -rw-r--r-- 1 root vyattacfg  46K Oct 13 23:24 pxelinux.0
+  drwxr-xr-x 2 root vyattacfg 4.0K Oct 14 01:10 pxelinux.cfg
+  -r--r--r-- 1 root vyattacfg 3.7M Oct 13 23:24 vmlinuz
+
+  vyos@vyos# ls -hal /config/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg
+  total 12K
+  drwxr-xr-x 2 root vyattacfg 4.0K Oct 14 01:10 .
+  drwxr-sr-x 3 tftp tftp      4.0K Oct 14 00:23 ..
+  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root       191 Oct 14 01:10 default
+
+Example of simple (no menu) configuration file:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+  vyos@vyos# cat /config/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default
+  DEFAULT VyOS123
+
+  LABEL VyOS123
+   KERNEL vmlinuz
+   APPEND initrd=initrd.img-4.19.54-amd64-vyos boot=live nopersistence noautologin nonetworking fetch=http://address:8000/filesystem.squashfs
+
+Step 3: HTTP
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+We also need to provide the *filesystem.squashfs* file. That is a heavy
+file and TFTP is slow, so you could send it through HTTP to speed up the
+transfer. That is how it is done in our example, you can find that in
+the configuration file above.
+
+**First** run a web server - you can use a simple one like
+`Python's SimpleHTTPServer`_ and start serving the `filesystem.squashfs`
+file. The file can be found inside the `/live` directory of the
+extracted contents of the ISO file.
+
+**Second**, edit the configuration file of the :ref:`install_from_tftp`
+so that it shows the correct URL at
+``fetch=http://<address_of_your_HTTP_server>/filesystem.squashfs``.
+
+.. note:: Do not change the name of the *filesystem.squashfs* file. If 
+   you are working with different versions, you can create different
+   directories instead.
+
+And **third**, restart the TFTP service. If you are using VyOS as your
+TFTP Server, you can restart the service with
+``sudo service tftpd-hpa restart``.
+
+.. note::  Make sure the available directories and files in both TFTP
+   and HTTP server have the right permissions to be accessed from the
+   booting clients.
+
+.. _`Python's SimpleHTTPServer`: https://docs.python.org/2/library/simplehttpserver.html
+
+Client Boot
+-----------
+
+Finally, turn on your PXE-enabled client or clients. They will
+automatically get an IP address from the DHCP server and start booting
+into VyOS live from the files automatically taken from the TFTP and HTTP
+servers.
+
+Once finished you will be able to proceed with the ``install image``
+command as in a regular VyOS installation.
+
+
+
+Known Issues
+============
+
+This is a list of known issues that can arise during installation.
+
+Black screen on install
+-----------------------
+
+GRUB attempts to redirect all output to a serial port for ease of installation on headless hosts.
+This appears to cause an hard lockup on some hardware that lacks a serial port, with the result being a
+black screen after selecting the `Live system` option from the installation image.
+
+The workaround is to type `e` when the boot menu appears and edit the GRUB boot options.  Specifically, remove the:
+
+`console=ttyS0,115200`
+
+option, and type CTRL-X to boot.
+
+Installation can then continue as outlined above.

+
+Migrate from Vyatta Core
+========================
+
+VyOS 1.x line aims to preserve backward compatibility and provide a safe
+upgrade path for existing Vyatta Core users. You may think of VyOS 1.0.0 as
+VC7.0.
+
+Vyatta release compatibility
+----------------------------
+
+Vyatta Core releases from 6.5 to 6.6 should be 100% compatible.
+
+Vyatta Core 6.4 and earlier may have incompatibilities. In Vyatta 6.5 the
+"modify" firewall was removed and replaced with the ``set policy route``
+command family, old configs can not be automatically converted. You will have
+to adapt it to post-6.5 Vyatta syntax manually.
+
+.. note:: Also, in Vyatta Core 6.5 remote access VPN interfaces have been
+   renamed from ``pppX``  to ``l2tpX`` and ``pptpX``. If you are using
+   zone based firewalling in Vyatta Core pre-6.5 versions, make sure to change
+   interface names in rules for remote access VPN.
+
+Upgrade procedure
+-----------------
+
+You just use ``add system image``, as if it was a new VC release (see
+:ref:`update_vyos` for additional information). The only thing you want to do
+is to verify the new images digital signature. You will have to add the public
+key manually once as it is not shipped the first time.

+
+Update VyOS
+===========
+
+New system images can be added using the :opcmd:`add system image`
+command. The command will extract the chosen image and will prompt you
+to use the current system configuration and SSH security keys, allowing
+for the new image to boot using the current configuration.
+
+.. note:: Only LTS releases are PGP-signed.
+
+.. opcmd:: add system image <url | path> [vrf name] [username user [password pass]]
+
+   Use this command to install a new system image. You can reach the
+   image from the web (http://, https://) or from your local system,
+   e.g.  /tmp/vyos-1.2.3-amd64.iso.
+
+   The `add system image` command also supports installing new versions
+   of VyOS through an optional given VRF. Also if URL in question requires
+   authentication, you can specify an optional username and password via
+   the commandline which will be passed as "Basic-Auth" to the server.
+
+If there is not enough **free disk space available**, the installation
+will be canceled. To delete images use the :opcmd:`delete system image`
+command.
+
+VyOS configuration is associated to each image, and **each image has a
+unique copy of its configuration**. This is different than a traditional
+network router where the configuration is shared across all images.
+
+.. note:: If you have any personal files, like some scripts you created,
+   and you don't want them to be lost during the upgrade, make sure
+   those files are stored in ``/config`` as this directory is always copied
+   to newer installed images.
+
+You can access files from a previous installation and copy them to your
+current image if they were located in the ``/config`` directory. This
+can be done using the :opcmd:`copy` command. So, for instance, in order
+to copy ``/config/config.boot`` from VyOS 1.2.1 image, you would use the
+following command:
+
+.. code::
+
+   copy file 1.2.1://config/config.boot to /tmp/config.boot.1.2.1

+Running on GNS3
+###############
+
+Sometimes you may want to test VyOS in a lab environment.
+`GNS3 <http://www.gns3.com>`__ is a network emulation software you
+might use for it.
+
+This guide will provide the necessary steps for installing
+and setting up VyOS on GNS3.
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+The following items are required:
+
+* A VyOS installation image (.iso file).
+  `Here <https://docs.vyos.io/en/latest/install.html#download>`__ you
+  can find how to get it.
+
+* A working GNS3 installation. For further information see the
+  `GNS3 documentation <https://docs.gns3.com/>`__.
+
+.. _vm_setup:
+
+VM setup
+--------
+
+First, a virtual machine (VM) for the VyOS installation must be created
+in GNS3.
+
+Go to the GNS3 **File** menu, click **New template** and choose select
+**Manually create a new Template**.
+
+.. figure:: /_static/images/gns3-01.png
+
+Select **Quemu VMs** and then click on the ``New`` button.
+
+.. figure:: /_static/images/gns3-02.png
+
+Write a name for your VM, for instance "VyOS", and click ``Next``.
+
+.. figure:: /_static/images/gns3-03.png
+
+Select **qemu-system-x86_64** as Quemu binary, then **512MB** of RAM
+and click ``Next``.
+
+.. figure:: /_static/images/gns3-04.png
+
+Select **telnet** as your console type and click ``Next``.
+
+.. figure:: /_static/images/gns3-05.png
+
+Select **New image** for the base disk image of your VM and click
+``Create``.
+
+.. figure:: /_static/images/gns3-06.png
+
+Use the defaults in the **Binary and format** window and click
+``Next``.
+
+.. figure:: /_static/images/gns3-07.png
+
+Use the defaults in the **Qcow2 options** window and click ``Next``.
+
+.. figure:: /_static/images/gns3-08.png
+
+Set the disk size to 2000 MiB, and click ``Finish`` to end the **Quemu
+image creator**.
+
+.. figure:: /_static/images/gns3-09.png
+
+Click ``Finish`` to end the **New QEMU VM template** wizard.
+
+.. figure:: /_static/images/gns3-10.png
+
+Now the VM settings have to be edited.
+
+Being again at the **Preferences** window, having **Qemu VMs**
+selected and having our new VM selected, click the ``Edit`` button.
+
+.. figure:: /_static/images/gns3-11.png
+
+In the **General settings** tab of your **QEMU VM template
+configuration**, do the following:
+
+* Click on the ``Browse...`` button to choose the **Symbol** you want to
+  have representing your VM.
+* In **Category** select in which group you want to find your VM.
+* Set the **Boot priority** to **CD/DVD-ROM**.
+
+.. figure:: /_static/images/gns3-12.png
+
+At the **HDD** tab, change the Disk interface to **sata** to speed up
+the boot process.
+
+.. figure:: /_static/images/gns3-13.png
+
+At the **CD/DVD** tab click on ``Browse...`` and locate the VyOS image
+you want to install.
+
+.. figure:: /_static/images/gns3-14.png
+
+.. note:: You probably will want to accept to copy the .iso file to your
+   default image directory when you are asked.
+
+In the **Network** tab,  set **0** as the number of adapters, set the
+**Name format** to **eth{0}** and the **Type** to **Paravirtualized
+Network I/O (virtio-net-pci)**.
+
+.. figure:: /_static/images/gns3-15.png
+
+In the **Advanced** tab, unmark the checkbox **Use as a linked base
+VM** and click ``OK``, which will save and close the **QEMU VM template
+configuration** window.
+
+.. figure:: /_static/images/gns3-16.png

+
+.. figure:: /_static/images/gns3-17.png
+
+
+.. _vyos_installation:
+
+VyOS installation
+-----------------
+
+* Create a new project.
+* Drag the newly created VyOS VM into it.
+* Start the VM.
+* Open a console.
+  The console should show the system booting. It will ask for the login
+  credentials, you are at the VyOS live system.
+* `Install VyOS <https://docs.vyos.io/en/latest/install.html#install>`__
+  as normal (that is, using the ``install image`` command).
+
+* After a successful installation, shutdown the VM with the ``poweroff``
+  command.
+
+* **Delete the VM** from the GNS3 project.
+
+The *VyOS-hda.qcow2* file now contains a working VyOS image and can be
+used as a template. But it still needs some fixes before we can deploy
+VyOS in our labs.
+
+.. _vyos_vm_configuration:
+
+VyOS VM configuration
+---------------------
+
+To turn the template into a working VyOS machine, further steps are
+necessary as outlined below:
+
+**General settings** tab: Set the boot priority to **HDD**
+
+.. figure:: /_static/images/gns3-20.png
+  
+**CD/DVD** tab: Unmount the installation image file by clearing the
+**Image** entry field.
+
+.. figure:: /_static/images/gns3-21.png
+
+Set the number of required network adapters, for example **4**.
+
+.. figure:: /_static/images/gns3-215.png
+
+**Advanced** settings tab: Mark the checkbox **Use as a linked
+base VM** and click ``OK`` to save the changes.
+
+.. figure:: /_static/images/gns3-22.png
+
+The VyOS VM is now ready to be deployed.

+***************************
+Running on Libvirt Qemu/KVM
+***************************
+
+Libvirt is an open-source API, daemon and management tool for managing platform virtualization.
+There are several ways to deploy VyOS on libvirt kvm. Use Virt-manager and native CLI.
+In an example we will be use use 4 gigabytes of memory, 2 cores CPU and default network virbr0.
+
+CLI
+===
+
+Deploy from ISO
+---------------
+
+Create VM name ``vyos_r1``. You must specify the path to the ``ISO`` image, the disk ``qcow2`` will be created automatically.
+The ``default`` network is the virtual network (type Virtio) created by the hypervisor with NAT.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+  $ virt-install -n vyos_r1 \
+    --ram 4096 \
+    --vcpus 2 \

+    --virt-type kvm \
+    --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/vyos_r1.qcow2,bus=virtio,size=8 \
+    --noautoconsole
+
+Connect to VM  with command ``virsh console vyos_r1``
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+  $ virsh console vyos_r1
+
+  Connected to domain vyos_r1
+  Escape character is ^]
+
+  vyos login: vyos
+  Password:
+
+  vyos@vyos:~$ install image
+
+After installation - exit from the console using the key combination ``Ctrl + ]`` and reboot the system.
+
+Deploy from qcow2
+-----------------
+The convenience of using :abbr:`KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine)` images is that they don't need to be installed.
+Download predefined VyOS.qcow2 image for ``KVM``
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+  curl --url link_to_vyos_kvm.qcow2 --output /var/lib/libvirt/images/vyos_kvm.qcow2
+
+Create VM with ``import`` qcow2 disk option.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+  $ virt-install -n vyos_r2 \
+     --ram 4096 \
+     --vcpus 2 \
+     --os-type linux \
+     --os-variant debian10 \
+     --network network=default \
+     --graphics vnc \
+     --hvm \
+     --virt-type kvm \
+     --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/vyos_kvm.qcow2,bus=virtio \
+     --import \
+     --noautoconsole
+

+
+  $ virsh console vyos_r2
+
+  Connected to domain vyos_r2
+  Escape character is ^]
+
+  vyos login: vyos
+  Password:
+
+  vyos@vyos:~$
+
+The system is fully operational.
+
+Virt-manager
+============
+The virt-manager application is a desktop user interface for managing virtual machines through libvirt.
+On the linux open :abbr:`VMM (Virtual Machine Manager)`.
+
+Deploy from ISO
+---------------
+
+1. Open :abbr:`VMM (Virtual Machine Manager)` and Create a new :abbr:`VM (Virtual Machine)`
+
+2. Choose ``Local install media`` (ISO)
+
+.. figure:: /_static/images/virt-libvirt-01.png
+
+3. Choose path to iso vyos.iso. Operating System can be any Debian based.
+
+.. figure:: /_static/images/virt-libvirt-02.png
+
+4. Choose Memory and CPU
+
+.. figure:: /_static/images/virt-libvirt-03.png
+
+5. Disk size
+
+.. figure:: /_static/images/virt-libvirt-04.png
+
+6. Name of VM and network selection
+
+.. figure:: /_static/images/virt-libvirt-05.png
+
+7. Then you will be taken to the console.
+
+.. figure:: /_static/images/virt-libvirt-06.png
+
+Deploy from qcow2
+-----------------
+
+Download predefined VyOS.qcow2 image for ``KVM``
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+  curl --url link_to_vyos_kvm.qcow2 --output /var/lib/libvirt/images/vyos_kvm.qcow2
+
+
+1. Open :abbr:`VMM (Virtual Machine Manager)` and Create a new :abbr:`VM (Virtual Machine)`
+
+2. Choose ``Import existing disk`` image
+
+.. figure:: /_static/images/virt-libvirt-qc-01.png
+
+3. Choose the path to the image ``vyos_kvm.qcow2`` that was previously downloaded . Operation System can be any Debian based.
+
+.. figure:: /_static/images/virt-libvirt-qc-02.png
+
+4. Choose Memory and CPU
+
+.. figure:: /_static/images/virt-libvirt-03.png
+
+5. Name of VM and network selection
+
+.. figure:: /_static/images/virt-libvirt-05.png

+

+.ova files are available for supporting users, and a VyOS can also be stood up using a generic Linux instance, and attaching the bootable ISO file and installing from the ISO 

+using the normal process around `install image`.

+

+.. NOTE:: There have been previous documented issues with GRE/IPSEC tunneling using the E1000 adapter on the VyOS guest, and use of the VMXNET3 has been advised.

+

+Memory Contention Considerations

+--------------------------------

+When the underlying ESXi host is approaching ~92% memory utilisation it will start the balloon process in s a 'soft' state to start reclaiming memory from guest operating systems. 

+This causes an artificial pressure using the vmmemctl driver on memory usage on the virtual guest. As VyOS by default does not have a swap file, this vmmemctl pressure is unable to

+force processes to move in memory data to the paging file, and blindly consumes memory forcing the virtual guest into a low memory state with no way to escape. The balloon can expand to 65% of 

+guest allocated memory, so a VyOS guest running >35% of memory usage, can encounter an out of memory situation, and trigger the kernel oom_kill process. At this point a weighted 

+lottery favouring memory hungry processes will be run with the unlucky winner being terminated by the kernel.

+

+It is advised that VyOS routers are configured in a resource group with adequate memory reservations so that ballooning is not inflicted on virtual VyOS guests.

+VyOS 1.2 (rolling)
+------------------
+
+Installing the rolling release on an APU2 board does not require any change
+on the serial console from your host side as :vytask:`T1327` was successfully
+implemented.
+
+Simply proceed with a regular image installation as described in

+Qotom Q355G4
+============
+
+The install on this Q355G4 box is pretty much plug and play. The port numbering
+the OS does might differ from the labels on the outside, but the UEFI firmware
+has a port blink test built in with MAC addresses so you can very quickly
+identify which is which. MAC labels are on the inside as well, and this test
+can be done from VyOS or plain Linux too. Default settings in the UEFI will
+make it boot, but depending on your installation wishes (i.e. storage type,
+boot type, console type) you might want to adjust them. This Qotom company
+seems to be the real OEM/ODM for many other relabelling companies like
+Protectli.
+
+Hardware
+--------
+
+There are a number of other options, but they all seem to be close to Intel
+reference designs, with added features like more serial ports, more network
+interfaces and the likes. Because they don't deviate too much from standard
+designs all the hardware is well-supported by mainline. It accepts one LPDDR3
+SO-DIMM, but chances are that if you need more than that, you'll also want
+something even beefier than an i5. There are options for antenna holes, and SIM
+slots, so you could in theory add an LTE/Cell modem (not tested so far).
+
+The chassis is a U-shaped alu extrusion with removable I/O plates and removable
+bottom plate. Cooling is completely passive with a heatsink on the SoC with
+internal and external fins, a flat interface surface, thermal pad on top of
+that, which then directly attaches to the chassis, which has fins as well. It
+comes with mounting hardware and rubber feet, so you could place it like a
+desktop model or mount it on a VESA mount, or even wall mount it with the
+provided mounting plate. The closing plate doubles as internal 2.5" mounting
+place for an HDD or SSD, and comes supplied with a small SATA cable and SATA
+power cable.
+
+Power supply is a 12VDC barrel jack, and included switching power supply, which
+is why SATA power regulation is on-board. Internally it has a NUC-board-style
+on-board 12V input header as well, the molex locking style.
+
+There are WDT options and auto-boot on power enable, which is great for remote
+setups. Firmware is reasonably secure (no backdoors found, BootGuard is enabled
+in enforcement mode, which is good but also means no coreboot option), yet has
+most options available to configure (so it's not locked out like most firmwares
+are).
+
+An external RS232 serial port is available, internally a GPIO header as well.
+It does have Realtek based audio on board for some reason, but you can disable
+that. Booting works on both USB2 and USB3 ports. Switching between serial BIOS
+mode and HDMI BIOS mode depends on what is connected at startup; it goes into
+serial mode if you disconnect HDMI and plug in serial, in all other cases it's
+HDMI mode.
+
+Partaker i5
+===========
+
+.. figure:: ../_static/images/600px-Partaker-i5.jpg
+
+I believe this is actually the same hardware as the Protectli. I purchased it
+in June 2018. It came pre-loaded with pfSense.
+
+`Manufacturer product page <http://www.inctel.com.cn/product/detail/338.html>`_.
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+* Write VyOS ISO to USB drive of some sort
+* Plug in VGA, power, USB keyboard, and USB drive
+* Press "SW" button on the front (this is the power button; I don't know what
+  "SW" is supposed to mean).
+* Begin rapidly pressing delete on the keyboard. The boot prompt is very quick,
+  but with a few tries you should be able to get into the BIOS.
+* Chipset > South Bridge > USB Configuration: set XHCI to Disabled and USB 2.0
+  (EHCI) to Enabled. Without doing this, the USB drive won't boot.
+* Boot to the VyOS installer and install as usual.
+
+Warning the interface labels on my device are backwards; the left-most "LAN4"
+port is eth0 and the right-most "LAN1" port is eth3.

+Acrosser AND-J190N1
+===================
+
+.. figure:: ../_static/images/480px-Acrosser_ANDJ190N1_Front.jpg
+
+.. figure:: ../_static/images/480px-Acrosser_ANDJ190N1_Back.jpg
+
+This microbox network appliance was build to create OpenVPN bridges. It can
+saturate a 100Mbps link. It is a small (serial console only) PC with 6 Gb LAN
+http://www.acrosser.com/upload/AND-J190_J180N1-2.pdf
+
+You may have to add your own RAM and HDD/SSD. There is no VGA connector. But
+Acrosser provides a DB25 adapter for the VGA header on the motherboard (not
+used).
+
+BIOS Settings:
+--------------
+
+First thing you want to do is getting a more user friendly console to configure
+BIOS. Default VT100 brings a lot of issues. Configure VT100+ instead.
+
+For practical issues change speed from 115200 to 9600. 9600 is the default
+speed at which both linux kernel and VyOS will reconfigure the serial port
+when loading.
+
+Connect to serial (115200bps). Power on the appliance and press Del in the
+console when requested to enter BIOS settings.
+
+Advanced > Serial Port Console Redirection > Console Redirection Settings:
+
+* Terminal Type : VT100+
+* Bits per second : 9600
+
+Save, reboot and change serial speed to 9600 on your client.
+
+Some options have to be changed for VyOS to boot correctly. With XHCI enabled
+the installer can’t access the USB key. Enable EHCI instead.
+
+Reboot into BIOS, Chipset > South Bridge > USB Configuration:
+
+* Disable XHCI
+* Enable USB 2.0 (EHCI) Support
+
+Install VyOS:
+-------------
+
+Create a VyOS bootable USB key. I used the 64-bit ISO (VyOS 1.1.7) and
+`LinuxLive USB Creator <http://www.linuxliveusb.com/>`_.
+
+I'm not sure if it helps the process but I changed default option to live-serial
+(line “default xxxx”) on the USB key under syslinux/syslinux.cfg.
+
+I connected the key to one black USB port on the back and powered on. The first
+VyOS screen has some readability issues. Press :kbd:`Enter` to continue.
+
+Then VyOS should boot and you can perform the ``install image``
