Windows virtualization under Linux?
Have a good meal,
very briefly:
Does anyone have a solution how I can install a Windows VM with remote access to my Linux server?
I don't even know if that's technically possible. I have a Linux server with the Ubuntu Server operating system. The server isn't that slow either, easily enough to run Windows natively. Currently, it only runs Nextcloud. I'd like to have a way to simply open Microsoft Remote Desktop and remotely access a properly running Windows installation from anywhere. Is something like that technically feasible? Or are there other solutions or ideas?
I am happy to consider any other solutions and ideas.

For Ubuntu Desktop, VirtualBox is definitely possible, I don’t know if you can use it without GUI, but I think so. However, it would be the question whether your server allows virtualization. This can be deactivated in the BIOS and if you have no hardware access to the server, you either need to ask the hoster or if a vServer/VPS is in general it is not advisable to run recursive virtualization.
I have hardware access, i.e. I would have the option on VBox and the virtualization is enabled.
Proxmox would be the easiest.
Works my Nextcloud or My native Linux applications still? And where is the practical difference for me to KVM?
Proxmox is based on Debian. So the same system based on Ubuntu. Proxmox VMs use native KVM.
If you use a system for VMs, you should not install anything on this system in parallel. You can set up small VM for nextcloud yes. Technically, nix would speak against letting nextcloud run directly on the virtualization host, but bad practice is nevertheless.
Okay, good to know, thanks.
It goes through virtualization. Can use KVM. But you have to read a bit. You can find tutorials on the internet.
Is it the way I’ve described, so that I can connect to each time via Microsoft Remote Desktop also from External (if I release appropriate ports logically) or is that something different?
As soon as the VM runs and corresponding network connection is configured, i.e. you can also get into the VM from outside, you can access the RDP port as with any other computer (if applicable). Service running in virtualized Windows).
As long as the VM runs and the network is correctly configured, you can naturally connect to RDP clients.
Thank you
In principle, I have no problem with the shell if it is reasonably explained what the commands do and how to use them
In this tutorial you install the virt manager on another system that also runs on Ubuntu. You will then start the virtual machine on the server.
You don’t have to do that. You can also work directly on the server, but then you do not have a graphical interface and have to do everything about the shell.
What exactly does that mean that I need another Ubuntu?
So you don’t have to be an expert. You need a solid tutorial, but more to know always helps when encountering difficulties.

Look here. However, you need another Ubuntu for this tutorial to configure the VMs on the server via a user interface.
Do you have to be an absolute expert, or can someone who is generally fit in such a thing already read well?
