vee
A command-line VM manager built on QEMU/KVM. Create, start, stop, SSH into, and monitor virtual machines from a single lightweight tool.
vee create myvm # create an Ubuntu 24.04 server VM
vee start myvm # boot it (detached)
vee ssh myvm # SSH in
vee stop myvm # graceful shutdown
Simple setup
Install from source in one command. Batteries included: cloud images, cloud-init, SSH key management, and SPICE display.
GPU passthrough
Pass a PCIe GPU directly to a VM with VFIO. Built-in preflight checks, IOMMU group validation, and automatic D3cold recovery.
Bridge & NAT networking
User-mode NAT for quick dev VMs. Bridge mode for VMs that need real LAN access (NAS, gaming, Windows).
