ElectArch

Simple arch linux emulator using electron and v86

Beta:tm:

Basically this is my attempt making a better(i think) design of v86 website

Feature

• Autosave(It works this time)
• Nice dark terminal design
• File exchanging
• Arch linux with latest tools
• Network access(WIP)
• Starts very fast
• Lightweight(This time not single file anymore, Can be reused easily)

How to

Hardware requirement

Recommended :

• i5 8th gen
• 4GB of ram
• (optional) Process lasso or ram managing software

Resources usage

• Around 20% - 50% CPU on busy, 0% on idle
• 1 GB of ram
• 30MB of storage

Installing

1. Download as zip(Installer soon:tm:)
2. Put it somewhere that you usually put programs
3. Run npm install
4. Create a new shortcut, configure it like below :

• Target: <mainFolder>\node_modules\electron\dist\electron.exe "<mainFolder>"
• Start in: <mainFolder>
• To run without shortcut, Run npm start

5. Open it.

Network support

• Network suport is WIP, not enabled by default because i cannot compile the dependency
• To install the network relay, Run npm install tuntap2
• To enable networking in the VM, Run ./networking.sh in the VM

File exchanging

1. Hover your mouse at the bottom right corner, A panel should fade in.
2. For getting files out from vm, enter the full path to the file.
3. State reset button is also accessible from there
