# Virtual Image

The project builds an OVA version of the Generic (x86\_64) imported which can be imported into current versions of vmware Workstation, Fusion (on Intel macOS hardware), and vSphere (ESXi). The OVA exists to support project team-member development activities, e.g. functional testing of userspace changes and the LibreELEC settings add-on without needing to use HTPC hardware.

We have never formally supported running LibreELEC in a hypervisor. This is mainly because none of the active project maintainers do this, so when software breakage to the OVA occurs the break often goes undiscovered and unfixed for many months (until the next time some development needing it takes place).

As we do not support the current VMware oriented OVA image, there are no plans to extend virtual image non-support to include Hyper-V, KVM, QEMU or any other hypervisors.&#x20;

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://wiki.libreelec.tv/hardware/virtual.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
