Quickemu
Quickly create and run optimized Windows, macOS and Linux
Quickly create and run optimized Windows, macOS, and Linux virtual machines. Quickemu is a wrapper for the excellent QEMU that automatically "does the right thing" when creating virtual machines. No requirement for exhaustive configuration options. You decide what operating system you want to run and Quickemu takes care of the rest. The original objective of the project was to enable quick testing of Linux distributions where the virtual machines and their configuration can be stored anywhere (such as external USB storage or your home directory) and no elevated permissions are required to run the virtual machines. -

Windows (Dockur)
Windows inside a Docker container
This project makes it surprisingly easy to run a Windows environment inside a Docker container by using a QEMU-based virtual machine under the hood. It provides a turnkey image and a simple set of environment variables so you can select Windows editions, control disk persistence, and access the VM via a web-based VNC console or similar remote viewers. Because the VM is wrapped in Docker, you can treat Windows as a disposable, repeatable service: create, snapshot with volumes, tear down, and rebuild with consistent results. The setup bundles sensible defaults for UEFI/OVMF firmware, virtio devices, and automated first-boot behavior to streamline installation. It’s handy for demos, testing, or hosted tooling that truly requires Windows but where you still want container-style workflows and orchestration. -

macOS (Dockur)
macOS inside a Docker container
dockur/macos packages a macOS virtual machine inside a Docker container using QEMU/KVM, making it easy to spin up a macOS environment on a Linux host. It provides sensible defaults for firmware, disk, and devices, plus a browser-accessible VNC console so you can complete installation and interact with the desktop remotely. Typical inputs—like environment variables and mounted volumes—control edition choice, storage persistence, and resource sizing, which makes runs repeatable and disposable. Because it’s containerized, you can script lifecycle operations, snapshot state via volumes, and integrate the VM into CI or demo setups without a traditional hypervisor UI. Performance depends on host capabilities and whether hardware acceleration is available, but for light GUI tasks, tooling, or sandboxing, it’s surprisingly practical. Users should bring their own valid media and licenses, and be mindful of platform terms and host resource limits. -

Bareflank Hypervisor
lightweight hypervisor SDK written in C++
The Bareflank Hypervisor is an open source hypervisor Software Development Toolkit (SDK) for Rust and C++, led by Assured Information Security, Inc. (AIS), that provides the tools needed to rapidly prototype and create your own hypervisor on 64bit versions of Intel and AMD (ARMv8 CPUs, RISC-V and PowerPC also planned). The Bareflank SDK is intended for instructional/research purposes as it only provides enough virtualization support to start/stop a hypervisor. Bareflank can also be used as the foundation to create your own, fully functional hypervisor as it uses the MIT license, and includes 100% unit test coverage and compliance for AUTOSAR. If you are looking for a complete hypervisor (and not an SDK), please see MicroV. If you are looking for a minimal SDK for education or to perform research, this is the project for you. If you are simply looking for a reference hypervisor, please see SimpleVisor. -

VMAware
VM detection library in C++
VMAware is a cross-platform library designed to detect virtual machines. It is meant to be stupidly easy to use, with only 5 total functions in its public interface. Additionally, it supports brand detection. While there are many VM detection mechanisms that are already in use, VMAware features up to 80+ unique techniques to get the most accurate result possible. On top of the library, there's a CLI tool that takes advantage of the full library (see screenshots) It's also meant to be compatible with ARM, and 32-bit Windows, with C++11 support. The library also has separate MIT and GPL compliant code, allowing for licensing flexibility among proprietary and open-source projects. -

Dyalect
Dyalect is a programming language for .NET Core
Dyalect is a dynamic programming language for .NET Core platform. It is lightweight, fast and modern. Dyalect (or Dy for short) is written in C# and has zero dependencies except for standard .NET Core libraries, which means that it can seamlessly run on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Moreover you can use the same binaries on any of these platforms! Dy runs on the top of its own high performance virtual machine. It compiles fast and can be used as an embeddable language or as a scripting language of your choice. It is also a good language to learn programming. Dyalect offers modern syntax, inspired by such languages as C#, Swift, Go and Rust, first class functions, coroutines, expressive modules, a dynamic type system with an ability to extend existing types with new functions and much more. Dy is shipped with a crossplatform interactive console. Main repo: https://github.com/vorov2/dyalect -

Proxy yxorP
Proxy 🦄 .yxorP [v2.1] Plug & Play Stateful SAAS(y), Multi-tenancy
yxorP is a plug-and-play, flat-file application that does not need Composer, PHP CURL, or databases; these are all optional additions that are fully supported. yxorP is intended to act as a proxy that can edit or update the content of multiple websites using a PHAR (PHP archive) binary version of Guzzle, and managed via a user-friendly Cockpit backend (GUI). The incoming request hostname is used to fetch site-specific requirements from the backend, the target website is then retrieved and modified accordingly. Additionally, the website content can be optionally spun using the article spinning engine that is already embedded into the application. After the website has been modified the result is then stored for a predefined time inside a custom-built, flat-file cache system architectured to be 500x faster than memory-based cache systems such as Memcache and Redis. This is accomplished by bypassing the serialisation and deserialization processes, which resulted a significantly faster -

The LiquidCore Project
Node.js virtual machine for Android and iOS
LiquidCore enables Node.js virtual machines to run inside Android and iOS apps. It provides a complete runtime environment, including a virtual file system. LiquidCore also provides a convenient way for Android developers to execute raw JavaScript inside of their apps, as iOS developers can already do natively with JavaScriptCore. One of the newest features in 0.7.0+ is the ability to automatically bundle JavaScript files in the application build process. This is configured in the gradle-config and/or pod-config steps above. The bundling options are stored in the local package.json file in the liquidcore property. Bundling is a convenient way to test and package your JavaScript projects. The bundler uses Metro to package up all of your required node modules into a single file that can be packaged as a resource in your app. If you are running on the Android Emulator or iOS Simulator, you can run a local server on your development machine and hot-edit your JavaScript code. -
