I have a baremetal server with Debian. Iside it I have KVM-based VMs and LXC containers. Now I am searching a solution to run KVM inside LXC container.

    I don't think that can even be a thing – roaima Sep 25 '20 at 15:39
  • It's possible to run KVM in chroot, it's even possible to run KVM in VM on top of KVM, and even KVM-on-VM-on-KVM-on-VM-on-KVM, if CPU supports it. I, pesonally, run KVM on VM on top of KVM on VM on top of KVM, emulating a big network with CISCOs and Mikrotiks in VMs and some other emulated routers and switches. So, why not KVM in LXC? I'm sure it's possible. – 512yottabytes Sep 25 '20 at 16:43

    OK. I'll back out. I just didn't think you would be able to run KVM inside a container - to my mind that more likely to end up being KVM on the container's kernel (i.e. the host) – roaima Sep 25 '20 at 16:50
  • You have to figure out what's usually disabled in a container that needs to be enabled for proper operations. Obviously access to `/dev/kvm`. – A.B Sep 25 '20 at 22:49
