Hello, I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction regarding issues I have
starting up libvirt services on MacOS Sonoma.
I am running:
macOS Sonoma 14.5
llibvirt: stable 10.4.0 (bottled)
qemu: stable 9.0.1 (bottled)
I have the following entries in libvirt.conf:
listen_tls = 0
listen_tcp = 1
listen_addr = "0.0.0.0"
unix_sock_group = "libvirt"
unix_sock_ro_perms = "0777"
unix_sock_rw_perms = "0770"
unix_sock_admin_perms = "0700"
unix_sock_dir = "/opt/homebrew/var/run/libvirt"
auth_unix_ro = "none"
auth_unix_rw = "none"
auth_tls = "none"
tls_no_sanity_certificate = 1
tls_no_verify_certificate = 1
log_filters="1:qemu 1:libvirt 4:object 4:json 2:event 1:util"
log_outputs="1:file:/opt/homebrew/var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log"
I added ```firewalld = 0``` and ```irewall_backend = "none"```. These made no
difference, I have since removed both.
Snippets of the log in debug mode indicate a usable firewall backend cannot be found, is
there a way to resolve this on macOS?
