Question on shared folder host

KVM
1

So, after the Whonix was installed and for ability to share files between host and VM I need to create and run “.sh” file (wrote below) with this code inside? Em I right?

##Create shared directory and adjust permissions
mkdir --parents /mnt/shared
chmod 777 /mnt/shared
mkdir --parents /mnt/gateway-shared
mkdir --parents /mnt/workstation-shared
chmod 777 /mnt/gateway-shared
chmod 777 /mnt/workstation-shared

kill -s sigterm “$libvirtd_pid”

I’m assuming you want to create the folder with a script after doing a manual install?

If that’s so then the only part that is relevant is the mkdri and chmod commands which you run as root.

This is a development discussion. It does not contain user documentation. Whonix for KVM is the only supported way for now.

Copying from a git diff won’t work.

And out into its new thread it goes.
