A project to simplify setting up GPU passthrough on your Linux host for [QuickEMU](https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu)(vfio support not developed yet) and libvirt/virt-manager
You can use it by simply downloading the latest release and run it inside a terminal/shell or by downloading and compiling it yourself with the commands below.
* Use [ls-iommu](https://github.com/HikariKnight/ls-iommu) to find PCI devices like graphic cards, usb controllers, etc and see what IOMMU group they are in
* A system you can navigate through, built using [Bubble Tea](https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea) (Help appreciated to make this menu better!)
* ~~Coloured highlight/text for important information?~~ (not implemented yet)
* Make sure [vendor-reset](https://github.com/gnif/vendor-reset) module is loaded before vfio, check the repository for the list of cards that require it!
This project originally started out as a bash only project, upon completing the proof of concept it became very clear that bash would become very messy with all the weird quirks and regex and inline editing of files. <br>
So the project moved over to golang, this lets us utilize TUI toolkits like [Bubble Tea](https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea) to build a proper menu system for the project. <br>
If you know golang, bubbletea, passthrough or qemu, you are welcome to help! Just make a pull request to the [dev branch](https://github.com/HikariKnight/quickpassthrough/tree/dev) with your changes!<br>
Just remember to add comments to document the work and explain it for people who are less familiar with the bash syntax or anything else you use. 😄
Also if you know English, you can help by just proof reading. English is not my native language, plus I have dyslexia so I often make spelling mistakes.
I wanted to learn it, while also using a language that would potentially not create system dependencies. GO fits this criteria when you compile using CGO_ENABLED=0 as this will statically link the libraries and still produce a fairly small (when compressed with upx) binary.
