I'm trying to set up a hypervisor on Ubuntu 24 LTS that supports WiFi and allows SSH access from other machines on the same network. I've tried using KVM, but I'm unable to connect via SSH from another device. My ultimate goal is to provision a Kubernetes cluster, but I'm limited by the constraint of not being able to use a physical Ethernet connection for the internet. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

For quick testing with Kubernetes, Multipass by Canonical is a great option. It's lightweight, friendly with WiFi, and works well for SSH and cluster setups. Give it a shot!
It sounds like the issue might be related to your network configuration. Make sure you've set up your KVM instances to use a bridged network, which may help with routing and give your VMs access to the outside IPs. Also, consider using VMware Workstation or VirtualBox, as they have user-friendly GUIs for network setup. That might simplify things for you!
Thanks for the tip! I tried working with iptables PREROUTING, but it hasn't been persistent for me. I guess I should focus on setting the bridged network configuration instead. I'm not a networking expert, so I'll need to look into how to do that.
Have you checked out the Kutti project? It might have some features that can help with your Kubernetes setup.
I haven't heard of that project before. I'll look into it, thanks!
Thanks! I'll definitely check out Multipass.
