## Armbian Buster
## Virtual Machine
Tested with:
* Ubuntu image in VirtualBox and linux virt-manager / [cockpit-machines](https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit-machines)
* Debian image in VirtualBox https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz/issues/2756#issuecomment-983532237
* TrueNAS (FreeBSD bhyve) with an Ubuntu VM: https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz/issues/2104#issuecomment-917444238
To just experiment can load a virtualbox image from: https://www.osboxes.org/ubuntu (does not need installation)
Password: `osboxes.org`
Can carry on straight to building the OS:
```
# download the build script
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz/dev/build_sdcard.sh
# run
sudo bash build_sdcard.sh false false rootzoll dev headless
```
switch off when ready
and attach an other disk (can be even small if you prune or [stop bitcoind](https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz/issues/1500#issuecomment-982779830) ).
The second virtual disk will be used as the BLOCKCHAIN drive.
This makes that data portable and independent from the OS similar to the combination of the SDcard and separate SSD.
