Thank you so much for this clear and easy-to-follow video! I followed your installation steps and successfully forwarded the guest port 22 to another port on host

well done there my friend. is there any significant difference with virt manager?

Thank you. I had this problem of localhost ssh

[leumas_tai]

you literally just saved my day. I've been using the IP addr of the VM rather than localhost. thanks. Is there a way I can use the VM IP rather than localhost?
