+
+The previous post [Run Ubuntu in QEMU on macOS (Apple Silicon)](/post/qemu-macos-apple-silicon/) instructed us how to
+set QEMU networking up by [vde_vmnet](https://github.com/lima-vm/vde_vmnet). However, the 
+[vde_vmnet](https://github.com/lima-vm/vde_vmnet) was deprecated. This post is a guide to set QEMU networking up by the
+successor [socket_vmnet](https://github.com/lima-vm/socket_vmnet).
+
+# Prerequisite
+
+1. ubuntu-24.04-live-server-arm64.iso
+2. QEMU >= 9.0
+3. [socket_vmnet](https://github.com/lima-vm/socket_vmnet) >= 1.1.4
+4. macOS >= Sonoma (Apple Silicon)
+
+## Preparation
+
+```shell
+# Download the Ubuntu live cd from the official website.
+# https://ubuntu.com/download/server/arm
+
+# Install QEMU by Homebrew.
+brew install qemu
+
+# Install socket_vmnet.
+brew install socket_vmnet
+
+# Install the launchd service
+brew tap homebrew/services
+# sudo is necessary for the next line
+sudo brew services start socket_vmnet
+```
+
+## Test
+
+```shell
+ping 192.168.105.1
+```
+
+If the test is failed, try to restart the service by the following command.
+
+```shell
+sudo brew services restart socket_vmnet
+```
+
+# Install Ubuntu
+
+1. Download QEMU EFI.
+
+    ```shell
+    curl -L https://releases.linaro.org/components/kernel/uefi-linaro/latest/release/qemu64/QEMU_EFI.fd -o QEMU_EFI.fd
+
+    ```
+
+2. Create an image.
+
+    ```shell
+    qemu-img create -f raw -o preallocation=full ubuntu.img 40G
+    ```
+
+3. Boot QEMU to install Ubuntu.
+
+    ```shell
+    socket_vmnet_client /opt/homebrew/var/run/socket_vmnet \
+        qemu-system-aarch64 \
+            -machine virt,accel=hvf \
+            -cpu host \
+            -smp 8 \
+            -m 8G \
+            -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=net0 -netdev socket,id=net0,fd=3 \
+            -drive if=virtio,format=raw,file=./ubuntu.img \
+            -cdrom <path/to/ubuntu iso> \
+            -nographic \
+            -bios QEMU_EFI.fd
+    ```
+
+# Boot Ubuntu in QEMU
+
+```shell
+socket_vmnet_client /opt/homebrew/var/run/socket_vmnet \
+    qemu-system-aarch64 \
+        -machine virt,accel=hvf \
+        -cpu host \
+        -smp 8 \
+        -m 8G \
+        -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=net0 -netdev socket,id=net0,fd=3 \
+        -drive if=virtio,format=raw,file=./ubuntu.img \
+        -nographic \
+        -bios QEMU_EFI.fd
+```
+
+# Log into the server by SSH
+
+```shell
+ssh 192.168.105.2
+```
