VM spinup using libvirt
2019, Oct 17
2021-03-10 Update: see this blog post for another (and better?) way.
I usually have some base VMs to clone from when I create new VMs. This includes some tedious manual steps like resetting passwords and hostnames.
To make things easier for me, I create a spinup script. It is located on github.
Requirements:
- Root access on the virtualization host
- Routed access to the new machine from the current host.
If you have that, look at the readme file for usage info.
