This is my VM automation book. I use vagrant on libvirt with kvm/qemu provider
For provisoning I use ansible. It is like a magic.
currently I have following setup:
I just copy paste to create new kind of vms. cheers!!
To run this I use arch linux btw!!
Follow followling steps:
# Install packages
sudo pacman -S vagrant libvirt qemu-base base-devel bridge-utils openbsd-netcat ebtables iptables libguestfs
# enable libvirt systemd service
sudo systemctl enable --now libvirtd
# allow user to access libvirt without pass,
sudo usermod -aG libvirt $USER
# install all the pluings form plugins file
vagrant plugin install <pluin-1> <plugin-2> ...
# cd centos/
vagrant upHere vagrant works as my frontend.
I use virt-manager too to sometimes debug the vms
sudo pacman -S virt-manager
