This script shows how you might have a library of premade
|
|
virtual machines ready for cloning, but as a final step you
|
|
use libguestfs or guestfish to customize some configuration
|
|
files inside the VM before it's ready to go.

|
In this simple recipe, we overwrite the <code>/etc/resolv.conf</code> file
|
|
with a new nameserver entry, and change <code>/etc/HOSTNAME</code>.

There are lots of possible improvements to this script, such as
|
|
using qcow2 snapshots so that cloned VMs share storage with their
|
|
"parent" preimages.
