A few feature requests I'd like to see in the VM creation playbooks.

  • The playbooks shouldn't need to run as root. For QEMU, I believe you just need to be in the kvm group, and for libvirt, you just have to be in the libvirt group. When invoking virsh, either use the flag -c qemu:///system, or set the environment variable LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI=qemu:///system.
  • Number of CPUs, RAM, etc. should be totally configurable by the user.
  • Only the root disks need to be 10GB. The ZFS disks can be much smaller (e.g. 1GB) since we're only using them for testing (we're not going to download the real software packages on there).
  • For the libvirt playbook, check if the ISO already exists before downloading. Add instructions if the user has a pre-downloaded ISO which they'd like to use instead.
  • I don't think ovmf is necessary, at least not for libvirt.

For libvirt without ovmf, --boot uefi does not work and without that the vm does not boot into uefi.
