# Disk image from base image ```bash qemu-img create -f qcow2 -b ../images/centos-native/x86_64/CentOS-Stream-GenericCloud-9-20220330.1.x86_64.qcow2 -F qcow2 .vmm/disks/fs.qcow2 40G ``` `-b` is relative to the created image # Networking I think `vde` should be easy enough to implement for vm to vm communication. `user` networking can be used for host and internet access. It also has options for host_fwd and smb # File Sharing `user` networking has smb support. It uses samba. There is also virtio-fs, which uses a daemon on the host and some special devices. It has been tested on a Linux host, but not on other platforms. # yaml ideas drives(or disks) could be moved to the root. They aren't really properties of the vm, but are attached to a vm. maybe a gui option? maybe more machine options? Maybe a provider option? cloud init's meta-data and user-data can just be a dict under the disk spec. The yaml file can be created ad hoc and be written to an ISO file.
