NAME¶

qwdctl - Control qemu-web-desktop

SYNOPSIS¶

qwdctl keyword

DESCRIPTION¶

qwdctl is a simple script that downloads virtual machine images for use with qemu-web-desktop and/or refreshes the list of available images so that qemu-web-desktop can display it in its web interface.

Supported virtual machine formats are: ISO, QCOW2, VDI, VMDK, RAW, VHD/VHDX, QED

Each entry in the configuration file /etc/qemu-web-desktop/machines.conf spans on 3 lines:

•

[name.ext]

•

url=[URL to virtual machine disk, optional]

•

description=[description to be shown in the service page]

Images listed in the configuration file without a url= parameter are expected to be downloaded by hand and installed into /var/lib/qemu-web-desktop/machines by the local administrator. Then, just specify the [name.ext] and description.

SUBCOMMANDS¶
