uvt-simplestreams-libvirt - manage simplestreams images in libvirt
Contents
Description
uvt-simplestreams-libvirt maintains a libvirt volume storage pool as a local mirror of a subset of images
available from a simplestreams source, such as Ubuntu cloud images.
uvt-simplestreams-libvirtsync updates the local mirror with the latest version of each product available
in the simplestreams source. Each filter restricts the set of images visible to the tool.
If syncing images for .I emulation use, e.g. armhf on an amd64 host then .B sync will also prepare the
kernel/initrd for later use. In this case the .B sync action will need .I root permission to store the
files.
uvt-simplestreams-libvirtquery queries the local mirror. Each filter restricts the output.
uvt-simplestreams-libvirtpurge exists only for development and debugging purposes, and should not
normally be used. It purges the entire libvirt volume storage pool and all metadata associated with it,
breaking any existing VMs that use these volumes. This subcommand may disappear in the future.

Options
--no-authentication
Do not authenticate the source. This is useful when you are using a local source, or can otherwise
trust both the source and your network path to the source. It is insecure in other cases and
should not be used.
--keyringkeyring
Use the gpg(1) keyring to authenticate the source. Default: /usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-cloudimage-keyring.gpg.
--sourcesource
Use the source URL as the simplestreams source of product images to sync.
--pathpath
Pass path to the simplestreams library.
