quickemu

Build and manage highly optimised desktop virtual machines quickly. See also: quickget for preparing VM configurations. More information: https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu.

• Create and run a virtual machine from a configuration file:

quickemu --vm {{path/to/file.conf}}

• Do not commit any changes to disk/snapshot but write any changes to temporary files:

quickemu --status-quo --vm {{path/to/file.conf}}

• Start the virtual machine in full-screen mode (<Ctrl Alt f> to exit) and select the display backend (sdl by default):

quickemu --fullscreen --display {{sdl|gtk|spice|spice-app|none}} --vm {{path/to/file.conf}}

• Select a virtual audio device to emulate and create a desktop shortcut:

quickemu --sound-card {{intel-hda|ac97|es1370|sb16|none}} --shortcut --vm {{path/to/file.conf}}

• Create a snapshot:

quickemu --snapshot create {{tag}} --vm {{path/to/file.conf}}

• Restore a snapshot:

quickemu --snapshot apply {{tag}} --vm {{path/to/file.conf}}

• Delete a snapshot:

quickemu --snapshot delete {{tag}} --vm {{path/to/file.conf}}
