README

        
This builds an up-to-date Vagrant AlmaLinux Base Box.

Currently this targets [AlmaLinux 9](https://almalinux.org/).

# Usage

Install [Packer](https://www.packer.io/) and [Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/).

## qemu-kvm usage

Install qemu-kvm:

```bash

apt-get install -y qemu-kvm

apt-get install -y sysfsutils

systool -m kvm_intel -v

```

Type `make build-libvirt` and follow the instructions.

Try the example guest:

```bash

cd example

apt-get install -y virt-manager libvirt-dev

vagrant plugin install vagrant-libvirt

vagrant up --provider=libvirt

vagrant ssh

exit

vagrant destroy -f

```

# Kickstart

The AlmaLinux installation iso uses the Anaconda installer to install AlmaLinux.

During the installation it will ask you some questions and it will also

store your answers in the `/root/anaconda-ks.cfg` (aka kickstart) file.

This file is later used to fully automate a new installation by specifying

its location in the `inst.ks` kernel command line argument.
