Vagrant Qemu Provider

This is a simple Vagrant plugin that adds a qemu provider to Vagrant, allowing Vagrant to control and provision machines using qemu.

Environment preparation

First make sure qemu works in your environment. If qemu is not installed yet,

brew install qemu

It is optional, but we strongly suggest installing qemu-virgl to enable graphical acceleration:

brew install akirakyle/qemu-virgl/qemu-virgl

If vagrant is not installed yet, you should install it:

brew install vagrant

If any troubles met for vagrant installation, check other options

Build and install

Clone this repo:

git clone https://github.com/billyan2018/vagrant-qemu

Then build and install

rake build && vagrant plugin install pkg/vagrant-qemu-0.2.22.gem

  config.vm.provider :libvirt do |lv|
    lv.qemu_command = "qemu-system-x86_64" 
    lv.machine = "q35"
    lv.cpu = "max"
    lv.memory = "4G"
    lv.display="cocoa,gl=es"
