Debian libvirt images
Describe the Enhancement
Add support for Debian, e.g. Trixie/v13, libvirt images.
Describe the Need
Since the Debian project itself no longer provides images, the possibility of obtaining Debian images from reputable sources is now unfortunately very limited.
Current Alternative
Use existing images from unknown sources.
Can We Help You Implement This
No 🙁
The broken Debian builds are due to libvirt using virtio which names block devices /dev/vda. The configuration is hard coded to use /dev/sda. I created a PR with the changes (#1631).
@votdev Until there is a bento release with a libvirt box, you can build your own from the bento repository. Install bento as described in the README. Clone the repository and apply the changes that replace /dev/sda, like in #1631, and run bento build... from the repository root. bento build -d --gui -o qemu.vm --vars "ssh_timeout=90m" os_pkrvars/debian/debian-13-x86_64.pkrvars.hcl worked for me and opens VNC to follow the progress/see potential errors). Then you can vagrant box add <your box name> <box file> locally. Or throw it on a server or upload it to hashicorp cloud.
