Add support to decompress cloud images

Open seragh opened this issue 3 months ago • 0 comments

SUMMARY

FreeBSD added basic cloud image support to their qcow images which can be found at https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/snapshots/VM-IMAGES/15.0-STABLE/amd64/Latest/. Thought playing with it and the new virt_cloud_instance module and ran into the issue where the images are compressed using xz.

Would be convenient if the virt_cloud_instance module could handle compressed source images directly. Either autodetect or maybe just by letting the user specify compression type of the image.
