💖 NAME 💖

cdist-type__qemu_img — bestie, this is the cdist type that manages your VM disk images. No cap.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so, the whole point of this one: the qemu-img program is what gets used to create qemu images for qemu and for (qemu-)kvm. That's it, that's the gig. It's giving "I make disks exist." 💅

✨ OPTIONAL PARAMETERS ✨

so these are optional-optional, except one of them isn't really optional in practice, keep reading, iykyk:

  • state — either present or absent. If you don't say anything, it defaults to present. So like, silent default energy. 🌸
  • size — the size of the image, in qemu-img compatible units. And listen: this one is required if state is present. You cannot be out here asking for a present image with no size, it will simply not slay. 🫶

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

here's the vibe in action, literally copy-paste these:

# Create a 50G size image
__qemu_img /home/services/kvm/vm/myvmname/system-disk --size 50G

# Remove image
__qemu_img /home/services/kvm/vm/myoldvm/system-disk --state absent

like, first one: boom, 50G image, main character energy. Second one: bye bye image, gone, no notes. 🎀
