QWDCTL

NAME

qwdctl - Control qemu-web-desktop

SYNOPSIS

qwdctl keyword

DESCRIPTION

qwdctl is a simple script that downloads virtual machine images for use with qemu-web-desktop and/or refreshes the list of available images so that qemu-web-desktop can display it in its web interface.

Each entry in the configuration file /etc/qemu-web-desktop/machines.conf spans on 3 lines:

	•		[name.ext]
	•		url=[URL to ISO, QCOW2, VDI, VMDK, RAW virtual machine disk, optional]
	•		description=[description to be shown in the service page]

Images listed in the configuration file without a url= parameter are expected to be downloaded by hand and installed into /var/lib/qemu-web-desktop/machines by the local administrator. Then, just specify the [name.ext] and description.

SUBCOMMANDS

download

Downloads virtual machine images referenced in the /etc/qemu-web-desktop/machines.conf file. A refresh is automatically launched afterwards.
