Setting up VM in an automated way 101
Raw
vm_automation.md

This isn't really a guide, but more like a log of what I know when it comes to automating VMs. First I'll details things in a non-specific way (eg: without it depending on a particular application). I'll details things later.

  • SSH (local)
  • ISO extration/editing/re-bundle
    • Chroot to install package, etc
    • Just move files or extract them too (eg: exctrating a .deb files on debian/ubuntu can work too, etc)
    • Compiling (same as above depending on how you look at it)
  • COM bridge (Mostly Windows)
  • socket (tcp, etc)
  • ?? (there more possible entry but I'll update it whenever I feel like it's worth adding)

I know there existing ways to "provision" VMs, but I prefer to not use them here (unless under a professional/business setting).

The best two VM I found that I like to automate are:

  • Vbox
  • Qemu

It's mostly a preferences thing.
