## TODO
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Usage of `virt-customize` doesn't fully work on this image.
|
||||||
|
- Root password does get changed, but hostname remains unchanged.
|
||||||
|
- Move to using `cloud-init` as shown in the Arch Wiki articles linked in the [arch-boxes](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/arch-boxes/) readme.
|
||||||
|
- Maybe also lock the root and default user accounts [as suggested on the `cloud-init` Arch Wiki page](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Cloud-init#Default_user_configuration)
|
||||||
|
- Install and enable QEMU Guest Agent on new guest to allow immediate access to new VM via `community.libvirt.libvirt` ansible module
|
||||||
|
- Minimize/generalize the VM template XML as much as possible.
|
||||||
|
- Currently, the XML is only slightly modified from one generated by `virt-manager`, so may include lots of unnecessary faff.
|
||||||
|
- Have had issues (already fixed) with the OS Type specification making `virt-manager` unhappy when trying to access new VMs created by this playbook. It's possible this issue might crop up again in the future.
|
||||||
|
- Would like to retain the ability to generate VMs that are usable via `virt-manager`
|
||||||
|
- Maybe create a second ultra-minimal XML template for VMs that won't be used with `virt-manager`?
|
||||||
|
- Add checksum verification for downloaded sources.
|
||||||
|
- Will require some more fiddling than what the source article suggests due to Arch's release schedule.
|
||||||
|
- More documentation
