=head1 NAME

debvm-run - Run a VM image created by debvm-create

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<debvm-run> [B<-g>] [B<-i> I<image>] [B<-s> I<sshport>] [B<--> I<qemu options>]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<debvm-run> is essentially a thin wrapper around B<qemu> for running a virtual machine image created by B<debvm-create> or something compatible.
The virtual machine image is expected to be a raw ext4 image with file system label B<debvm>.
The architecture of the machine is detected from the contained B</bin/true>.
It must contain a symbolic link pointing to a kernel image at B</vmlinuz> or B</vmlinux> depending on the architecture and a symbolic link pointing to an initrd image at B</initrd.img>.
Both are extracted and passed to B<qemu>.
A net interface configured for user mode is added automatically.

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 8

=item B<-g>, B<--graphical>

By default, the option B<-nographic> is passed to B<qemu> and one interacts with the serial console of the machine.
This configuration is skipped in the presence of this option.

=item B<-i> I<image>, B<--image>=I<image>

This option specifies the location of the virtual machine image file.
By default B<rootfs.ext4> in the working directory is used.

=item B<-s> I<sshport>, B<--sshport>=I<sshport>

If given, B<qemu> is configured to pass connections to I<127.0.0.1:sshport> to port 22 of the virtual machine.
You can connect to your virtual machine without updating your known hosts like this:

    ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -p $sshport root@127.0.0.1

=item B<--> I<qemu options>

All options beyond a double dash are passed to B<qemu>.
This can be used to configure additional hardware components.
One possible use of this method is passing B<-snapshot> to avoid modifying the virtual machine image.

=back

=head1 LIMITATIONS

Due to the way kernel and bootloader are being extracted before running B<qemu>, one cannot upgrade a kernel and then just reboot.
Attempting to do so, will still use the old kernel.
Instead, B<qemu> must be terminated and B<debvm-run> should be launched again to pick up the new kernel.
In order to avoid accidental reboots, one may pass B<-no-reboot> to B<qemu>.
