virt-bootstrap is a tool providing an easy way to setup the root file system for libvirt-based containers. It allows to use either a tarball containing the file system or an image on a docker registry and unpacks it either as a folder or in a qcow2 image with backing chains to mimic the docker layers. Dependencies ------------ * python 2 or 3 * skopeo * virt-sandbox * libguestfs Hacking ------- To test changes without installing the package in your machine, use the run script. For example to run virt-bootstrap, use a command like the following one: ./run src/virtBootstrap/virt_bootstrap.py --help
