+## Using Docker based Installation
+
+Due to the number of issues encountered around compatibility between the ruby runtime environment
+that is part of the upstream vagrant installation and the library dependencies of libvirt that
+this project requires to communicate with libvirt, there is a docker image build and published.
+
+This should allow users to execute vagrant with vagrant-libvirt without needing to deal with
+the compatibility issues, though you may need to extend the image for your own needs should
+you make use of additional plugins.
+
+To get the image:
+```bash
+docker pull vagrantlibvirt/vagrant-libvirt:latest
+```
+
+Running the image:
+```bash
+docker run -it --rm \
+  -e LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI \
+  -v /var/run/libvirt/:/var/run/libvirt/ \
+  -v ~/.vagrant.d:/.vagrant.d \
+  -v $(pwd):$(pwd) \
+  -w $(pwd) \
+  vagrantlibvirt/vagrant-libvirt:latest \
+    vagrant status
+```
+
+Note that if you are connecting to a remote system libvirt, you may omit the
+`-v /var/run/libvirt/:/var/run/libvirt/` mount bind. Some distributions patch the local
+vagrant environment to ensure vagrant-libvirt uses `qemu:///session`, which means you
+may need to set the environment variable `LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI` to the same value if
+looking to use this in place of your distribution provided installation.

-## USB Redirector Devices
+
+## Using USB Devices
+
+There are several ways to pass a USB device through to a running instance:
+* Use `libvirt.usb` to [attach a USB device at boot](#usb-device-passthrough), with the device ID specified in the Vagrantfile
+* Use a client (such as `virt-viewer` or `virt-manager`) to attach the device at runtime [via USB redirectors](#usb-redirector-devices)
+* Use `virsh attach-device` once the VM is running (however, this is outside the scope of this readme)
+
+In all cases, if you wish to use a high-speed USB device,
+you will need to use `libvirt.usb_controller` to specify a USB2 or USB3 controller,
+as the default configuration only exposes a USB1.1 controller.
+
+### USB Controller Configuration
+
+The USB controller can be configured using `libvirt.usb_controller`, with the following options:
+
+* `model` - The USB controller device model to emulate. (mandatory)
+* `ports` - The number of devices that can be connected to the controller.
+
+```ruby
+Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
+  config.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt|
+    # Set up a USB3 controller
+    libvirt.usb_controller :model => "nec-xhci"

+
+### USB Device Passthrough
+
+You can specify multiple USB devices to passthrough to the VM via

+* `device` - The USB device ID, e.g. "2"
+* `vendor` - The USB devices vendor ID (VID), e.g. "0x1234"
+* `product` - The USB devices product ID (PID), e.g. "0xabcd"
+
+At least one of these has to be specified, and `bus` and `device` may only be
+used together.

+The example values above match the device from the following output of `lsusb`:

+## QEMU Session Support
+
+vagrant-libvirt supports using QEMU user sessions to maintain Vagrant VMs. As the session connection does not have root access to the system features which require root will not work. Access to networks created by the system QEMU connection can be granted by using the [QEMU bridge helper](https://wiki.qemu.org/Features/HelperNetworking). The bridge helper is enabled by default on some distros but may need to be enabled/installed on others.
+
+There must be a virbr network defined in the QEMU system session. The libvirt `default` network which comes by default, the vagrant `vagrant-libvirt` network which is generated if you run a Vagrantfile using the System session, or a manually defined network can be used. These networks can be set to autostart with `sudo virsh net-autostart <net-name>`, which'll mean no further root access is required even after reboots.
+
+The QEMU bridge helper is configured via `/etc/qemu/bridge.conf`. This file must include the virbr you wish to use (e.g. virbr0, virbr1, etc). You can find this out via `sudo virsh net-dumpxml <net-name>`.

+## Package Box from VM
+
+vagrant-libvirt has native support for [`vagrant
+package`](https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/cli/package.html) via
+libguestfs [virt-sysprep](http://libguestfs.org/virt-sysprep.1.html).
+virt-sysprep operations can be customized via the
+`VAGRANT_LIBVIRT_VIRT_SYSPREP_OPERATIONS` environment variable; see the
+[upstream
+documentation](http://libguestfs.org/virt-sysprep.1.html#operations) for
+further details especially on default sysprep operations enabled for
+your system.
+
+Options to the virt-sysprep command call can be passed via
+`VAGRANT_LIBVIRT_VIRT_SYSPREP_OPTIONS` environment variable.
+
+```shell
+$ export VAGRANT_LIBVIRT_VIRT_SYSPREP_OPTIONS="--delete /etc/hostname"
+$ vagrant package
+```
+
+For example, on Chef [bento](https://github.com/chef/bento) VMs that
+require SSH hostkeys already set (e.g. bento/debian-7) as well as leave
+existing LVM UUIDs untouched (e.g. bento/ubuntu-18.04), these can be
+packaged into vagrant-libvirt boxes like so:
+
+```shell
+$ export VAGRANT_LIBVIRT_VIRT_SYSPREP_OPERATIONS="defaults,-ssh-userdir,-ssh-hostkeys,-lvm-uuids"
+$ vagrant package
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting VMs
+
+The first step for troubleshooting a VM image that appears to not boot correctly,
+or hangs waiting to get an IP, is to check it with a VNC viewer. A key thing
+to remember is that if the VM doesn't get an IP, then vagrant can't communicate
+with it to configure anything, so a problem at this stage is likely to come from
+the VM, but we'll outline the tools and common problems to help you troubleshoot
+that.
+
+By default, when you create a new VM, a vnc server will listen on `127.0.0.1` on
+port `TCP5900`. If you connect with a vnc viewer you can see the boot process. If
+your VM isn't listening on `5900` by default, you can use `virsh dumpxml` to find
+out which port it's listening on, or can configure it with `graphics_port` and
+`graphics_ip` (see 'Domain Specific Options' above).
+
+Note: Connecting with the console (`virsh console`) requires additional config,
+so some VMs may not show anything on the console at all, instead displaying it in
+the VNC console. The issue with the text console is that you also need to build the
+image used to tell the kernel to output to the console during boot, and typically
+most do not have this built in.
+
+Problems we've seen in the past include:
+- Forgetting to remove `/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules` before packaging
+the VM
+- VMs expecting a specific disk device to be connected
+
+If you're still confused, check the Github Issues for this repo for anything that
+looks similar to your problem.
+
+[Github Issue #1032](https://github.com/vagrant-libvirt/vagrant-libvirt/issues/1032)
+contains some historical troubleshooting for VMs that appeared to hang.
+
+Did you hit a problem that you'd like to note here to save time in the future?
+Please do!
