-[Libvirt](http://libvirt.org) provider to Vagrant, allowing Vagrant to
-control and provision machines via Libvirt toolkit.
-
-**Note:** Actual version is still a development one. Feedback is welcome and
-can help a lot :-)

-
-## Using the container image
-
-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.
-
-Note the default image contains the full toolchain required to build and install vagrant-libvirt
-and it's dependencies. There is also a smaller image published with the `-slim` suffix if you
-just need vagrant-libvirt and don't need to install any additional plugins for your environment.
-
-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.
-
-### Using Docker
-
-To get the image with the most recent release:
-```bash
-docker pull vagrantlibvirt/vagrant-libvirt:latest
-```
-
----
-**Note** If you want the very latest code you can use the `edge` tag instead.
-
-```bash
-docker pull vagrantlibvirt/vagrant-libvirt:edge
-```
----
-
-Running the image:
-```bash
-docker run -i --rm \
-  -e LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI \
-  -v /var/run/libvirt/:/var/run/libvirt/ \
-  -v ~/.vagrant.d:/.vagrant.d \
-  -v $(realpath "${PWD}"):${PWD} \
-  -w $(realpath "${PWD}") \
-  --network host \
-  vagrantlibvirt/vagrant-libvirt:latest \
-    vagrant status
-```
-
-It's possible to define a function in `~/.bashrc`, for example:
-```bash
-vagrant(){
-  docker run -i --rm \
-    -e LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI \
-    -v /var/run/libvirt/:/var/run/libvirt/ \
-    -v ~/.vagrant.d:/.vagrant.d \
-    -v $(realpath "${PWD}"):${PWD} \
-    -w $(realpath "${PWD}") \
-    --network host \
-    vagrantlibvirt/vagrant-libvirt:latest \
-      vagrant $@
-}
-
-```
-
-### Using Podman
-
-Preparing the podman run, only once:
-
-```bash
-mkdir -p ~/.vagrant.d/{boxes,data,tmp}
-```
-_N.B. This is needed until the entrypoint works for podman to only mount the `~/.vagrant.d` directory_
-
-To run with Podman you need to include
-
-```bash
-  --entrypoint /bin/bash \
-  --security-opt label=disable \
-  -v ~/.vagrant.d/boxes:/vagrant/boxes \
-  -v ~/.vagrant.d/data:/vagrant/data \
-  -v ~/.vagrant.d/tmp:/vagrant/tmp \
-```
-
-for example:
-
-```bash
-vagrant(){
-  podman run -it --rm \
-    -e LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI \
-    -v /var/run/libvirt/:/var/run/libvirt/ \
-    -v ~/.vagrant.d/boxes:/vagrant/boxes \
-    -v ~/.vagrant.d/data:/vagrant/data \
-    -v ~/.vagrant.d/tmp:/vagrant/tmp \
-    -v $(realpath "${PWD}"):${PWD} \
-    -w $(realpath "${PWD}") \
-    --network host \
-    --entrypoint /bin/bash \
-    --security-opt label=disable \
-    docker.io/vagrantlibvirt/vagrant-libvirt:latest \
-      vagrant $@
-}
-```
-
-Running Podman in rootless mode maps the root user inside the container to your host user so we need to bypass [entrypoint.sh](https://github.com/vagrant-libvirt/vagrant-libvirt/blob/master/entrypoint.sh) and mount persistent storage directly to `/vagrant`. 
-
-### Extending the Docker image with additional vagrant plugins
-
-By default the image published and used contains the entire tool chain required
-to reinstall the vagrant-libvirt plugin and it's dependencies, as this is the
-default behaviour of vagrant anytime a new plugin is installed. This means it
-should be possible to use a simple `FROM` statement and ask vagrant to install
-additional plugins.
-
-```
-FROM vagrantlibvirt/vagrant-libvirt:latest
-
-RUN vagrant plugin install <plugin>
-```
-
-## Installation
-
-First, you should have both QEMU and Libvirt installed if you plan to run VMs
-on your local system. For instructions, refer to your Linux distribution's
-documentation.
-
-**NOTE:** Before you start using vagrant-libvirt, please make sure your Libvirt
-and QEMU installation is working correctly and you are able to create QEMU or
-KVM type virtual machines with `virsh` or `virt-manager`.
-
-Next, you must have [Vagrant
-installed](http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/installation/index.html).
-Vagrant-libvirt supports Vagrant 2.0, 2.1 & 2.2. It should also work with earlier
-releases from 1.5 onwards but they are not actively tested.
-
-Check the [unit tests](https://github.com/vagrant-libvirt/vagrant-libvirt/blob/master/.github/workflows/unit-tests.yml)
-for the current list of tested versions.
-
-*We only test with the upstream version!* If you decide to install your distro's
-version and you run into problems, as a first step you should switch to upstream.
-
-Now you need to make sure your have all the build dependencies installed for
-vagrant-libvirt. This depends on your distro. An overview:
-
-* Ubuntu 18.10, Debian 9 and up:
-```shell
-apt-get build-dep vagrant ruby-libvirt
-apt-get install qemu libvirt-daemon-system libvirt-clients ebtables dnsmasq-base
-apt-get install libxslt-dev libxml2-dev libvirt-dev zlib1g-dev ruby-dev
-apt-get install libguestfs-tools
-```
-
-* Ubuntu 18.04, Debian 8 and older:
-```shell
-apt-get build-dep vagrant ruby-libvirt
-apt-get install qemu libvirt-bin ebtables dnsmasq-base
-apt-get install libxslt-dev libxml2-dev libvirt-dev zlib1g-dev ruby-dev
-apt-get install libguestfs-tools
-```
-
-(It is possible some users will already have libraries from the third line installed, but this is the way to make it work OOTB.)
-
-* CentOS 6, 7, Fedora 21:
-```shell
-yum install qemu libvirt libvirt-devel ruby-devel gcc qemu-kvm libguestfs-tools
-```
-
-* Fedora 22 and up:
-```shell
-dnf install -y gcc libvirt libvirt-devel libxml2-devel make ruby-devel libguestfs-tools
-```
-
-* OpenSUSE leap 15.1:
-```shell
-zypper install qemu libvirt libvirt-devel ruby-devel gcc qemu-kvm libguestfs
-```
-
-* Arch Linux: please read the related [ArchWiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vagrant#vagrant-libvirt) page.
-```shell
-pacman -S vagrant
-```
-
-Now you're ready to install vagrant-libvirt using standard [Vagrant
-plugin](http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/plugins/usage.html) installation methods.
-
-For some distributions you will need to specify `CONFIGURE_ARGS` variable before
-running `vagrant plugin install`:
-
-* Fedora 32 + upstream Vagrant:
-  ```shell
-  export CONFIGURE_ARGS="with-libvirt-include=/usr/include/libvirt with-libvirt-lib=/usr/lib64"
-  ```
-
-```shell
-vagrant plugin install vagrant-libvirt
-```
-
-### Possible problems with plugin installation on Linux
-
-In case of problems with building nokogiri and ruby-libvirt gem, install
-missing development libraries for libxslt, libxml2 and libvirt.
-
-
-On Ubuntu, Debian, make sure you are running all three of the `apt` commands above with `sudo`.
-
-
-On RedHat, Centos, Fedora, ...
-
-```shell
-$ sudo dnf install libxslt-devel libxml2-devel libvirt-devel ruby-devel gcc
-```
-
-On Arch Linux it is recommended to follow [steps from ArchWiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vagrant#vagrant-libvirt).
-
-If have problem with installation - check your linker. It should be `ld.gold`:
-
-```shell
-sudo alternatives --set ld /usr/bin/ld.gold
-# OR
-sudo ln -fs /usr/bin/ld.gold /usr/bin/ld
-```
-
-If you have issues building ruby-libvirt, try the following:
-```shell
-CONFIGURE_ARGS='with-ldflags=-L/opt/vagrant/embedded/lib with-libvirt-include=/usr/include/libvirt with-libvirt-lib=/usr/lib' GEM_HOME=~/.vagrant.d/gems GEM_PATH=$GEM_HOME:/opt/vagrant/embedded/gems PATH=/opt/vagrant/embedded/bin:$PATH vagrant plugin install vagrant-libvirt
-```
-### Additional Notes for Fedora and Similar Linux Distributions
-
-If you encounter the following load error when using the vagrant-libvirt plugin (note the required by libssh):
-
-```shell
-/opt/vagrant/embedded/lib/ruby/2.4.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `require': /opt/vagrant/embedded/lib64/libcrypto.so.1.1: version `OPENSSL_1_1_1b' not found (required by /lib64/libssh.so.4) - /home/xxx/.vagrant.d/gems/2.4.6/gems/ruby-libvirt-0.7.1/lib/_libvirt.so (LoadError)
-```
-then the following steps have been found to resolve the problem. Thanks to James Reynolds (see https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant/issues/11020#issuecomment-540043472). The specific version of libssh will change over time so references to the rpm in the commands below will need to be adjusted accordingly.
-
-```shell
-# Fedora
-dnf download --source libssh
-
-# centos 8 stream, doesn't provide source RPMs, so you need to download like so
-git clone https://git.centos.org/centos-git-common
-# centos-git-common needs its tools in PATH
-export PATH=$(readlink -f ./centos-git-common):$PATH
-git clone https://git.centos.org/rpms/libssh
-cd libssh
-git checkout imports/c8s/libssh-0.9.4-1.el8
-into_srpm.sh -d c8s
-cd SRPMS
-
-# common commands (make sure to adjust verison accordingly)
-rpm2cpio libssh-0.9.4-1c8s.src.rpm | cpio -imdV
-tar xf libssh-0.9.4.tar.xz
-mkdir build
-cd build
-cmake ../libssh-0.9.4 -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/opt/vagrant/embedded/
-make
-sudo cp lib/libssh* /opt/vagrant/embedded/lib64
-```
-
-If you encounter the following load error when using the vagrant-libvirt plugin (note the required by libk5crypto):
-
-```shell
-/opt/vagrant/embedded/lib/ruby/2.4.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `require': /usr/lib64/libk5crypto.so.3: undefined symbol: EVP_KDF_ctrl, version OPENSSL_1_1_1b - /home/rbelgrave/.vagrant.d/gems/2.4.9/gems/ruby-libvirt-0.7.1/lib/_libvirt.so (LoadError)
-```
-
-then the following steps have been found to resolve the problem. After the steps below are complete, then reinstall the vagrant-libvirt plugin without setting the `CONFIGURE_ARGS`. Thanks to Marco Bevc (see https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant/issues/11020#issuecomment-625801983):
-
-```shell
-# Fedora
-dnf download --source krb5-libs
-
-# centos 8 stream, doesn't provide source RPMs, so you need to download like so
-git clone https://git.centos.org/centos-git-common
-# make get_sources.sh executable as it is needed in krb5
-chmod +x centos-git-common/get_sources.sh 
-# centos-git-common needs its tools in PATH
-export PATH=$(readlink -f ./centos-git-common):$PATH
-git clone https://git.centos.org/rpms/krb5
-cd krb5
-git checkout imports/c8s/krb5-1.18.2-8.el8
-get_sources.sh
-into_srpm.sh -d c8s
-cd SRPMS
-
-# common commands (make sure to adjust verison accordingly)
-rpm2cpio krb5-1.18.2-8c8s.src.rpm | cpio -imdV
-tar xf krb5-1.18.2.tar.gz
-cd krb5-1.18.2/src
-./configure
-make
-sudo cp -P lib/crypto/libk5crypto.* /opt/vagrant/embedded/lib64/
-```
-
-## Vagrant Project Preparation
-
-### Add Box
-
-After installing the plugin (instructions above), the quickest way to get
-started is to add Libvirt box and specify all the details manually within a
-`config.vm.provider` block. So first, add Libvirt box using any name you want.
-You can find more Libvirt-ready boxes at
-[Vagrant Cloud](https://app.vagrantup.com/boxes/search?provider=libvirt). For
-example:
-
-```shell
-vagrant init fedora/32-cloud-base
-```
-
-### Create Vagrantfile
-
-And then make a Vagrantfile that looks like the following, filling in your
-information where necessary. For example:
-
-```ruby
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  config.vm.define :test_vm do |test_vm|
-    test_vm.vm.box = "fedora/32-cloud-base"
-  end
-end
-```
-
-### Start VM
-
-In prepared project directory, run following command:
-
-```shell
-$ vagrant up --provider=libvirt
-```
-
-Vagrant needs to know that we want to use Libvirt and not default VirtualBox.
-That's why there is `--provider=libvirt` option specified. Other way to tell
-Vagrant to use Libvirt provider is to setup environment variable
-
-```shell
-export VAGRANT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER=libvirt
-```
-
-### How Project Is Created
-
-Vagrant goes through steps below when creating new project:
-
-1. Connect to Libvirt locally or remotely via SSH.
-2. Check if box image is available in Libvirt storage pool. If not, upload it
-   to remote Libvirt storage pool as new volume.
-3. Create COW diff image of base box image for new Libvirt domain.
-4. Create and start new domain on Libvirt host.
-5. Check for DHCP lease from dnsmasq server.
-6. Wait till SSH is available.
-7. Sync folders and run Vagrant provisioner on new domain if setup in
-   Vagrantfile.
-
-### Libvirt Configuration
-
-### Provider Options
-
-Although it should work without any configuration for most people, this
-provider exposes quite a few provider-specific configuration options. The
-following options allow you to configure how vagrant-libvirt connects to
-Libvirt, and are used to generate the [Libvirt connection
-URI](http://libvirt.org/uri.html):
-
-* `driver` - A hypervisor name to access. For now only KVM and QEMU are
-  supported
-* `host` - The name of the server, where Libvirtd is running
-* `connect_via_ssh` - If use ssh tunnel to connect to Libvirt. Absolutely
-  needed to access Libvirt on remote host. It will not be able to get the IP
-  address of a started VM otherwise.
-* `username` - Username and password to access Libvirt
-* `password` - Password to access Libvirt
-* `id_ssh_key_file` - If not nil, uses this ssh private key to access Libvirt.
-  Default is `$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa`. Prepends `$HOME/.ssh/` if no directory
-* `socket` - Path to the Libvirt unix socket (e.g.
-  `/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock`)
-* `proxy_command` - For advanced usage. When connecting to remote libvirt
-  instances, if the default constructed proxy\_command which uses `-W %h:%p`
-  does not work, set this as needed. It performs interpolation using `{key}`
-  and supports only `{host}`, `{username}`, and `{id_ssh_key_file}`. This is
-  to try and avoid issues with escaping `%` and `$` which might be necessary
-  to the ssh command itself. e.g.:
-  `libvirt.proxy_command = "ssh {host} -l {username} -i {id_ssh_key_file} nc %h %p"`
-* `uri` - For advanced usage. Directly specifies what Libvirt connection URI
-  vagrant-libvirt should use. Overrides all other connection configuration
-  options
-
-In the event that none of these are set (excluding the `driver` option) the
-provider will attempt to retrieve the uri from the environment variable
-`LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI` similar to how virsh works. If any of them are set, it
-will ignore the environment variable. The reason the driver option is ignored
-is that it is not uncommon for this to be explicitly set on the box itself
-and there is no easily to determine whether it is being set by the user or
-the box packager.
-
-Connection-independent options:
-
-* `storage_pool_name` - Libvirt storage pool name, where box image and instance
-  snapshots (if `snapshot_pool_name` is not set) will be stored.
-* `snapshot_pool_name` - Libvirt storage pool name. If set, the created
-  snapshot of the instance will be stored at this location instead of
-  `storage_pool_name`.
-
-For example:
-
-```ruby
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  config.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt|
-    libvirt.host = "example.com"
-  end
-end
-```
-
-### Domain Specific Options
-
-* `title` - A short description of the domain.
-* `description` - A human readable description of the virtual machine.
-* `disk_bus` - The type of disk device to emulate. Defaults to virtio if not
-  set. Possible values are documented in Libvirt's [description for
-  _target_](http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsDisks). NOTE: this
-  option applies only to disks associated with a box image. To set the bus type
-  on additional disks, see the [Additional Disks](#additional-disks) section.
-* `disk_device` - The disk device to emulate. Defaults to vda if not
-  set, which should be fine for paravirtualized guests, but some fully
-  virtualized guests may require hda. NOTE: this option also applies only to
-  disks associated with a box image.
-* `disk_driver` - Extra options for the main disk driver ([see Libvirt documentation](http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsDisks)).
-  NOTE: this option also applies only to disks associated with a box image. In all cases, the value `nil` can be used to force the hypervisor default behaviour (e.g. to override settings defined in top-level Vagrantfiles). Supported options include:
-  * `:cache` - Controls the cache mechanism. Possible values are "default", "none", "writethrough", "writeback", "directsync" and "unsafe".
-  * `:io` - Controls specific policies on I/O. Possible values are "threads" and "native".
-  * `:copy_on_read` - Controls whether to copy read backing file into the image file. The value can be either "on" or "off".
-  * `:discard` - Controls whether discard requests (also known as "trim" or "unmap") are ignored or passed to the filesystem. Possible values are "unmap" or "ignore".
-    Note: for discard to work, you will likely also need to set `disk_bus = 'scsi'`
-  * `:detect_zeroes` - Controls whether to detect zero write requests. The value can be "off", "on" or "unmap".
-* `nic_model_type` - parameter specifies the model of the network adapter when
-  you create a domain value by default virtio KVM believe possible values, see
-  the [documentation for
-  Libvirt](https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsNICSModel).
-* `shares` - Proportional weighted share for the domain relative to others. For more details see [documentation](https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsCPUTuning).
-* `memory` - Amount of memory in MBytes. Defaults to 512 if not set.
-* `cpus` - Number of virtual cpus. Defaults to 1 if not set.
-* `cpuset` - Physical cpus to which the vcpus can be pinned. For more details see [documentation](https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsCPUAllocation).
-* `cputopology` - Number of CPU sockets, cores and threads running per core. All fields of `:sockets`, `:cores` and `:threads` are mandatory, `cpus` domain option must be present and must be equal to total count of **sockets * cores * threads**. For more details see [documentation](https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsCPU).
-* `nodeset` - Physical NUMA nodes where virtual memory can be pinned. For more details see [documentation](https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsNUMATuning).
-
-  ```ruby
-  Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-    config.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt|
-      libvirt.cpus = 4
-      libvirt.cpuset = '1-4,^3,6'
-      libvirt.cputopology :sockets => '2', :cores => '2', :threads => '1'
-    end
-  end
-  ```
-
-* `nested` - [Enable nested
-  virtualization](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/using-nested-virtualization-in-kvm/).
-  Default is false.
-* `cpu_mode` - [CPU emulation
-  mode](https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsCPU). Defaults to
-  'host-model' if not set. Allowed values: host-model, host-passthrough,
-  custom.
-* `cpu_model` - CPU Model. Defaults to 'qemu64' if not set and `cpu_mode` is
-  `custom` and to '' otherwise. This can really only be used when setting
-  `cpu_mode` to `custom`.
-* `cpu_fallback` - Whether to allow Libvirt to fall back to a CPU model close
-  to the specified model if features in the guest CPU are not supported on the
-  host. Defaults to 'allow' if not set. Allowed values: `allow`, `forbid`.
-* `numa_nodes` - Specify an array of NUMA nodes for the guest. The syntax is similar to what would be set in the domain XML. `memory` must be in MB. Symmetrical and asymmetrical topologies are supported but make sure your total count of defined CPUs adds up to `v.cpus`.
-
-  The sum of all the memory defined here will act as your total memory for your guest VM. **This sum will override what is set in `v.memory`**
-  ```
-  v.cpus = 4
-  v.numa_nodes = [
-    {:cpus => "0-1", :memory => "1024"},
-    {:cpus => "2-3", :memory => "4096"}

-  to qemu `-initrd`.
-* `random_hostname` - To create a domain name with extra information on the end
-  to prevent hostname conflicts.
-* `default_prefix` - The default Libvirt guest name becomes a concatenation of the
-   `<current_directory>_<guest_name>`. The current working directory is the default prefix
-   to the guest name. The `default_prefix` options allow you to set the guest name prefix.
-* `cmd_line` - Arguments passed on to the guest kernel initramfs or initrd to
-  use. Equivalent to qemu `-append`, only possible to use in combination with `initrd` and `kernel`.
-* `graphics_type` - Sets the protocol used to expose the guest display.
-  Defaults to `vnc`.  Possible values are "sdl", "curses", "none", "gtk", "vnc"

-  ignores graphics_port value, Defaults to 'yes'. Possible value are "yes" and
-  "no"
-* `graphics_gl` - Set to `true` to enable OpenGL. Defaults to `true` if
-`video_accel3d` is `true`.
-* `keymap` - Set keymap for vm. default: en-us
-* `kvm_hidden` - [Hide the hypervisor from the

-* `video_vram` - Used by some graphics card types to vary the amount of RAM
-  dedicated to video.  Defaults to 16384.
-* `video_accel3d` - Set to `true` to enable 3D acceleration. Defaults to
-`false`.
-* `sound_type` - [Set the virtual sound card](https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsSound)
-  Defaults to "ich6".
-* `machine_type` - Sets machine type. Equivalent to qemu `-machine`. Use
-  `qemu-system-x86_64 -machine help` to get a list of supported machines.

-* `machine_virtual_size` - Sets the disk size in GB for the machine overriding
-  the default specified in the box. Allows boxes to defined with a minimal size
-  disk by default and to be grown to a larger size at creation time. Will
-  ignore sizes smaller than the size specified by the box metadata. Note that
-  currently there is no support for automatically resizing the filesystem to
-  take advantage of the larger disk.
-* `emulator_path` - Explicitly select which device model emulator to use by
-  providing the path, e.g. `/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64`. This is especially
-  useful on systems that fail to select it automatically based on
-  `machine_arch` which then results in a capability error.
-* `boot` - Change the boot order and enables the boot menu. Possible options
-  are "hd", "network", "cdrom". Defaults to "hd" with boot menu disabled. When
-  "network" is set without "hd", only all NICs will be tried; see below for
-  more detail.
-* `nic_adapter_count` - Defaults to '8'. Only use case for increasing this
-  count is for VMs that virtualize switches such as Cumulus Linux. Max value
-  for Cumulus Linux VMs is 33.
-* `uuid` - Force a domain UUID. Defaults to autogenerated value by Libvirt if
-  not set.
-* `suspend_mode` - What is done on vagrant suspend. Possible values: 'pause',

-* `tpm_version` - The TPM version to use.
-* `dtb` - The device tree blob file, mostly used for non-x86 platforms. In case
-  the device tree isn't added in-line to the kernel, it can be manually
-  specified here.
-* `autostart` - Automatically start the domain when the host boots. Defaults to
-  'false'.
-* `channel` - [Libvirt
-  channels](https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementCharChannel).
-  Configure a private communication channel between the host and guest, e.g.
-  for use by the [QEMU guest
-  agent](http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Qemu_guest_agent) and the Spice/QXL
-  graphics type.
-* `mgmt_attach` - Decide if VM has interface in mgmt network. If set to 'false'
-  it is not possible to communicate with VM through `vagrant ssh` or run
-  provisioning. Setting to 'false' is only possible when VM doesn't use box.
-  Defaults set to 'true'.
-* `serial` - [libvirt serial devices](https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsConsole).
-  Configure a serial/console port to communicate with the guest. Can be used
-  to log to file boot time messages sent to ttyS0 console by the guest.
-
-Specific domain settings can be set for each domain separately in multi-VM
-environment. Example below shows a part of Vagrantfile, where specific options
-are set for dbserver domain.
-
-```ruby
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  config.vm.define :dbserver do |dbserver|
-    dbserver.vm.box = "centos64"
-    dbserver.vm.provider :libvirt do |domain|
-      domain.memory = 2048
-      domain.cpus = 2
-      domain.nested = true
-      domain.disk_driver :cache => 'none'
-    end
-  end
-
-  # ...
-```
-
-The following example shows part of a Vagrantfile that enables the VM to boot
-from a network interface first and a hard disk second. This could be used to
-run VMs that are meant to be a PXE booted machines. Be aware that if `hd` is
-not specified as a boot option, it will never be tried.
-
-```ruby
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  config.vm.define :pxeclient do |pxeclient|
-    pxeclient.vm.box = "centos64"
-    pxeclient.vm.provider :libvirt do |domain|
-      domain.boot 'network'
-      domain.boot 'hd'
-    end
-  end
-
-  # ...
-```
-
-#### Reload behavior
-
-On `vagrant reload` the following domain specific attributes are updated in
-defined domain:
-
-* `disk_bus` - Is updated only on disks. It skips CDROMs
-* `nic_model_type` - Updated
-* `memory` - Updated

-## Networks
-
-Networking features in the form of `config.vm.network` support private networks
-concept. It supports both the virtual network switch routing types and the
-point to point Guest OS to Guest OS setting using UDP/Mcast/TCP tunnel
-interfaces.

-Public Network interfaces are currently implemented using the macvtap driver.
-The macvtap driver is only available with the Linux Kernel version >= 2.6.24.
-See the following Libvirt documentation for the details of the macvtap usage.
-
-http://www.libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsNICSDirect
-
-An examples of network interface definitions:
-
-```ruby
-  # Private network using virtual network switching
-  config.vm.define :test_vm1 do |test_vm1|
-    test_vm1.vm.network :private_network, :ip => "10.20.30.40"
-  end
-
-  # Private network using DHCP and a custom network
-  config.vm.define :test_vm1 do |test_vm1|
-    test_vm1.vm.network :private_network,
-      :type => "dhcp",
-      :libvirt__network_address => '10.20.30.0'
-  end
-
-  # Private network (as above) using a domain name
-  config.vm.define :test_vm1 do |test_vm1|
-    test_vm1.vm.network :private_network,
-      :ip => "10.20.30.40",
-      :libvirt__domain_name => "test.local"
-  end
-
-  # Private network. Point to Point between 2 Guest OS using a TCP tunnel
-  # Guest 1
-  config.vm.define :test_vm1 do |test_vm1|
-    test_vm1.vm.network :private_network,
-      :libvirt__tunnel_type => 'server',
-      # default is 127.0.0.1 if omitted
-      # :libvirt__tunnel_ip => '127.0.0.1',
-      :libvirt__tunnel_port => '11111'
-    # network with ipv6 support
-    test_vm1.vm.network :private_network,
-      :ip => "10.20.5.42",
-      :libvirt__guest_ipv6 => "yes",
-      :libvirt__ipv6_address => "2001:db8:ca2:6::1",
-      :libvirt__ipv6_prefix => "64"
-
-  # Guest 2
-  config.vm.define :test_vm2 do |test_vm2|
-    test_vm2.vm.network :private_network,
-      :libvirt__tunnel_type => 'client',
-      # default is 127.0.0.1 if omitted
-      # :libvirt__tunnel_ip => '127.0.0.1',

-      :libvirt__ipv6_address => "2001:db8:ca2:6::1",
-      :libvirt__ipv6_prefix => "64"
-
-
-  # Public Network
-  config.vm.define :test_vm1 do |test_vm1|
-    test_vm1.vm.network :public_network,
-      :dev => "virbr0",
-      :mode => "bridge",
-      :type => "bridge"
-  end
-```
-
-In example below, one network interface is configured for VM `test_vm1`. After
-you run `vagrant up`, VM will be accessible on IP address `10.20.30.40`. So if
-you install a web server via provisioner, you will be able to access your
-testing server on `http://10.20.30.40` URL. But beware that this address is
-private to Libvirt host only. It's not visible outside of the hypervisor box.
-
-If network `10.20.30.0/24` doesn't exist, provider will create it. By default
-created networks are NATed to outside world, so your VM will be able to connect
-to the internet (if hypervisor can). And by default, DHCP is offering addresses
-on newly created networks.
-
-The second interface is created and bridged into the physical device `eth0`.
-This mechanism uses the macvtap Kernel driver and therefore does not require an
-existing bridge device. This configuration assumes that DHCP and DNS services
-are being provided by the public network. This public interface should be
-reachable by anyone with access to the public network.
-
-### Private Network Options
-
-*Note: These options are not applicable to public network interfaces.*
-
-There is a way to pass specific options for Libvirt provider when using
-`config.vm.network` to configure new network interface. Each parameter name
-starts with `libvirt__` string. Here is a list of those options:
-
-* `:libvirt__network_name` - Name of Libvirt network to connect to. By default,
-  network 'default' is used.
-* `:libvirt__netmask` - Used only together with `:ip` option. Default is
-  '255.255.255.0'.
-* `:libvirt__network_address` - Used only when `:type` is set to `dhcp`. Only `/24` subnet is supported. Default is `172.28.128.0`.
-* `:libvirt__host_ip` - Address to use for the host (not guest).  Default is
-  first possible address (after network address).
-* `:libvirt__domain_name` - DNS domain of the DHCP server. Used only
-  when creating new network.
-* `:libvirt__dhcp_enabled` - If DHCP will offer addresses, or not. Used only
-  when creating new network. Default is true.
-* `:libvirt__dhcp_start` - First address given out via DHCP.  Default is third
-  address in range (after network name and gateway).
-* `:libvirt__dhcp_stop` - Last address given out via DHCP.  Default is last
-  possible address in range (before broadcast address).
-* `:libvirt__dhcp_bootp_file` - The file to be used for the boot image.  Used
-  only when dhcp is enabled.
-* `:libvirt__dhcp_bootp_server` - The server that runs the DHCP server.  Used
-  only when dhcp is enabled.By default is the same host that runs the DHCP
-  server.
-* `:libvirt__tftp_root` - Path to the root directory served via TFTP.
-* `:libvirt__adapter` - Number specifiyng sequence number of interface.
-* `:libvirt__forward_mode` - Specify one of `veryisolated`, `none`, `open`, `nat`
-  or `route` options.  This option is used only when creating new network. Mode
-  `none` will create isolated network without NATing or routing outside. You
-  will want to use NATed forwarding typically to reach networks outside of
-  hypervisor. Routed forwarding is typically useful to reach other networks
-  within hypervisor.  `veryisolated` described
-  [here](https://libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html#examplesNoGateway).  By
-  default, option `nat` is used.
-* `:libvirt__forward_device` - Name of interface/device, where network should
-  be forwarded (NATed or routed). Used only when creating new network. By
-  default, all physical interfaces are used.
-* `:libvirt__tunnel_type` - Set to 'udp' if using UDP unicast tunnel mode
-  (libvirt v1.2.20 or higher).  Set this to either "server" or "client" for tcp
-  tunneling. Set this to 'mcast' if using multicast tunneling. This
-  configuration type uses tunnels to generate point to point connections
-  between Guests. Useful for Switch VMs like Cumulus Linux. No virtual switch
-  setting like `libvirt__network_name` applies with tunnel interfaces and will
-  be ignored if configured.
-* `:libvirt__tunnel_ip` - Sets the source IP of the Libvirt tunnel interface.
-  By default this is `127.0.0.1` for TCP and UDP tunnels and `239.255.1.1` for
-  Multicast tunnels. It populates the address field in the `<source
-  address="XXX">` of the interface xml configuration.
-* `:libvirt__tunnel_port` - Sets the source port the tcp/udp/mcast tunnel with
-  use. This port information is placed in the `<source port=XXX/>` section of
-  interface xml configuration.
-* `:libvirt__tunnel_local_port` - Sets the local port used by the udp tunnel
-  interface type. It populates the port field in the `<local port=XXX">`
-  section of the interface xml configuration. _(This feature only works in
-  Libvirt 1.2.20 and higher)_
-* `:libvirt__tunnel_local_ip` - Sets the local IP used by the udp tunnel
-  interface type. It populates the ip entry of the `<local address=XXX">`
-  section of the interface xml configuration. _(This feature only works in
-  Libvirt 1.2.20 and higher)_
-* `:libvirt__guest_ipv6` - Enable or disable guest-to-guest IPv6 communication.
-  See [here](https://libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html#examplesPrivate6), and
-  [here](http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commitdiff;h=705e67d40b09a905cd6a4b8b418d5cb94eaa95a8)
-  for for more information. *Note: takes either 'yes' or 'no' for value*
-* `:libvirt__ipv6_address` - Define ipv6 address, require also prefix.
-* `:libvirt__ipv6_prefix` - Define ipv6 prefix. generate string `<ip family="ipv6" address="address" prefix="prefix" >`
-* `:libvirt__iface_name` - Define a name for the private network interface.
-  With this feature one can [simulate physical link
-  failures](https://github.com/vagrant-libvirt/vagrant-libvirt/pull/498)
-* `:mac` - MAC address for the interface. *Note: specify this in lowercase
-  since Vagrant network scripts assume it will be!*
-* `:libvirt__mtu` - MTU size for the Libvirt network, if not defined, the
-  created network will use the Libvirt default (1500). VMs still need to set the
-  MTU accordingly.
-* `:model_type` - parameter specifies the model of the network adapter when you
-  create a domain value by default virtio KVM believe possible values, see the
-  documentation for Libvirt
-* `:libvirt__driver_name` - Define which network driver to use. [More
-  info](https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsDriverBackendOptions)
-* `:libvirt__driver_queues` - Define a number of queues to be used for network
-  interface. Set equal to numer of vCPUs for best performance. [More
-  info](http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Multiqueue)
-* `:autostart` - Automatic startup of network by the Libvirt daemon.
-  If not specified the default is 'false'.
-* `:bus` - The bus of the PCI device. Both :bus and :slot have to be defined.
-* `:slot` - The slot of the PCI device. Both :bus and :slot have to be defined.
-* `:libvirt__always_destroy` - Allow domains that use but did not create a
-  network to destroy it when the domain is destroyed (default: `true`). Set to
-  `false` to only allow the domain that created the network to destroy it.
-
-When the option `:libvirt__dhcp_enabled` is to to 'false' it shouldn't matter
-whether the virtual network contains a DHCP server or not and vagrant-libvirt
-should not fail on it. The only situation where vagrant-libvirt should fail is
-when DHCP is requested but isn't configured on a matching already existing
-virtual network.
-
-### Public Network Options
-
-* `:dev` - Physical device that the public interface should use. Default is
-  'eth0'.
-* `:mode` - The mode in which the public interface should operate in. Supported
-  modes are available from the [libvirt
-  documentation](http://www.libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsNICSDirect).
-  Default mode is 'bridge'.
-* `:type` - is type of interface.(`<interface type="#{@type}">`)
-* `:mac` - MAC address for the interface.
-* `:network_name` - Name of Libvirt network to connect to.
-* `:portgroup` - Name of Libvirt portgroup to connect to.

-  'false'.
-* :ovs_interfaceid - Add Open vSwitch 'interfaceid' parameter.
-* `:trust_guest_rx_filters` - Support trustGuestRxFilters attribute. Details
-  are listed [here](http://www.libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsNICSDirect).
-  Default is 'false'.
-
-### Management Network
-
-vagrant-libvirt uses a private network to perform some management operations on
-VMs. All VMs will have an interface connected to this network and an IP address
-dynamically assigned by Libvirt unless you set `:mgmt_attach` to 'false'.
-This is in addition to any networks you configure. The name and address
-used by this network are configurable at the provider level.
-
-* `management_network_name` - Name of Libvirt network to which all VMs will be
-  connected. If not specified the default is 'vagrant-libvirt'.
-* `management_network_address` - Address of network to which all VMs will be
-  connected. Must include the address and subnet mask. If not specified the
-  default is '192.168.121.0/24'.
-* `management_network_mode` - Network mode for the Libvirt management network.
-  Specify one of veryisolated, none, open, nat or route options. Further
-  documented under [Private Networks](#private-network-options)
-* `management_network_guest_ipv6` - Enable or disable guest-to-guest IPv6
-  communication. See
-  [here](https://libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html#examplesPrivate6), and
-  [here](http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commitdiff;h=705e67d40b09a905cd6a4b8b418d5cb94eaa95a8)
-  for for more information.
-* `management_network_autostart` - Automatic startup of mgmt network, if not
-  specified the default is 'false'.
-* `management_network_pci_bus` -  The bus of the PCI device.
-* `management_network_pci_slot` -  The slot of the PCI device.
-* `management_network_mac` - MAC address of management network interface.
-* `management_network_domain` - Domain name assigned to the management network.
-* `management_network_mtu` - MTU size of management network. If not specified,
-  the Libvirt default (1500) will be used.
-* `management_network_keep` - Starting from version *0.7.0*, *always_destroy* is set to *true* by default for any network.
-  This option allows to change this behaviour for the management network.
-
-You may wonder how vagrant-libvirt knows the IP address a VM received.  Libvirt
-doesn't provide a standard way to find out the IP address of a running domain.
-But we do know the MAC address of the virtual machine's interface on the
-management network. Libvirt is closely connected with dnsmasq, which acts as a
-DHCP server. dnsmasq writes lease information in the `/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq`
-directory. Vagrant-libvirt looks for the MAC address in this file and extracts
-the corresponding IP address.
-
-It is also possible to use the Qemu Agent to extract the management interface
-configuration from the booted virtual machine. This is helpful in libvirt
-environments where no local dnsmasq is used for automatic address assigment,
-but external dhcp services via bridged libvirt networks.
-
-Prerequisite is to enable the qemu agent channel via ([Libvirt communication
-channels](#libvirt-communication-channels)) and the virtual machine image must
-have the agent pre-installed before deploy. The agent will start automatically
-if it detects an attached channel during boot.
-
-* `qemu_use_agent` - false by default, if set to true, attempt to extract configured
-  ip address via qemu agent.
-
-By default if `qemu_use_agent` is set to `true` the code will automatically
-inject a suitable channel unless there already exists an entry with a
-`:target_name` matching `'org.qemu.guest_agent.'`.
-Alternatively if setting `qemu_use_agent` but, needing to disable the addition
-of the channel, simply use a disabled flag as follows:
-```ruby
-Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
-  config.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt|
-    libvirt.channel :type => 'unix', :target_name => 'org.qemu.guest_agent.0', :disabled => true
-  end
-end
-```
-
-To use the management network interface with an external dhcp service you need
-to setup a bridged host network manually and define it via
-`management_network_name` in your Vagrantfile.
-
-## Additional Disks
-
-You can create and attach additional disks to a VM via `libvirt.storage :file`.
-It has a number of options:
-
-* `path` - Location of the disk image. If unspecified, a path is automtically
-  chosen in the same storage pool as the VMs primary disk.
-* `device` - Name of the device node the disk image will have in the VM, e.g.
-  *vdb*. If unspecified, the next available device is chosen.
-* `size` - Size of the disk image. If unspecified, defaults to 10G.
-* `type` - Type of disk image to create. Defaults to *qcow2*.
-* `bus` - Type of bus to connect device to. Defaults to *virtio*.
-* `allow_existing` - Set to true if you want to allow the VM to use a
-  pre-existing disk. If the disk doesn't exist it will be created.
-  Disks with this option set to true need to be removed manually.
-* `shareable` - Set to true if you want to simulate shared SAN storage.
-* `serial` - Serial number of the disk device.
-* `wwn` - WWN number of the disk device.
-
-The following disk performance options can also be configured
-(see the [libvirt documentation for possible values](http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsDisks)
-or [here](https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles11/book_kvm/data/sect1_chapter_book_kvm.html) for a fuller explanation).
-In all cases, the options use the hypervisor default if not specified, or if set to `nil`.
-
-* `cache` - Cache mode to use. Value may be `default`, `none`, `writeback`, `writethrough`, `directsync` or `unsafe`.
-* `io` - Controls specific policies on I/O. Value may be `threads` or `native`.
-* `copy_on_read` - Controls whether to copy read backing file into the image file. Value may be `on` or `off`.
-* `discard` - Controls whether discard requests (also known as "trim" or "unmap") are ignored or passed to the filesystem. Value may be `unmap` or `ignore`.
-  Note: for discard to work, you will likely also need to set `:bus => 'scsi'`
-* `detect_zeroes` - Controls whether to detect zero write requests. Value may be `off`, `on` or `unmap`.
-
-The following example creates two additional disks.
-
-```ruby
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  config.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt|
-    libvirt.storage :file, :size => '20G'
-    libvirt.storage :file, :size => '40G', :bus => 'scsi', :type => 'raw', :discard => 'unmap', :detect_zeroes => 'on'
-  end
-end
-```
-
-For shared SAN storage to work the following example can be used:
-```ruby
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  config.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt|
-    libvirt.storage :file, :size => '20G', :path => 'my_shared_disk.img', :allow_existing => true, :shareable => true, :type => 'raw'
-  end
-end
-```
-
-### Reload behavior
-
-On `vagrant reload` the following additional disk attributes are updated in
-defined domain:
-
-* `bus` - Updated. Uses `device` as a search marker. It is not required to
-  define `device`, but it's recommended. If `device` is defined then the order
-  of addtitional disk definition becomes irrelevant.
-
-## CDROMs
-
-You can attach up to four CDROMs to a VM via `libvirt.storage :file,
-:device => :cdrom`. Available options are:
-
-* `path` - The path to the iso to be used for the CDROM drive.
-* `dev` - The device to use (`hda`, `hdb`, `hdc`, or `hdd`). This will be
-  automatically determined if unspecified.
-* `bus` - The bus to use for the CDROM drive. Defaults to `ide`
-
-The following example creates three CDROM drives in the VM:
-
-```ruby
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  config.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt|
-    libvirt.storage :file, :device => :cdrom, :path => '/path/to/iso1.iso'
-    libvirt.storage :file, :device => :cdrom, :path => '/path/to/iso2.iso'
-    libvirt.storage :file, :device => :cdrom, :path => '/path/to/iso3.iso'
-  end
-end
-```
-
-## Input
-
-You can specify multiple inputs to the VM via `libvirt.input`. Available
-options are listed below. Note that both options are required:
-
-* `type` - The type of the input
-* `bus` - The bus of the input
-
-```ruby
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  config.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt|
-    # this is the default
-    # libvirt.input :type => "mouse", :bus => "ps2"
-
-    # very useful when having mouse issues when viewing VM via VNC
-    libvirt.input :type => "tablet", :bus => "usb"
-  end
-end
-```
-
-## PCI device passthrough
-
-You can specify multiple PCI devices to passthrough to the VM via
-`libvirt.pci`. Available options are listed below. Note that all options are
-required, except domain, which defaults to `0x0000`:
-
-* `domain` - The domain of the PCI device
-* `bus` - The bus of the PCI device
-* `slot` - The slot of the PCI device
-* `function` - The function of the PCI device
-
-You can extract that information from output of `lspci` command. First
-characters of each line are in format `[<domain>]:[<bus>]:[<slot>].[<func>]`. For example:
-
-```shell
-$ lspci| grep NVIDIA
-0000:03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK110B [GeForce GTX TITAN Black] (rev a1)
-```
-
-In that case `domain` is `0x0000`, `bus` is `0x03`, `slot` is `0x00` and `function` is `0x0`.
-
-```ruby
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  config.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt|
-    libvirt.pci :domain => '0x0000', :bus => '0x06', :slot => '0x12', :function => '0x5'
-
-    # Add another one if it is neccessary
-    libvirt.pci :domain => '0x0000', :bus => '0x03', :slot => '0x00', :function => '0x0'
-  end
-end
-```
-
-Note! Above options affect configuration only at domain creation. It won't change VM behaviour on `vagrant reload` after domain was created.
-
-Don't forget to [set](#domain-specific-options) `kvm_hidden` option to `true` especially if you are passthroughing NVIDIA GPUs. Otherwise GPU is visible from VM but cannot be operated.
-
-
-## 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 => "qemu-xhci"
-  end
-end
-```
-
-See the [libvirt documentation](https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsControllers) for a list of valid models.
-
-If any USB devices are passed through by setting `libvirt.usb` or `libvirt.redirdev`, a default controller will be added using the model `qemu-xhci` in the absence of a user specified one. This should help ensure more devices work out of the box as the default configured by libvirt is pii3-uhci, which appears to only work for USB 1 devices and does not work as expected when connected via a USB 2 controller, while the xhci stack should work for all versions of USB.
-
-### USB Device Passthrough
-
-You can specify multiple USB devices to passthrough to the VM via
-`libvirt.usb`. The device can be specified by the following options:
-
-* `bus` - The USB bus ID, e.g. "1"
-* `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`:
-
-```
-Bus 001 Device 002: ID 1234:abcd Example device
-```
-
-```ruby
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  config.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt|
-    # pass through specific device based on identifying it
-    libvirt.usb :vendor => '0x1234', :product => '0xabcd'
-    # pass through a host device where multiple of the same vendor/product exist
-    libvirt.usb :bus => '1', :device => '1'
-  end
-end
-```
-
-Additionally, the following options can be used:
-
-* `startupPolicy` - Is passed through to Libvirt and controls if the device has
-  to exist.  Libvirt currently allows the following values: "mandatory",
-  "requisite", "optional".
-
-
-### USB Redirector Devices
-You can specify multiple redirect devices via `libvirt.redirdev`. There are two types, `tcp` and `spicevmc` supported, for forwarding USB-devices to the guest. Available options are listed below.
-
-* `type` - The type of the USB redirector device. (`tcp` or `spicevmc`)
-* `host` - The host where the device is attached to. (mandatory for type `tcp`)
-* `port` - The port where the device is listening. (mandatory for type `tcp`)
-
-```ruby
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  config.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt|
-    # add two devices using spicevmc channel
-    (1..2).each do
-      libvirt.redirdev :type => "spicevmc"
-    end
-    # add device, provided by localhost:4000
-    libvirt.redirdev :type => "tcp", :host => "localhost", :port => "4000"
-  end
-end
-```
-
-Note that in order to enable USB redirection with Spice clients,
-you may need to also set `libvirt.graphics_type = "spice"`
-
-#### Filter for USB Redirector Devices
-You can define filter for redirected devices. These filters can be positiv or negative, by setting the mandatory option `allow=yes` or `allow=no`. All available options are listed below. Note the option `allow` is mandatory.
-
-* `class` - The device class of the USB device. A list of device classes is available on [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#Device_classes).
-* `vendor` - The vendor of the USB device.
-* `product` - The product id of the USB device.
-* `version` - The version of the USB device. Note that this is the version of `bcdDevice`
-* `allow` - allow or disallow redirecting this device. (mandatory)
-
-You can extract that information from output of `lsusb` command. Every line contains the information in format `Bus [<bus>] Device [<device>]: ID [<vendor>:[<product>]`. The `version` can be extracted from the detailed output of the device using `lsusb -D /dev/usb/[<bus>]/[<device>]`. For example:
-
-```shell
-# get bcdDevice from
-$: lsusb
-Bus 001 Device 009: ID 08e6:3437 Gemalto (was Gemplus) GemPC Twin SmartCard Reader
-
-$: lsusb -D /dev/bus/usb/001/009 | grep bcdDevice
-  bcdDevice            2.00
-```
-
-In this case, the USB device with `class 0x0b`, `vendor 0x08e6`, `product 0x3437` and `bcdDevice version 2.00` is allowed to be redirected to the guest. All other devices will be refused.
-
-```ruby
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  config.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt|
-    libvirt.redirdev :type => "spicevmc"
-    libvirt.redirfilter :class => "0x0b", :vendor => "0x08e6", :product => "0x3437", :version => "2.00", :allow => "yes"
-    libvirt.redirfilter :allow => "no"
-  end
-end
-```
-
-## Serial Console Devices
-You can define settings to redirect output from the serial console of any VM brought up with libvirt to a file or other devices that are listening. [See libvirt documentation](https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementCharSerial).
-
-Currently only redirecting to a file is supported.
-
-* `type` - only value that has an effect is file, in the future support may be added for virtual console, pty, dev, pipe, tcp, udp, unix socket, spiceport & nmdm.
-* `source` - options pertaining to how the connection attaches to the host, contains sub-settings dependent on `type`.
-  `source` options for type `file`
-  * `path` - file on host to connect to the serial port to record all output. May be created by qemu system user causing some permissions issues.
-
-```ruby
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  config.vm.define :test do |test|
-    test.vm.provider :libvirt do |domain|
-      domain.serial :type => "file", :source => {:path => "/var/log/vm_consoles/test.log"}
-    end
-  end
-end
-```
-
-## Random number generator passthrough
-
-You can pass through `/dev/random` to your VM by configuring the domain like this:
-
-```ruby
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  config.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt|
-    # Pass through /dev/random from the host to the VM
-    libvirt.random :model => 'random'
-  end
-end
-```
-
-At the moment only the `random` backend is supported.
-
-## Watchdog device
-A virtual hardware watchdog device can be added to the guest via the `libvirt.watchdog` element. The option `model` is mandatory and could have on of the following values.
-
-* `i6300esb` - the recommended device, emulating a PCI Intel 6300ESB
-* 'ib700` - emulating an ISA iBase IB700
-* `diag288` - emulating an S390 DIAG288 device
-
-The optional action attribute describes what `action` to take when the watchdog expires. Valid values are specific to the underlying hypervisor. The default behavior is `reset`.
-
-* `reset` - default, forcefully reset the guest
-* `shutdown` - gracefully shutdown the guest (not recommended)
-* `poweroff` - forcefully power off the guest
-* `pause` - pause the guest
-* `none` - do nothing
-* `dump` - automatically dump the guest
-* `inject-nmi` - inject a non-maskable interrupt into the guest
-
-```ruby
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  config.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt|
-    # Add Libvirt watchdog device model i6300esb
-    libvirt.watchdog :model => 'i6300esb', :action => 'reset'
-  end
-end
-```
-
-## Smartcard device
-A virtual smartcard device can be supplied to the guest via the `libvirt.smartcard` element. The option `mode` is mandatory and currently only value `passthrough` is supported. The value `spicevmc` for option `type` is default value and can be supressed. On using `type = tcp`, the options `source_mode`, `source_host` and `source_service` are mandatory.
-
-```ruby
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  config.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt|
-    # Add smartcard device with type 'spicevmc'
-    libvirt.smartcard :mode => 'passthrough', :type => 'spicevmc'
-  end
-end
-```
-
-```ruby
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  config.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt|
-    # Add smartcard device with type 'tcp'
-    domain.smartcard :mode => 'passthrough', :type => 'tcp', :source_mode => 'bind', :source_host => '127.0.0.1', :source_service => '2001'
-  end
-end
-```
-## Hypervisor Features
-
-Hypervisor features can be specified via `libvirt.features` as a list. The default
-options that are enabled are `acpi`, `apic` and `pae`. If you define `libvirt.features`
-you overwrite the defaults, so keep that in mind.
-
-An example:
-
-```ruby
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  config.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt|
-    # Specify the default hypervisor features
-    libvirt.features = ['acpi', 'apic', 'pae' ]
-  end
-end
-```
-
-A different example for ARM boards:
-
-```ruby
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  config.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt|
-    # Specify the default hypervisor features
-    libvirt.features = ["apic", "gic version='2'" ]
-  end
-end
-```
-
-You can also specify a special set of features that help improve the behavior of guests
-running Microsoft Windows.
-
-You can specify HyperV features via `libvirt.hyperv_feature`. Available
-options are listed below. Note that both options are required:
-
-* `name` - The name of the feature Hypervisor feature (see Libvirt doc)
-* `state` - The state for this feature which can be either `on` or `off`.
-
-```ruby
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  config.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt|
-    # Relax constraints on timers
-    libvirt.hyperv_feature :name => 'relaxed', :state => 'on'
-    # Enable virtual APIC
-    libvirt.hyperv_feature :name => 'vapic', :state => 'on'
-    # Enable spinlocks (requires retries to be specified)
-    libvirt.hyperv_feature :name => 'spinlocks', :state => 'on', :retries => '8191'
-  end
-end
-```
-
-## Clock
-
-Clock offset can be specified via `libvirt.clock_offset`. (Default is utc)
-
-Additionally timers can be specified via `libvirt.clock_timer`.
-Available options for timers are: name, track, tickpolicy, frequency, mode,  present
-
-```ruby
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  config.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt|
-    # Set clock offset to localtime
-    libvirt.clock_offset = 'localtime'
-    # Timers ...
-    libvirt.clock_timer :name => 'rtc', :tickpolicy => 'catchup'
-    libvirt.clock_timer :name => 'pit', :tickpolicy => 'delay'
-    libvirt.clock_timer :name => 'hpet', :present => 'no'
-    libvirt.clock_timer :name => 'hypervclock', :present => 'yes'
-  end
-end
-```
-
-## CPU features
-
-You can specify CPU feature policies via `libvirt.cpu_feature`. Available
-options are listed below. Note that both options are required:
-
-* `name` - The name of the feature for the chosen CPU (see Libvirt's
-  `cpu_map.xml`)
-* `policy` - The policy for this feature (one of `force`, `require`,
-  `optional`, `disable` and `forbid` - see Libvirt documentation)
-
-```ruby
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  config.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt|
-    # The feature will not be supported by virtual CPU.
-    libvirt.cpu_feature :name => 'hypervisor', :policy => 'disable'
-    # Guest creation will fail unless the feature is supported by host CPU.
-    libvirt.cpu_feature :name => 'vmx', :policy => 'require'
-    # The virtual CPU will claim the feature is supported regardless of it being supported by host CPU.
-    libvirt.cpu_feature :name => 'pdpe1gb', :policy => 'force'
-  end
-end
-```
-
-## Memory Backing
-
-You can specify memoryBacking options via `libvirt.memorybacking`. Available options are shown below. Full documentation is available at the [libvirt _memoryBacking_ section](https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsMemoryBacking).
-
-NOTE: The hugepages `<page>` element is not yet supported
-
-```ruby
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  config.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt|
-    libvirt.memorybacking :hugepages
-    libvirt.memorybacking :nosharepages
-    libvirt.memorybacking :locked
-    libvirt.memorybacking :source, :type => 'file'
-    libvirt.memorybacking :access, :mode => 'shared'
-    libvirt.memorybacking :allocation, :mode => 'immediate'
-  end
-end
-```
-
-## No box and PXE boot
-
-There is support for PXE booting VMs with no disks as well as PXE booting VMs
-with blank disks. There are some limitations:
-
-* Requires Vagrant 1.6.0 or newer
-* No provisioning scripts are ran
-* No network configuration is being applied to the VM
-* No SSH connection can be made
-* `vagrant halt` will only work cleanly if the VM handles ACPI shutdown signals
-
-In short, VMs without a box can be created, halted and destroyed but all other
-functionality cannot be used.
-
-An example for a PXE booted VM with no disks whatsoever:
-
-```ruby
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  config.vm.define :pxeclient do |pxeclient|
-    pxeclient.vm.provider :libvirt do |domain|
-      domain.boot 'network'
-    end
-  end
-end
-```
-
-And an example for a PXE booted VM with no box but a blank disk which will boot from this HD if the NICs fail to PXE boot:
-
-```ruby
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  config.vm.define :pxeclient do |pxeclient|
-    pxeclient.vm.provider :libvirt do |domain|
-      domain.storage :file, :size => '100G', :type => 'qcow2'
-      domain.boot 'network'
-      domain.boot 'hd'
-    end
-  end
-end
-```
-
-Example for vm with 2 networks and only 1 is bootable and has dhcp server in this subnet, for example foreman with dhcp server
-Name of network "foreman_managed" is key for define boot order
-```ruby
-    config.vm.define :pxeclient do |pxeclient|
-      pxeclient.vm.network :private_network,ip: '10.0.0.5',
-            libvirt__network_name: "foreman_managed",
-            libvirt__dhcp_enabled: false,
-            libvirt__host_ip: '10.0.0.1'
-
-       pxeclient.vm.provider :libvirt do |domain|
-          domain.memory = 1000
-          boot_network = {'network' => 'foreman_managed'}
-          domain.storage :file, :size => '100G', :type => 'qcow2'
-          domain.boot boot_network
-          domain.boot 'hd'
-        end
-      end
-```
-
-An example VM that is PXE booted from the `br1` device (which must already be configured in the host machine), and if that fails, is booted from the disk:
-
-```ruby
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  config.vm.define :pxeclient do |pxeclient|
-    pxeclient.vm.network :public_network,
-      dev: 'br1',
-      auto_config: false
-    pxeclient.vm.provider :libvirt do |domain|
-      boot_network = {'dev' => 'br1'}
-      domain.storage :file, :size => '100G'
-      domain.boot boot_network
-      domain.boot 'hd'
-    end
-  end
-end
-```
-
-## SSH Access To VM
-
-vagrant-libvirt supports vagrant's [standard ssh
-settings](https://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/vagrantfile/ssh_settings.html).
-
-## Forwarded Ports
-
-vagrant-libvirt supports Forwarded Ports via ssh port forwarding. Please note
-that due to a well known limitation only the TCP protocol is supported. For
-each `forwarded_port` directive you specify in your Vagrantfile,
-vagrant-libvirt will maintain an active ssh process for the lifetime of the VM.
-If your VM should happen to be rebooted, the SSH session will need to be
-restablished by halting the VM and bringing it back up.
-
-vagrant-libvirt supports an additional `forwarded_port` option `gateway_ports`
-which defaults to `false`, but can be set to `true` if you want the forwarded
-port to be accessible from outside the Vagrant host.  In this case you should
-also set the `host_ip` option to `'*'` since it defaults to `'localhost'`.
-
-You can also provide a custom adapter to forward from by 'adapter' option.
-Default is `eth0`.
-
-**Internally Accessible Port Forward**
-
-`config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 80, host: 2000`
-
-**Externally Accessible Port Forward**
-
-`config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 80, host: 2000, host_ip: "0.0.0.0"`
-
-### Forwarding the ssh-port
-
-Vagrant-libvirt now supports forwarding the standard ssh-port on port 2222 from
-the localhost to allow for consistent provisioning steps/ports to be used when
-defining across multiple providers.
-
-To enable, set the following:
-```ruby
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  config.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt|
-    # Enable forwarding of forwarded_port with id 'ssh'.
-    libvirt.forward_ssh_port = true
-  end
-end
-```
-
-Previously by default libvirt skipped the forwarding of the ssh-port because
-you can access the machine directly. In the future it is expected that this
-will be enabled by default once autocorrect support is added to handle port
-collisions for multi machine environments gracefully.
-
-## Synced Folders
-
-Vagrant automatically syncs the project folder on the host to `/vagrant` in
-the guest. You can also configure additional synced folders.
-
-**SECURITY NOTE:** for remote Libvirt, nfs synced folders requires a bridged
-public network interface and you must connect to Libvirt via ssh.
-
-**NFS**
-
-`vagrant-libvirt` supports
-[NFS](https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/synced-folders/nfs) as default with
-bidirectional synced folders.
-
-Example with NFS:
-
-``` ruby
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  config.vm.synced_folder "./", "/vagrant"
-end
-```
-

-**9P**
-
-`vagrant-libvirt` supports [VirtFS](http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/VirtFS) ([9p
-or Plan 9](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9P_\(protocol\))) with bidirectional
-synced folders.
-
-Difference between NFS and 9p is explained
-[here](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/240281/virtfs-plan-9-vs-nfs-as-tool-for-share-folder-for-virtual-machine).
-
-For 9p shares, a `mount: false` option allows to define synced folders without
-mounting them at boot.
-
-Example for `accessmode: "squash"` with 9p:
-
-``` ruby
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  config.vm.synced_folder "./", "/vagrant", type: "9p", disabled: false, accessmode: "squash", owner: "1000"

-So far, passthrough is the only supported access mode and it requires running
-the virtiofsd daemon as root.
-
-QEMU needs to allocate the backing memory for all the guest RAM as shared
-memory, e.g. [Use file-backed
-memory](https://libvirt.org/kbase/virtiofs.html#host-setup) by enable
-`memory_backing_dir` option in `/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf`:

-```
-
-Example for Libvirt \>= 6.2.0 (e.g. Ubuntu 20.10 with Linux 5.8.0 + QEMU 5.0 +
-Libvirt 6.6.0, i.e. NUMA nodes required) with virtiofs:
-
-``` ruby
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  config.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt|
-    libvirt.cpus = 2
-    libvirt.numa_nodes = [{ :cpus => "0-1", :memory => 8192, :memAccess => "shared" }]

-## 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>`.
-```
-allow virbr0
-```
-
-An example configuration of a machine using the QEMU session connection:
-
-```ruby
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  config.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt|
-    # Use QEMU session instead of system connection
-    libvirt.qemu_use_session = true
-    # URI of QEMU session connection, default is as below
-    libvirt.uri = 'qemu:///session'
-    # URI of QEMU system connection, use to obtain IP address for management, default is below
-    libvirt.system_uri = 'qemu:///system'
-    # Path to store Libvirt images for the virtual machine, default is as ~/.local/share/libvirt/images
-    libvirt.storage_pool_path = '/home/user/.local/share/libvirt/images'
-    # Management network device, default is below
-    libvirt.management_network_device = 'virbr0'
-  end
-
-  # Public network configuration using existing network device
-  # Note: Private networks do not work with QEMU session enabled as root access is required to create new network devices
-  config.vm.network :public_network, :dev => "virbr1",
-      :mode => "bridge",
-      :type => "bridge"
-end
-```
-
-## Customized Graphics
-
-vagrant-libvirt supports customizing the display and video settings of the
-managed guest.  This is probably most useful for VNC-type displays with
-multiple guests.  It lets you specify the exact port for each guest to use
-deterministically.
-
-Here is an example of using custom display options:
-
-```ruby
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  config.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt|
-    libvirt.graphics_port = 5901
-    libvirt.graphics_ip = '0.0.0.0'
-    libvirt.video_type = 'qxl'
-  end
-end
-```
-
-## TPM Devices
-
-Modern versions of Libvirt support connecting to TPM devices on the host
-system. This allows you to enable Trusted Boot Extensions, among other
-features, on your guest VMs.
-
-To passthrough a hardware TPM, you will generally only need to modify the
-`tpm_path` variable in your guest configuration. However, advanced usage,
-such as the application of a Software TPM, may require modifying the
-`tpm_model`, `tpm_type` and `tpm_version` variables.
-
-The TPM options will only be used if you specify a TPM path or version.
-Declarations of any TPM options without specifying a path or version will
-result in those options being ignored.
-
-Here is an example of using the TPM options:
-
-```ruby
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  config.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt|
-    libvirt.tpm_model = 'tpm-tis'
-    libvirt.tpm_type = 'passthrough'
-    libvirt.tpm_path = '/dev/tpm0'
-  end
-end
-```
-
-It's also possible for Libvirt to start an emulated TPM device on the host.
-Requires `swtpm` and `swtpm-tools`
-
-```ruby
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  config.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt|
-    libvirt.tpm_model = "tpm-crb"
-    libvirt.tpm_type = "emulator"
-    libvirt.tpm_version = "2.0"
-  end
-end
-```
-
-## Memory balloon
-
-The configuration of the memory balloon device can be overridden. By default,
-libvirt will automatically attach a memory balloon; this behavior is preserved
-by not configuring any memballoon-related options. The memory balloon can be
-explicitly disabled by setting `memballoon_enabled` to `false`. Setting
-`memballoon_enabled` to `true` will allow additional configuration of
-memballoon-related options.
-
-Here is an example of using the memballoon options:
-
-```ruby
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  config.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt|
-    libvirt.memballoon_enabled = true
-    libvirt.memballoon_model = 'virtio'
-    libvirt.memballoon_pci_bus = '0x00'
-    libvirt.memballoon_pci_slot = '0x0f'
-  end
-end
-```
-
-## Libvirt communication channels
-
-For certain functionality to be available within a guest, a private
-communication channel must be established with the host. Two notable examples
-of this are the QEMU guest agent, and the Spice/QXL graphics type.
-
-Below is a simple example which exposes a virtio serial channel to the guest.
-Note: in a multi-VM environment, the channel would be created for all VMs.
-
-```ruby
-vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
-  config.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt|
-    libvirt.channel :type => 'unix', :target_name => 'org.qemu.guest_agent.0', :target_type => 'virtio'
-  end
-end
-```
-
-Below is the syntax for creating a spicevmc channel for use by a qxl graphics
-card.
-
-```ruby
-vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
-  config.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt|
-    libvirt.channel :type => 'spicevmc', :target_name => 'com.redhat.spice.0', :target_type => 'virtio'
-  end
-end
-```
-
-These settings can be specified on a per-VM basis, however the per-guest
-settings will OVERRIDE any global 'config' setting. In the following example,
-we create 3 VMs with the following configuration:
-
-* **master**: No channel settings specified, so we default to the provider
-  setting of a single virtio guest agent channel.
-* **node1**: Override the channel setting, setting both the guest agent
-  channel, and a spicevmc channel
-* **node2**: Override the channel setting, setting both the guest agent
-  channel, and a 'guestfwd' channel. TCP traffic sent by the guest to the given
-  IP address and port is forwarded to the host socket `/tmp/foo`. Note: this
-  device must be unique for each VM.
-
-For example:
-
-```ruby
-Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
-  config.vm.box = "fedora/32-cloud-base"
-  config.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt|
-    libvirt.channel :type => 'unix', :target_name => 'org.qemu.guest_agent.0', :target_type => 'virtio'
-  end
-
-  config.vm.define "master" do |master|
-    master.vm.provider :libvirt do |domain|
-        domain.memory = 1024
-    end
-  end
-  config.vm.define "node1" do |node1|
-    node1.vm.provider :libvirt do |domain|
-      domain.channel :type => 'unix', :target_name => 'org.qemu.guest_agent.0', :target_type => 'virtio'
-      domain.channel :type => 'spicevmc', :target_name => 'com.redhat.spice.0', :target_type => 'virtio'
-    end
-  end
-  config.vm.define "node2" do |node2|
-    node2.vm.provider :libvirt do |domain|
-      domain.channel :type => 'unix', :target_name => 'org.qemu.guest_agent.0', :target_type => 'virtio'
-      domain.channel :type => 'unix', :target_type => 'guestfwd', :target_address => '192.0.2.42', :target_port => '4242',
-                     :source_path => '/tmp/foo'
-    end
-  end
-end
-```
-
-## Custom command line arguments and environment variables
-You can also specify multiple qemuargs arguments or qemuenv environment variables for qemu-system
-
-* `value` - Value
-
-```ruby
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  config.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt|
-    libvirt.qemuargs :value => "-device"
-    libvirt.qemuargs :value => "intel-iommu"
-    libvirt.qemuenv QEMU_AUDIO_DRV: 'pa'
-    libvirt.qemuenv QEMU_AUDIO_TIMER_PERIOD: '150'
-    libvirt.qemuenv QEMU_PA_SAMPLES: '1024', QEMU_PA_SERVER: '/run/user/1000/pulse/native'
-  end
-end
-```

-### Version 2 (Experimental)
+## Index
 
-Due to the limitation of only being able to handle a single disk with the version 1 format, a new
-format was added to support boxes that need to specify multiple disks. This is still currently
-experimental and as such support for packaging has yet to be added. There is a script in the tools
-folder (tools/create_box_with_two_disks.sh) that should provide a guideline on how to create such
-a box for those that wish to experiment and provide early feedback.
+<!-- vim-markdown-toc GFM -->
 
-At it's most basic, it expects an array of disks to allow a specific order to be presented. Disks
-will be attached in this order and as such assume device names base on this within the VM. The
-'path' attribute is required, and is expected to be relative to the base of the box. This should
-allow placing the disk images within a nested directory within the box if it useful for those
-with a larger number of disks. The name allows overriding the target volume name that will be
-used in the libvirt storage pool. Note that vagrant-libvirt will still prefix the volume name
-with `#{box_name}_vagrant_box_image_#{box_version}_` to avoid accidental clashes with other boxes.

+## Installing
 
-## Create Box
+Installation typically involves a number of distribution package dependencies to ensure that Libvirt is available.
+Recommend that you follow the [installation guide](https://vagrant-libvirt.github.io/vagrant-libvirt/installation.html).
 
-If creating a box from a modified vagrant-libvirt machine, ensure that
-you have set the `config.ssh.insert_key = false` in the original Vagrantfile
-as otherwise Vagrant will replace the default connection key-pair that is
-required on first boot with one specific to the machine and prevent
-the default key from working on the exported result.
-```ruby
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  # this setting is only recommended if planning to export the
-  # resulting machine
-  config.ssh.insert_key = false
+## Running
 
-  config.vm.define :test_vm do |test_vm|
-    test_vm.vm.box = "fedora/32-cloud-base"
-  end
-end
-```
+Once installed, use vagrant-libvirt through vagrant.
 
-To create a vagrant-libvirt box from a qcow2 image, run `create_box.sh`
-(located in the tools directory):
+Locate a vagrant box containing the distribution you want to use at
+[Vagrant Cloud](https://app.vagrantup.com/boxes/search?provider=libvirt) and
+initialize.
 
 ```shell
-$ create_box.sh ubuntu14.qcow2
+vagrant init fedora/32-cloud-base
 ```
 
-You can also create a box by using [Packer](https://packer.io). Packer
-templates for use with vagrant-libvirt are available at
-https://github.com/jakobadam/packer-qemu-templates. After cloning that project
-you can build a vagrant-libvirt box by running:
+Then run following command:
 
 ```shell
-$ cd packer-qemu-templates
-$ packer build ubuntu-14.04-server-amd64-vagrant.json
+vagrant up --provider=libvirt
 ```
 
-## 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.
+Vagrant needs to know that we want to use Libvirt and not default VirtualBox.
+That's why there is `--provider=libvirt` option specified. Other way to tell
+Vagrant to use Libvirt provider is to setup environment variable
 
 ```shell
-$ export VAGRANT_LIBVIRT_VIRT_SYSPREP_OPTIONS="--delete /etc/hostname"
-$ vagrant package
+export VAGRANT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER=libvirt
 ```
 
-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:
-
+Afterwards to enter the VM simply use:
 ```shell
-$ export VAGRANT_LIBVIRT_VIRT_SYSPREP_OPERATIONS="defaults,-ssh-userdir,-ssh-hostkeys,-lvm-uuids"
-$ vagrant package
+vagrant ssh
 ```
 
-## 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!

+If you can't find a box that works as you need, have a look at our documentation
+on [creating boxes](https://vagrant-libvirt.github.io/vagrant-libvirt/boxes.html#creating-boxes)
