for this. First, you can use Vagrant, and the provided Vagrant images. They're basically made for this case. Or, second, you can use the "testcloud" tool to launch the local https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Local_Test_Cloud
On the point of expectations though, we might want to highlight some of the requirements a bit more clearly on the download page.
Hmmm, yeah -- current wording on the Cloud Base Image download page is "The images on this page are Fedora Cloud images for creating general purpose virtual machines (VMs)." However, that's not really accurate.
Maybe like:
"Fedora Cloud Base images are tailored for running in cloud environments. Launch one and install Fedora packages to build your cloud computing solution. If you are interested in running this on a laptop, see the Vagrant images below, or check out [testcloud]."
Why not provide a image that has root or non-root user with std. passwd ? whats the problem with that ?
Why add the vagrant dep at all ? I understand Vagrant is widely used but for those who don't want to use, a simple ready-to-consume image would help better. It could also help in attracting more attention / crowd :)
Also since cloud image is the most downloaded one, how about providing a .iso file with pre-loaded user/passwd, so that people willing to use cloud-image in non-cloud env (local, virt-mgr etc) can use the iso file as the cloud-init data source ?
Last but not the least, pls provide a link on getfedora.org for downloading n-1, n-2 fedora cloud images, the last time i had a need, had to google and eventaully had to download it from someone's blog/dropbox site
thanx, deepak
