Our working project 4: "Facilitated and improved support for Fedora Server Edition VMs"

[Peter Boy]

As discussed at our last IRC meeting, I think we are most of the way there.

We have significantly expanded the documentation and created documentation for many possible alternatives to creating a VM, combining short explanations with copy&paste ready instructions. 
The current state is available at
https://docs.stg.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-server/server-virtualization...

We have a beta for a Fedora Server Edition VM image that actually resembles a Fedora Server Edition installation (in a VM) as our current installation media allows. Such a VM is much more comfortable, speeds up and simplifies the installation very much. A draft of a documentation, although not yet complete in all parts, is available at https://docs.stg.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-server/virtualization-vm-ins....  A draft description of how to use ImageFactory can be found at https://docs.stg.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-server/server-tutorials/.

The VM image is available for testing at https://pboy.fedorapeople.org/fedora-server-vm-full-35.qcow2.

Any comments and testing results please as answer to this email or as comment to https://pagure.io/fedora-server/issue/53

We should aim to publish the docs along with Fedora 36, currently planned for next week. So any review of the doc very much appreciated. The mv image should become part of F37.

Best

I just noticed, that our staging pages don’t get content updates. The last build was April 10.

So, the additions I made yesterday are not visible yet. I hope it will get fixed soon.

Our staging pages are back again. So, all new content is visible now.
