NAME
vmexec-pull - Pull an image without running a virtual machine

SYNOPSIS
vmexec pull [--prepare] [--disable-kvm] [-m|--memory] [--show-vm-window] [-s|--ssh-timeout] [-h|--help] <OS_TYPE>

DESCRIPTION
Pull an image without running a virtual machine

OPTIONS

--prepare
    Additionally prepare the image so that the first run is fast This extracts the kernel, creates the overlay image and performs the warmup boot that would otherwise happen on the first run.

--disable-kvm
    Run the warmup virtual machine with TCG instead of KVM This would be mostly useful in environments where KVM is not available. It will be a lot slower but might be acceptable in some contexts.

-m, --memory <MEMORY>
    Memory limit for the warmup virtual machine in GBs Must be an integer of at least 1. If not provided, all available host memory is used.

--show-vm-window
    Show a window with the warmup virtual machine running in it This is mostly useful for debugging boot failures.

-s, --ssh-timeout <SSH_TIMEOUT> [default: 20]
    SSH connection timeout during warmup Try for this long (in seconds) to connect to the virtual machine's SSH server.

-h, --help
    Print help (see a summary with '-h')

<OS_TYPE>
    The operating system image to pull
    Possible values:

    •   archlinux
