 I am pspiagicw, AND YES THIS ENTIRE PROFILE IS INSIDE A CODE BLOCK.

 If you didn't already guess, I like terminals and systems programming.

 I work as a Compiler Engineer and that's where most of my passion pours into.

 Here are some projects I developed for personal use, you might find useful.

 (They should be pinned or recommended automatically).

qemantra's Issues

[ Features ] Custom firmware file for UEFI

Currenly qemantra uses const variable for firmware file (OVMF file) for UEFI mode.

Make it similar to other CLI progs

All my CLI progs should have similar feel and usage. Update qemantra to support that

[Bug] Verbose for Listing Images does nothing different

Expected

To list all the images with their important information like

Size
Format
Actual Size

Actual

Only lists all the images

Start most recent machine with `qemantra run`

Very helpful to run a frequently run VM. Just use qemantra run without any arguments to run the last run machine.

Start the indices for `qemantra list` from 1

Currently the indices start from 0 , which is a little bad. If started from 1 , it would make it a little polished.
Modify ListMachines function in pkg/runner/find.go. Very easy to do

Add configuration file or option to change location of .qemantra directory

My /home is on a small but fast nvme that lacks space to store VMs so I keep them on a much larger disk.

Having either a configuration file that would allow me to specify a storage location or asking on the first run would be useful.

For now a workaround of moving the .qemantra directory and symlinking from /home works nicely:

ln -s /data/VMs/qemantra .qemantra

I'm also not clear why the qemantra folder is hidden by default. I'd personally rather have it visible given the size of attached qemu disks can get large. But the symlink worked fine for making it more visible too.

This is a nice little project, the cli appearance and user experience are very good. Very similar project to Quickemu, although that has more automation for ISO download - should probably be added to your similar projects list ;)

qemantra edit should show existing values

It would be useful for the edit command to display existing values when editing given we often only want to change one.

Make KVM optional.

Should use KVM by default but should be made optional

[Feature] Add command to delete machines

Currently there is no way of deleting Virtual Machines.

The command would be called delete and get only one options --name.
It takes the name of the machine and delete the machine.

Add --disk and --external-disk options to run subcommand.

It requires editing the runner.go and optparser.go files to get it right.

Simple `rename` command

This will allow us to rename the virtual machine to something else. Should check for

If given machine exists
If the renamed machine should also exist.

[Bug] `rename` command does not rename file , just the json value

Currently the rename commnd does change the name of the machine , but
it does not change the file name. This means this sequence of events can be deadly

You create a machine with name "Machine 1" , it names the file machine_1.json
You rename that machine to "Machine 2" , now the file machine_1 has name Machine 2.
That means now "Machine 1" does not exist but "Machine 2" exists.
You create a machine with name "Machine 1".
You list number of machines , and it only lists "Machine 1" , "Machine 2" was overwritten!
