      1 # QEMU
      2 
      3 ## Usage
      4 
      5 ### Create disk-image
      6 
      7 Create a disk image:
      8 
      9 `qemu-img create -f qcow2 debian.qcow 20G`
     10 
     11 Boot with:
     12 
     13 `qemu-system-x86_64 -hda debian.qcow -cdrom {ISO_PATH} -boot d -m 4096`
     14 
     15 ### Run disk image 
     16 
     17 Running a qemu disk image:
     18 
     19 `qemu-system-x86_64 {image}`
     20 
     21 Specify host CPU model, 4 cores, 4G ram:
     22 
     23 `qemu-system-x86_64 debian.qcow -cpu host -enable-kvm -smp 4 -m 4G`
     24 
     25 NOTE: Get your mouse out with ctrl+alt+g. Apparently this is only for the GTK version, the other uses ctrl+alt on the left side for both. 
     26 
     27 ### SSH Access
     28 
     29 By default, the VM can SSH **out** to any host on the local network (by private IP), but you can't SSH into the VM.
     30 
     31 ### Backups
     32 
     33 Just copy the disk image.
