maint: The 'release' target builds a VM image.
* gnu/system/examples/vm-image.tmpl: New file. * Makefile.am (GUIXSD_VM_SYSTEMS, GUIXSD_VM_IMAGE_BASE, GUIXSD_VM_IMAGE_SIZE): New variables. (release): Add logic to build a VM image. (EXAMPLES): Add 'gnu/system/examples/vm-image.tmpl'. * doc/guix.texi (Running GuixSD in a VM, Installing GuixSD in a VM): Mention the pre-built VM image.

@subsection Running GuixSD in a Virtual Machine
|

|

@cindex virtual machine
|
||||
One way to run GuixSD in a virtual machine (VM) is to build a GuixSD
|
||||
virtual machine image using @command{guix system vm-image}
|
||||
(@pxref{Invoking guix system}). The returned image is in qcow2 format,
|
||||
which the @uref{http://qemu.org/, QEMU emulator} can efficiently use.
|
||||
To run GuixSD in a virtual machine (VM), one can either use the
|
||||
pre-built GuixSD VM image distributed at
|
||||
@indicateurl{ftp://alpha.gnu.org/guix/guixsd-vm-image-@value{VERSION}.@var{system}.tar.xz}
|
||||
, or build their own virtual machine image using @command{guix system
|
||||
vm-image} (@pxref{Invoking guix system}). The returned image is in
|
||||
qcow2 format, which the @uref{http://qemu.org/, QEMU emulator} can
|
||||
efficiently use.
|
||||
|
||||
@cindex QEMU
|
||||
To run the image in QEMU, copy it out of the store (@pxref{The Store})
|
||||
and give yourself permission to write to the copy. When invoking QEMU,
|
||||
you must choose a system emulator that is suitable for your hardware
|
||||
platform. Here is a minimal QEMU invocation that will boot the result
|
||||
of @command{guix system vm-image} on x86_64 hardware:

If you built your own image, you must copy it out of the store
