# Debian vm auto setup

Install a debian headless virtual-machine from scratch with netboot in a QEMU environment

## requirements

- QEMU + KVM
- tmux
- bash
- python3 (for http server)
- telnet or netcat (to transmit logs)

## Getting started

```
./setup_workspace.sh
cd machines/machine01.local/
./install_machine.sh
```

then on a client, connect to ssh via the port forwarding (in user mode network)
```
ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -p 42022 root@localhost
```

## troubleshooting

kill qemu: pkill -f qemu-system-x86_64

## TODO

- find a better way to kill qemu

## preseed file

Change this line to add initial packages.

`d-i pkgsel/include string binfmt-support debian-keyring openssh-server qemu-user-static`
