libguestfs image to provide system administration tools for virtual machines. This image is based on Fedora and configured to use the direct libguestfs backend by default.

Volumes: The container will need to be able to access the images that libguestfs should interact with. For ease of use, we suggest something like -v /:/host which will map the host root filesystem under /host. When using the direct libguestfs backend (which is the default), the container will also need access to /dev/kvm.

Documentation: Extensive documentation libguestfs is available upstream: https://libguestfs.org/guestfs-faq.1.html https://libguestfs.org/guestfs-recipes.1.html

Requirements: The host should support KVM and have /dev/kvm available.

Configuration: A default /etc/libguestfs-tools.conf configuration file is provided.
