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.
