NAME

       qwdctl - Control qemu-web-desktop

SYNOPSIS

       qwdctl keyword

DESCRIPTION

       qwdctl  is  a  simple  script that downloads virtual machine images for use with qemu-web-
       desktop and/or refreshes the list of available images so that qemu-web-desktop can display
       it in its web interface.

       Each entry in the configuration file /etc/qemu-web-desktop/machines.conf spans on 3 lines:

       • [name.ext]

       • url=[URL to ISO, QCOW2, VDI, VMDK, RAW virtual machine disk, optional]

       • description=[description to be shown in the service page]

       Images  listed  in  the  configuration  file  without  a url= parameter are expected to be
       downloaded by hand and installed  into  /var/lib/qemu-web-desktop/machines  by  the  local
       administrator.  Then, just specify the [name.ext] and description.

SUBCOMMANDS

       download
              Downloads    virtual    machine    images    referenced   in   the   /etc/qemu-web-
              desktop/machines.conf file.  A refresh is automatically launched afterwards.

       refresh

              desktop/machines.conf   file.    The   generated  file  is  e.g. /var/lib/qemu-web-
              desktop/machines.html   which   should   be   linked   into    /usr/share/qemu-web-
              desktop/html/desktop/.
