The bits I got confused on were:


"Instead of Cockpit you could use an elaborate invocation of virsh"

"It seems pretty absurd to use a complete VM binary from a third party source or to rely on an external binary image.

"Overall, this is not a suitable solution."'



Also, your magazine link doesn't allow me to "preview drafts."



Thanks, sorry for misunderstanding you.

Sorry, my wording must be misleading (I am not a native speaker). 

Cockpit is (together with ssh / cli) the essential tool for managing Fedora Server. And I do not share the opinion of some "hardcore administrators" that Cockpit is superfluous bells and whistles and should not be installed by default. And I just finished a Fedora Magazine article about it (#151 "Reconfiguring virtual machines with Cockpit“ currently in review phase, preview https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=33836&preview=true&preview_id=33836&preview_nonce=dd0dd407cb&_thumbnail_id=35198 just in case you want to comment on it pre-publication)

My message is, we need a proper virtual disk image we can import easily and quickly, most simply via Cockpit „Import VM" (or via virsh for "hardcore admins"). The currently available images do not fit the bill for a Fedora Server Edition virtual duplum [1].


Perhaps you can give me a hint as to which of my formulations is so very misleading.



Thanks
Peter
