# Parch Linux Cloud Images
Build and run Parch Linux virtual machine images for x86_64 QEMU/KVM.
## Images
| Image | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Cloud | Cloud-init enabled image for automated setup. |
| Basic | Image for interactive use. |
| Libvirt executor | Image with GitLab Runner and libvirt tools. |
Generated images and SHA-256 checksums are saved in `output/`
## Requirements
- Arch Linux x86_64 to build images
- QEMU/KVM and libvirt to run virtual machines
- Terraform to provision a VM with the included configuration
Install the build dependencies with:
```sh
make install-deps
```
## Build
Build all image variants:
```sh
make build
```
Build only the cloud image:
```sh
make build-cloud
```
Set a version explicitly if needed:
```sh
make build-cloud VERSION=20261018.1
```
## Run
Create an SSH key if needed, then build and start the cloud VM:
```sh
ssh-keygen -t ed25519
make build-cloud
make qemu-up
```
Connect to the VM:
```sh
make qemu-ip
make qemu-ssh
```
The VM is configured with Terraform in `terraform/`. Adjust its settings there as needed.
## Useful commands
```sh
make help # list available commands
make qemu-plan # preview VM changes
make qemu-down # remove the VM
make clean # remove generated files
```
