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 re‐
       freshes the list of available images so that qemu-web-desktop can display it in its web interface.

       Supported virtual machine formats are: ISO, QCOW2, VDI, VMDK, RAW, VHD/VHDX, QED

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

       • [name.ext]

       • url=[URL to 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.
