Build and manage highly optimized desktop virtual machines quickly. Note: Virtual machine must be in stopped state when working with snapshots.

Create and run a virtual machine from a configuration file

Do not commit any changes to disk/snapshot but write any changes to temporary files

quickemu --status-quo --vm path/to/file.confIdentify

Start the virtual machine in full-screen mode (<Ctrl Alt f> to exit) and select the display backend (sdl by default)

quickemu --fullscreen --display sdl --vm path/to/file.confIdentify

Select a virtual audio device to emulate and create a desktop shortcut

quickemu --sound-card intel-hda --shortcut --vm path/to/file.confIdentify

Create/restore/delete a snapshot

quickemu --snapshot create tag --vm path/to/file.confIdentify

List available snapshots

quickemu --snapshot info --vm path/to/file.confIdentify

Delete the entire virtual machine and its configuration

quickemu --delete-vm --vm path/to/file.confIdentify

Delete the virtual machine's disk image and EFI variables

quickemu --delete-disk --vm path/to/file.confIdentify
