## Good practices?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Here is a list of good practices forced by `qemush`.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **Processes running as user `qemu`**: members of group `qemu` can manage
|
|
||||||
the same virtual machines
|
|
||||||
- **Modularization**: `qemush` launching scripts are intended to be
|
|
||||||
stackable to reuse common `qemu` parameters in all virtual machines
|
|
||||||
needing them
|
|
||||||
- **Process supervision**: `qemush` uses `screen` to supervise processes
|
|
||||||
and keep track of them
|
|
||||||
- **Copy-on-write**: images are formatted using `qcow2` to use less space
|
|
||||||
on disk

### Extra: add `first-free-port` in `PATH`
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
`first-free-port` is a small C program designed accordingly to the Unix
|
|
||||||
philosophy to show in `stdout` the first free (not listening) TCP port
|
|
||||||
after `argv[1]`, or `argv[1]` if it is free. You can compile it and add
|
|
||||||
it to your `PATH` if you need to allocate ports to protocols like SPICE in
|
|
||||||
your launching scripts (example in `qemu/bin/*-spice`). Its source is in
|
|
||||||
`src` folder of this repository.
