How to use bridged network?

[karmab]

hello,
when you dont specify a network, kcli defaults to default but you can specify your own settings.

so you can either define a profile or a plan and create a file for them.

• profiles are used for creating vms with similar settings
• plans are used to create several vms at once ( and additional objects like networks, containers,...)

in both cases, a basic yaml could look like this ( note how i indicate your bridged network, but it works the same for any nat network you have or create with kcli network of within a plan)

centos:
 template: CentOS-7-x86_64-GenericCloud.qcow2
 numcpus: 2
 disks:
  - size: 10
 nets:
  - name: enp3s0

put this in ~/.kcli/profiles.yml and you can then define vms with

kcli vm -p centos your_vm

or you can save this file anywhere and use this as a plan with

kcli plan -f your_file.yml

( the vm would be called centos in this case, but you can adjust the name in the file or run

kcli plan -f your_file.yml -P name=your_vm

to be complete, you can also treat this file as a profile (since the syntax for profiles and plans is similar), so you can run

kcli vm -p your_file.xml your_vm
