I do have to rant a bit. What is the easiest option nowadays to create a dev infrastructure for a project that works with libvirt (or qemu), will create me a VM or two, and will not freeze upon launch?

Vagrant still seems to be the easiest, but I might be forced to move to Terraform/OpenTofu, if all I get is problems...

@paulos
i used vagrant like seven years ago, it had some random unexpected issues here and there, you may want to start with terraform now, or try pulumi https://dustinspecker.com/posts/ubuntu-vm-pulumi-libvirt/

@adamhavelka that seems nice, thank you! I'll check it.

Vagrant feels too brittle. Usually it breaks without warning, but it was still the easiest path. Well now it does not even boot the machine.
