+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1989514 +++ When the user / application provides a pre-created appliance through the recently introduced libguestfs-noappliance mechanism, it would be nice if there was a way to drop a configuration file somewhere at the same time which would result in libguestfs automatically using that appliance instead of attempting to build one dynamically unless LIBGUESTFS_PATH is specified as part of the environment. Relevant bits from the original discussion below. --- Additional comment from Andrea Bolognani on 2021-08-12 15:52:47 CEST --- Also, is there a way to set the equivalent of LIBGUESTFS_PATH through a configuration file instead of the environment? That would allow the RPM package containing a fixed appliance to also configure libguestfs so that it uses it at the same time. --- Additional comment from Richard W.M.

Moving this upstream as we're not likely to implement this in RHEL 9.0.
This product has been discontinued or is no longer tracked in Red Hat Bugzilla.
Reopening because Virtualization Tools has not been discontinued.
