Hi all, Had a thought the other night, about a possible approach to having a "per user" libvirt preferences file.
How about, in the user's home directory, we have a single text file, say ".libvirt-prefs", structured something like this: [common] default_uri = qemu+ssh://somehost/system default_socket = /path/to/somewhere-socket default_session_type = system tls_client_cert = /path/to/somewhere.cert tls_client_key = /path/to/somewhere.key log_file=/path/to/logfile.log some_other_preference=value [gtk-vnc] tls_client_cert = /path/that/overrides/the/common/section/if/present/somefile.cert tls_client_key = /path/that/overrides/the/common/section/if/present/somefile.key [virt-viewer] more_overrides=/value/foo The suggestion being, that we have a [common] section with preferences that general libvirt client apps can use (ie virsh). But also allowing other libvirt client apps (ie virt-viewer), to store overrides to that. Just thinking it would be useful to have these things in one place, so sensible defaults can be set once (ie for TLS certs), and things will then "automagically" use them. + Justin -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
