Getting started with building your images

Getting started is as simple as cloning this repository on your machine. You can do so with:

git clone https://github.com/GreenUkr/docker-qemu-rpi.git

After cloning the repository, you can move to the next step and start configuration. All the necessary files are located in the rpi3 directory, so don't forget to change the directory:

cd rpi3

Regarding Qcow2 image building

Unfortunately, all my attempts to start the VM with an image converted to qcow2 have failed. The VM fails to start after the filesystem grows to the full size of the SD image. If you have insights or solutions to this issue, please feel free to contribute or share your findings.
