Images

You can add new images editing the file nuvm.d/.config/images.json

Cloud Init

You can create your cloud-init scripts, based on cloud-init/default.
Create a folder with the name of your cloud-init, and copy the files:
user-data
meta-data
inside it, the nuvm replaces the string HOSTNAME, so don't change it.

VM Access

All vms run with nat, so to get access to then, the nuvm create a port forward.
When you create a vm especifie a port from your host to bind the vm ssh, when the
vm starts, you can access the vm like this

ssh nuvm@127.0.0.1 -p 2222

by default nuvm create a user nuvm with password secret, you can change it on your cloud-init script

Starting VM

nuvm vm create -o Linux_64 -i centos-7 -H system-test -p 2222 -C common
ssh nuvm@127.0.0.1 -p 2222 -i ~/.ssh/maquinas
