matriochqa

A csv & markdown front end for QEMU

Requirements

• MS-Windows, for the moment - although it should work on Linux as well.
• Qt 5.12, no way to escape
• Hugo to render the server status pages into a browser.
• Hugo them Book. matriochqa may work with other themes, but I tested only this one.
• QEMU of course

In addition, the following dependencies are linked as git submodules:

• Fast C++ CSV Parser, a nice templated CSV parsing library

Build

As usual:

qmake matriochqa.pro
make

Configure

Typical configuration file:

[%General]
base_vm_dir=C:/mqa/tmp
instance_config=C:/mqa/etc/vm.csv
new_instances_start_immediatly=true

[qemu]
base_qemu_dir=C:/Program Files/qemu
exec\x86_64=qemu-system-x86_64.exe

[markdown]
hugo_content_dir=C:/mqa/hugo/content
hugo_port=1313
mq_root=/
mq_instances_path=/docs/
content_console_depth=100
content_logbook_depth=30

[command_server]
address=127.0.0.1
port=4455

Software will look for matriochqa.ini in current directory. Path to configuration file can be overloaded with command line option -c <path_to_ini>.

Status

NOT FUNCTIONAL, WORKING ON IT !
