support creation machines for user (qemu:///session)

[jscotka]

Hi,
It seems that virt-deploy nowadays support only root (system) VMs
qemu:///system

I'm expecting that it should possible to also create/handle user (session) VMs:
via qemu:///session
My question is, is it possible now somehow (some config) or it is not supported anyway and is it possible to add this possibilities.
Thanks&Regards

Hi @jscotka, so the main idea was to give an unique solution for both testing single machines and clusters of machines. Cluster machines need at least one common network to communicate, and sadly as qemu session user you can't setup a common network and dhcp/dns there.

So although possible it's not a priority because it would solve only a specific use case (single test machine).

When you use the ssh/address commands do you need to be root, or are they working for users as well?

Hi,
ah, I've missed that, that there is trouble with networking, that for session there is used user network. So I'm unable to log in directly.
I'm not sure if it is possible to workaround that missing connection from host to guest issue.
So if you think that it is unable, please close the bug.

@jscotka you would be able to login from the host to the vm, but there won't be traffic between multiple vms (e.g. clusters, etc.).
