The former libguestfs.org website was running on an old server in a cellar with "Beware of the Leopard" on the door. The server was overdue for retirement and is about to be decommissioned. I have moved and split up the hosting as follows: * The main website http://libguestfs.org is on a temporary server. The medium term plan is to move it to Openshift, but I've been having a

I have made available a Python package for the current stable branch version of libguestfs: http://libguestfs.org/download/python/ If you need to use libguestfs from Python this way, you can do so like this: pip install http://libguestfs.org/download/python/guestfs-1.32.6.tar.gz A few caveats: - You should probably not use these packages. Use the python-libguestfs package provided by

It's a serious design

You can email libguestfs@redhat.com (no need to subscribe). The instructions for compiling

21:51 < foxx> hello! does anyone know if libguestfs supports any sort of COW (copy on write) functionality? for example, if i mount an image which is RO, can i make it write any changes out to a higher dir (such as how overlayfs/aufs works) The answer is yes. Create a qcow2 overlay on top of your image before starting: qemu-img

Just a friendly reminder that RHEL 7.4 preview packages of libguestfs and virt-v2v are available.
