# Quickly run Flatcar in QEMU

Pull this gist down. Edit the cloud-config if desired.
In one terminal:
```shell
make run
```

And then in another terminal:
```shell
make ssh
```

## make help

See `make help` for more info:
```shell
$ make help
run		start the flatcar qemu instance (downloading if needed)
dev		start the flatcar developer container instance (downloading if needed)
		Default variables and values:
			- SSH_KEY=/home/vbatts/.ssh/authorized_keys
			- HOST_NAME=flatcar-local.test.lan
			- MEMORY=4096
			- PORT=2223
			- CHANNEL=stable
			- BOARD=amd64-usr
			- VERSION=current
			- UEFI=false (either: true | false)
ssh		ssh into the running instance
ctr		build a docker image from the flatcar container (~ 900mb)
dev-ctr		build a docker image from the flatcar developer container (~ 2.5gb)
clean		basic cleanup of files
dist-clean	deletes all the image files (they'll have to download and extract again)
```

## Examples

variables you can pass to override
```shell
make run CHANNEL=alpha BOARD=arm64-usr
```

Development container
```shell
make dev CHANNEL=beta
```
