virt-copy-in - Online in the Cloud

PROGRAM:

NAME

virt-copy-in - Copy files and directories into a virtual machine disk image.

SYNOPSIS

virt-copy-in -a disk.img file|dir [file|dir ...] /destination

virt-copy-in -d domain file|dir [file|dir ...] /destination

WARNING

Using "virt-copy-in" on live virtual machines, or concurrently with other disk editing
tools, can be dangerous, potentially causing disk corruption. The virtual machine must be
shut down before you use this command, and disk images must not be edited concurrently.

DESCRIPTION

"virt-copy-in" copies files and directories from the local disk into a virtual machine
disk image or named libvirt domain.

You can give one of more filenames and directories on the command line. Directories are
copied in recursively. The final parameter must be the destination directory in the disk
image which must be an absolute path starting with a / character.

EXAMPLES

Update /etc/resolv.conf in a guest:

virt-copy-in -d MyGuest resolv.conf /etc

Upload a home directory to a guest:

virt-copy-in -d MyGuest skel /home

JUST A SHELL SCRIPT WRAPPER AROUND GUESTFISH

This command is just a simple shell script wrapper around the guestfish(1) "copy-in"
command. For anything more complex than a trivial copy, you are probably better off using
guestfish directly.

OPTIONS

Since the shell script just passes options straight to guestfish, read guestfish(1) to see
the full list of options.
