Cole Robinson 17e39de021 virt-manager: Set SSH_ASKPASS_REQUIRE=force
openssh 8.4p1 released in Sep 2020 finally added a feature
to force using SSH_ASKPASS instead of prompting on the commandline
for password, if a password would be required.

https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1#SSH_ASKPASS_REQUIRE

Getting this behavior is basically what our whole fork dance is
about. Now we can do it with an environment variable

Let the user override it from the environment though, so there's
an escape hatch incase this causes unforseen problems

Virtual Machine Manager

virt-manager is a graphical tool for managing virtual machines via libvirt. Most usage is with QEMU/KVM virtual machines, but Xen and libvirt LXC containers are well supported. Common operations for any libvirt driver should work.

Several command line tools are also provided:

  • virt-install: Create new libvirt virtual machines
  • virt-clone: Duplicate existing libvirt virtual machines
  • virt-xml: Edit existing libvirt virtual machines/manipulate libvirt XML

For dependency info and installation instructions, see the INSTALL.md file. If you just want to quickly test the code from a git checkout, you can launch any of the commands like:

./virt-manager --debug ...
