Is your question not already answered in the FAQ?

• I made sure the question is not listed in the FAQ.

Is this a general question and not a technical issue?

In theory yes, if you replace the data.img file with a disk image of another VM.

But in practice no, because it will only work if that VM already has all the needed drivers installed (for the Virtio SCSI disk, etc.).

I know that some people succeeded to do it with some effort, but I will not recommend it.

@kroese but he can try install system and then copy data.img of created vm and further use it for new containers right?

@Krzysztof318 Yes.. But I think he means import from VMWare/VirtualBox or other software like that.
