) follows our naming conventions.fab run_builder:build-ubuntu-18.04-amd64
: This step starts your VM with QEMU KVM. On the first boot, Ubuntu Server will install automatically and reboot. You can monitor the progress by connecting to the VNC port you configured above.- Your Ubuntu Server guest is now running and can be SSH'd into on the host:port
you specified in step 1 using
$CWD/keys/build-login.pub
. For example:ssh -p 10014 [email protected] -i $CWD/keys/build-login
. fab -H 127.0.0.1:10014 setup_ubuntu_builder
