Instead of a hard-coded file name, find the ISO in install-iso/ by matching *Win*11*x64*.iso (case-insensitive), picking the highest version-sorted name when several match. The QCOW2 path is derived from the detected ISO name, falling back to an existing *Win*11*x64*.qcow2 in base-qcow2/ when the ISO is absent.

# vm-images
|
|
|
|
Shared, locally cached virtual-machine installation media and base images.
|
|
Downloaded ISO, QCOW2, IMG, VHD, and VHDX files are intentionally excluded
|
|
from Git.
|
|
|
|
## Download images
|
|
|
|
Download every supported image:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./download-images.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Download or check selected targets:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./download-images.sh debian13
|
|
./download-images.sh almalinux10
|
|
./download-images.sh fedora44
|
|
./download-images.sh virtio-win
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The Windows installation ISO is not downloaded because Microsoft's temporary
|
|
download URLs expire. Place it manually in `install-iso/`; the script finds it
|
|
automatically by matching `Win`, `11`, `x64` and `.iso` in that order
|
|
(`*Win*11*x64*.iso`, case-insensitive). If several files match, the highest
|
|
version-sorted name is used. Check which file was picked with
|
|
`./download-images.sh --print-path windows11 --iso`.
|
|
|
|
## Query image paths
|
|
|
|
The path interface prints one absolute path without downloading anything:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./download-images.sh --print-path debian13
|
|
./download-images.sh --print-path almalinux10
|
|
./download-images.sh --print-path fedora44
|
|
./download-images.sh --print-path virtio-win
|
|
./download-images.sh --print-path windows11
|
|
./download-images.sh --print-path windows11 --iso
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The Windows target prints the QCOW2 path by default. Add `--iso` to print its
|
|
manually supplied installation ISO path. The QCOW2 is named after the detected
|
|
ISO (for example `Win11_25H2_English_x64_v2.iso` →
|
|
`base-qcow2/Win11_25H2_English_x64_v2.qcow2`); if no ISO is present, an
|
|
existing `*Win*11*x64*.qcow2` in `base-qcow2/` is used instead.
|
|
|
|
Download URLs can be overridden with `DEBIAN_IMAGE_URL`, `ALMA_IMAGE_URL`,
|
|
`FEDORA_IMAGE_URL`, and `VIRTIO_WIN_ISO_URL`. The Fedora checksum can be
|
|
overridden with `FEDORA_IMAGE_SHA256` when using a custom image.
