Libvirt Terraform

Because you can't be using VirtualBox on Linux in 2024.

• Read through the cloud-init.yaml
• The default username and sudo password is 'sahil'.
• You can generate the hashed password using the following command -

   echo -n 'password' | openssl passwd -6 -stdin

  Replace 'password' with your desired password.
• The output will give an error after terraform apply, possibly because the VM isn't completely setup yet, however running terraform output again should print the IP address of the VM.
