## Step 1:

# Add /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/10.virt.rules with the following contents.

polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
  polkit.log("action=" + action);
  polkit.log("subject=" + subject);
  var now = new Date();
  polkit.log("now=" + now)
  if ((action.id == "org.libvirt.unix.manage"
        || action.id == "org.libvirt.unix.monitor")
      && subject.isInGroup("virt")) {
    return polkit.Result.YES;
  }
  return null;
});

$ sudo systemctl restart polkit.service

$ sudo groupadd virt
$ sudo usermod -a -G virt ~~username~~

# logout/login !!!!

## Step 2:

# install vagrant
# pacman -S vagrant

## step 3: install vagrant libvirt plugin (this is somewhat troublesome in arch)

# install vagrant-libvirt plugin (add libvirt support)
$ sudo mv /opt/vagrant/embedded/lib/libcurl.so{.backup,}
$ sudo mv /opt/vagrant/embedded/lib/libcurl.so.4{.backup,}
$ sudo mv /opt/vagrant/embedded/lib/libcurl.so.4.3.0{.backup,}
$ sudo mv /opt/vagrant/embedded/lib/pkgconfig/libcurl.pc{.backup,}

$ CONFIGURE_ARGS="with-libvirt-include=/usr/include/libvirt with-libvirt-lib=/usr/lib" vagrant plugin install vagrant-libvirt

$ sudo mv /opt/vagrant/embedded/lib/libcurl.so{.backup,}
$ sudo mv /opt/vagrant/embedded/lib/libcurl.so.4{.backup,}
$ sudo mv /opt/vagrant/embedded/lib/libcurl.so.4.3.0{.backup,}
$ sudo mv /opt/vagrant/embedded/lib/pkgconfig/libcurl.pc{.backup,}

## step 4:

# install vagrant-mutate plugin (convert to libvirt)
$ vagrant install vagrant-mutate

## step 5:

# install vagrant-rekey-ssh (secure ssh key)
$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-rekey-ssh


#### You're Done know ###







## for fun and test:

# Download box fedora has a nice libvirt image
$ vagrant box add jimmidyson/fedora21-atomic --provider libvirt

# if necessary mutate to libvirt
$ vagrant mutate boxname libvirt

# create dir
$ mkdir ~/vagrant/fedora
$ cd ~/vagrant/fedora
$ vagrant init jimmidyson/fedora21-atomic
$ vagrant up
$ vagrant ssh
$ # passwd root
$ # systemctl enable cockpit;systemctl start cockpit

# now you can use your browser and login with root user
# https://<ip>:9090

# have fun
