​
Custom images (snapshots)

Snapshot any VM into a reusable image:
1

Create a VM and set it up

machine0 new template-vm
machine0 ssh template-vm
# Install your software, configure the environment
2

Snapshot it

machine0 images new template-vm my-image -d "My custom base image"
The VM is stopped automatically before snapshotting.
3

Create VMs from the image

machine0 new clone-1 --image my-image
machine0 new clone-2 --image my-image
Set a custom image as your default so all new VMs use it: 
machine0 config set DEFAULT_VM_IMAGE=my-image

​
Managing images

List all images: 
machine0 images ls
Get image details: 
machine0 images get my-image
Delete an image: 
machine0 images rm my-image
