12:59 <_hc[m]> hey all, thanks for buildbot! I'm in the process of converting F-Droid to use buildbot, then we can ditch our custom code.

12:59 <_hc[m]> we want each build to happen in a fresh libvirt VM, so I'm wondering how to best structure this in the buildbot setup

14:47 <glogan> https://docs.buildbot.net/latest/manual/configuration/workers-libvirt.html?

15:07 <_hc[m]> right I was looking at that. It seems that `base_image` will be copied to `hd_image` on each run. We have big base images, like 10GB. Is there a way to use snapshots or something like that?

17:20 <glogan> I'm not familiar with using libvirt directly, but https://docs.buildbot.net/latest/manual/configuration/workers-libvirt.html#configuring-master-to-use-libvirt-on-remote-server looks like it's got a hookscript where you can customize behaviour

17:20 <glogan> I'd imagine the same logic would work on a local loopback approach if you've only got one node.

17:21 <glogan> If that doesn't work it might be worth mailing the list. I'm just a user :)

17:37 <_hc[m]> thanks for your help :)
