1. Prepare the guest template

Run `bin/cloneprep` on the template guest machine to change something.


2. Clone the template guest

sudo virt-clone --original=template1 --name=guest01 --file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/guest01.img

3. Start the guest

sudo virsh create /etc/libvirt/qemu/guest01.xml

4. Configure it

bin/cloneconf <hostname>
