Quick Start

Create and connect to your first VM in under two minutes.

Create a VM

vee create myvm

This creates an Ubuntu 24.04 LTS server VM using the default ubuntu-server template. vee downloads the cloud image on first use and caches it.

Start the VM

vee start myvm

vee boots the VM in the background and waits until it is ready to accept SSH connections. Progress is shown inline.

SSH in

vee ssh myvm

vee uses the keypair it generated at create time — no password needed.

Check status

vee status myvm

Shows the VM’s IP addresses, hostname, OS, and uptime (requires qemu-guest-agent installed inside the guest).

List all VMs

vee list

Stop the VM

vee stop myvm        # graceful ACPI shutdown

Delete the VM

vee delete myvm      # removes the VM and its disk images
