Libvirt KVM fixed IP address


When playing with KVM LibVirt Vms, I often need them to have fixed IP address.
Ironically, I enjoy fixing them with DHCP.
Here is the “default” configuration I use in order to fix them.
Redefining the "default" network is done with:

virsh --connect qemu:///system net-destroy default
virsh --connect qemu:///system net-undefine default
virsh --connect qemu:///system net-define /tmp/network.xml
virsh --connect qemu:///system net-start default

Feel free to get inspiration:
<network>

npm run build base-href

Using NPM to specify base-href When building an Angular application, people usually use "ng" and pass arguments to that invocation. Typically, when wanting to hard code "base-href" in "index.html", one will issue: ng build --base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo' I used to build my angular apps through Bamboo or Jenkins and they have a "npm" plugin. I got the habit to build the application with "npm run build" before deploying it. But the development team once asked me to set the "--base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo'" parameter. npm run build --base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo did not set the base href in indext.html After looking for a while, I found https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/13560 where it says: You need to use −− to pass arguments to npm scripts. This did the job! The command to issue is then: npm run build -- --base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo&

VMWare Keyboard Latency

Workstation VM UI lag when typing When using a VMWare Workstation VM, I noticed there is a latency when typing in the keyboard and the real appearance of the typed character. I searched and found: Noticeable typing lag in Linux VM terminals since v16.2 upgrade on Linux host To make it short, what solved it for me: Disable 3D acceleration in the VM setting .
