Examples

Copy/paste fragments for user-owned setup scripts. They are not DVM runtime code. Review and adapt before use.

All examples assume the Fedora guest with dnf5. They run during dvm sync, as the Lima login user with sudo available. DVM prepends set -Eeuo pipefail and exports these variables (see the config reference):

DVM_NAME DVM_VM DVM_LIMA_NAME DVM_USER DVM_CODE_DIR DVM_PORTS DVM_SUBUID_COUNT DVM_SUBGID_COUNT

Run a command as the dev user, not root: sudo -u "$DVM_USER" -H ....
