Hi Máirín, For several years now I've been using VMs with backing files to do what you're trying to achieve. It's basically what Dusty Mabe describes in the last paragraph of this article: https://dustymabe.com/2015/01/11/qemu-img-backing-files-a-poor-mans-snapshotrollback/ Using virt-manager, I set up my base VM exactly the way I want it. Next, I use qemu-img to create as many additional VMs as I need for each project. The disk space they consume is just their delta from the base image. The new files can then be imported into virt-manager and used as regular images, as long as the base image remains unchanged. Use of the terminal is only required when making the snapshots: qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o backing_file=base_env.img test01.img It's not as involved or elegant as using vagrant and ansible, but it's simple and if you are already familiar with virt-manager, you do not need to get acquainted with anything else.
