Only ubuntu images are supported?

[bugz8unny69]

Hello,

My impression is that multipass supports only Ubuntu images?

Cheers

Using the snap, on Linux you can pass arbitrary URLs to launch, provided the images are in a format qemu can consume and the image has cloud-init. We've successfully launched Fedora and Debian cloud images.

We're considering how to integrate that into the tool, but Ubuntu will remain the focus.

I'll close this issue, please reopen if you think this is not exhausted.

On macOS it appears only built-in Ubuntu images are supported, and not arbitrary images:

$ multipass launch -n fed https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/31/Cloud/x86_64/images/Fedora-Cloud-Base-31-1.9.x86_64.raw.xz
launch failed: http and file based images are not supported

Hi @HLFH Do you know if is it possible to run another binary image like fedora?

PD: After checking the other threads it seems feasible : #1260 (comment)
