utmd

Disposable VM sandbox manager for UTM on macOS.

Clone base templates into isolated development environments prefixed with utmd-. Delete all sandboxes with a single command while leaving personal VMs untouched.

Prerequisites

• macOS with UTM Desktop Application installed
• Base VM templates named [t]-linux and [t]-macos in UTM

Usage

utmd clone linux              # Clone from [t]-linux (name: utmd-linux-<hash>)
utmd clone macos              # Clone from [t]-macos (name: utmd-macos-<hash>)
utmd clone linux sandbox1     # Clone with custom name (becomes utmd-sandbox1)

utmd delete-all               # Delete all VMs prefixed with "utmd-"

List all VMs in UTM:

utmctl list

Build from Source

git clone https://github.com/tappunk/utmd.git
cd utmd

On first run, utmd checks for utmctl and offers to create a symlink if it is not found.
