Anka Virtualization 2.5.0
Previous tag deletion method has been replaced
Previously you had to issue anka delete {template}:{tag}
in order to remove a tag locally (for example if you needed to re-push it to the registry). This has been been replaced with anka delete {template} --tag {tag}
.
Multi-stage anka create
for MDM profile application
Some users find that they need to set the hw.serial
for a VM before they start the installation of macOS within a VM. We now allow users to issue anka create {VMNAME}
first, then anka modify
to set the hw.serial
, and then continue with the creation using anka create -a {PATH TO INSTALLER} {VMNAME}. . .
.
