3.2.4. Connect to the running VM
Once the virtual machine creation is completed, you can connect to it using SSH:
$ uvt-kvm ssh secondtest --insecure
For the time being, the --insecure is required, so use this mechanism to connect to your VM only if you completely trust your network infrastructure.
You can also connect to your VM using a regular SSH session using the IP address of the VM. The address can be queried using the following command:
$ uvt-kvm ip secondtest 192.168.122.199
$ ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa [email protected]
The authenticity of host '192.168.122.199 (192.168.122.199)' can't be established. ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:8oxaztRWzTMtv8SC9LYyjuqBu79Z9JP8bUGh6G8R8cw.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
