cubic create

$ cubic create --help
Create a VM instance

This command only creates the VM instance. Use cubic start <instance> to power
it on and cubic ssh <instance> to connect to it.

Examples:

  Create a VM instance with 8 vCPUs, 10G of RAM, 200G of storage:
  $ cubic create example1 --cpus 8 --memory 10G --disk 200G -i debian:trixie

  Create a VM instance and forward the instance's HTTP port to the host port 8000:
  $ cubic create example2 --port 8000:80 -i ubuntu

  Create a VM instance and forward the instance's DNS port to the host port 5353:
  $ cubic create example3 --port 5353:53/udp -i ubuntu

  Create a VM instance with multiple port forwarding rules:
  $ cubic create example4 -p 8000:80/tcp -p 5353:53/udp -i ubuntu:latest

  Create a VM instance and install Vim:
  $ cubic create example5 -e "sudo apt install -y vim" -i ubuntu

  Create a VM instance without network access:
  $ cubic create example6 --isolate -i ubuntu

  Create a VM instance from a template (command line arguments override the template):
  $ cubic create example7 --template ./my-template.toml

  Create a VM instance with network access from a template that isolates it:
  $ cubic create example8 --template ./my-template.toml --no-isolate

  Every distribution has the tags latest and stable. The tag latest is the
  newest release and the tag stable is the newest long term release. A plain
  name is a shortcut for stable, so --image ubuntu gives you the last LTS.
