I'm trying to provision kvm via libvirt using this plugin under normal user (I don't want to use root).

I have my normal user in group of /etc/group: wheel, libvirt (user in wheel can sudo without password)

I created default storage pool using this comment: simon3z/virt-deploy#8 (comment)

I sudo chmod 644 /var/libvirt/images and sudo chown -R myuser:myuser /var/lib/libvirt/images

Problem is that when I use example https://github.com/dmacvicar/terraform-provider-libvirt/tree/master/examples/v0.12/ubuntu.
terraform init and terraform apply to provison the vm, it create file under /var/lib/libvirt/images with root:root owner and give permission errror, then I have to re-do sudo chown -R myuser:myuser /var/lib/libvirt/images and re-run terraform apply to make it work.

How to avoid this kind of issue?

@tmpm697 you need to setup your user correctly, belonging to kvm/libvirt user. Search on the web should be enough doc on this issue.. You don't need root. Hope it helps

@MalloZup : As I mentioned in #1 post, myser already in libvirt and I've just added it in kvm group too, nothing has changed. If you have corrected them, please share your configs.

@tmpm697 https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Libvirt#Configuration. I don't have time to post my configuration. It is really the standard one. Please ask help on the question on the channel. Consider that this issue isn't not a terraform-provider-libvirt issue but on the libvirt itself. So you might just ask in any arch Linux forum or libvirt channels. I'm closing this as invalid
