Scripts for making a VM on Fedora 31 to run hass.io
Here's various stuff I read online to get this orking, especially the first one:

You need a bunch of KVM stuff for this to work; something like this:
sudo dnf install @virtualization qemu-kvm virt-install virt-manager virt-viewer virt-builder libguestfs-tools iputils
You'll need to have bridge networking setup to use this the way I have it configured; if you just want to use NAT instead, remove all the network configuration / netplan stuff from hassio.run.sh and drop the --network option from build.sh and it'll probably just work; I just don't like NAT inside my network.
If you want to do bridge networking (i.e. VM networking without NAT), you can find docs online; for example https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/Virtualization_Guide/sect-Virtualization-Network_Configuration-Bridged_networking_with_libvirt.html
The scripts are specific to my setup; in particular they assume my domain of digitalkingdom.org and my local network of 192.168.123.0/24 and my username of rlpowell
Having said that, it's a pretty great start; if you fix the network and run these scripts, you'll get a VM that sends all its output to the console, has Docker installed and ready to go, and is just basically completely ready to run hass.io ; there's a command you have to run after you start the VM, but the script's output tells you what that is, too.
The VM will try to mount /srv/hassio/data to /usr/share/hassio, which if it works means that you can rebuild the VM at will and lose no data whatsoever. For this to work, /srv/hassio/data needs to be owned by qemu:qemu, and the SELinux context needs to be svirt_image_t.
