Hello everyone,

just a quick question.

I am trying to run a job to test a qemu image which is stored remotely. The image is packed in a tar.xz file with both the kernel and the file system.

So you mean that tar tzf would list: foo.img image initrd ?

is there a way to specify in the job description json file that before the deploy action it must open this tar.xz file and then use the kernel and filesystem?

You would need to use temporary hosting to unpack the elements. This is what we're using via the publishing API.
