Kimchi naming restrictions - kimchi-project/kimchi GitHub Wiki

Due to restriction in Libvirt, Kimchi cannot accept all characters in the names of the entities. This is the list characteres not accepted currently:

• Guest

• "slashes" (/) are not allowed in the name

• Template

• "slashes" (/) are not allowed in the name

• Storage Pools

• "slashes" (/) are not allowed in the name

• Network

• "slashes" (/) are not allowed in the name

• 'quotes' (") are not allowed in the name

---

These restrictions happen because Libvirt creates files with the names provided. For network, the quotes restriction is related to a restriction in 'dnsmasq' program.
