This is for VM prep for cloning
Prep Install the base OS. Install all required apps * openssh-server Install all required updates
Shutdown guest * virsh shotdown $guest-vm
On the VM Host server make sure you have libgustsfs-tools
apt list --installed |grep -i libguestfs-tools
if its not there, install it.
sudo apt install libguestfs-tools
This step strips stuff that must be unique per VM (machine-id, SSH keys, etc.) from the template.
sudo virt-sysprep -d $guest-vm \
--operations machine-id,ssh-hostkeys,udev-persistent-net,logfiles,tmp-files
Your output should be similiar to the following:
sudo virt-sysprep -d Debian-Base --operations machine-id,ssh-hostkeys,udev-persistent-net,logfiles,tmp-files

The base is now ready to go.
