From c31cb7d99a3137ad1991daba866c877a6909168e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Tantsur Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2020 10:49:41 +0200 Subject: Support file:/// images for the direct deploy Implemented via the same mechanism as for image_download_source=http. Forcing raw format (and thus streaming) is supported as well. Since we always re-calculate checksums for such images, the requirement on providing them via the API is lifted.
