Download from my NAS is slow. Click here to learn how to make win+virtio image by yourself.
Please wait for at least 3 minutes and try again. cloud-init is slow.
You can still create a VM in other way (like plain qemu), and put the disk image into data/vm/VM_NAME/disk.img. Everything will work perfectly.
Or you can also use an existing qcow2 image as base image. Put it into data/base/ and use it in init.settings.
