We are using minikube vms, which require adding the user to to

We use `virsh -c qemu:///system` for debugging these vms or related libvirt
networks.
Using virsh without specifying the '-c' argument is a common mistake that
leads to
trouble, for example creating the libvirt default network incorrectly.
I wonder if it is possible to configure virsh so it uses -c qemu:///system
by default?
The $HOME/.config/libvirt/libvirt.conf client config file can contain
uri_default = "qemu:///system"
Or you can set per shell with
export LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI=qemu:///system
Or you can set it just for virsh with
export VIRSH_DEFAULT_CONNECT_URI=qemu:///system
See:
