This should work on most Linux systems and assumes you have an SSH key set up for ssh-agent.

First download the Flatcar QEMU image and the helper script to start it with QEMU but don't run it yet.

AMD64:
```shell
wget https://stable.release.flatcar-linux.net/amd64-usr/current/flatcar_production_qemu.sh
chmod +x flatcar_production_qemu.sh
wget https://stable.release.flatcar-linux.net/amd64-usr/current/flatcar_production_qemu_image.img
```

ARM64:
```shell
wget https://alpha.release.flatcar-linux.net/arm64-usr/current/flatcar_production_qemu_uefi.sh
chmod +x flatcar_production_qemu_uefi.sh
wget https://alpha.release.flatcar-linux.net/arm64-usr/current/flatcar_production_qemu_uefi_image.img

For Ignition configurations to be recognized we have to make sure that we always boot an unmodified fresh image because Ignition only runs on first boot.
Therefore, before trying to use an Ignition config we will always discard the image modifications by using a fresh copy.
You can already boot the image with `./flatcar_production_qemu.sh` and have a look around in the OS through the QEMU VGA console - you can close the QEMU window or stop the script with `Ctrl-C`.
