deploy a machine (with qcow2 image) on KVM automatically via Terraform - terraform

Question

I am new to terraform and i am trying to deploy a machine (with qcow2 image) on KVM automatically via Terraform.
i found this tf file:
provider "libvirt" {
uri = "qemu:///system"
}
#provider "libvirt" {
# alias = "server2"
# uri = "qemu+ssh://root#192.168.100.10/system"
#}
resource "libvirt_volume" "centos7-qcow2" {
name = "centos7.qcow2"
pool = "default"
source = "https://cloud.centos.org/centos/7/images/CentOS-7-x86_64-GenericCloud.qcow2"
#source = "./CentOS-7-x86_64-GenericCloud.qcow2"
format = "qcow2"
}
# Define KVM domain to create
resource "libvirt_domain" "db1" {
name = "db1"
memory = "1024"
vcpu = 1
network_interface {
network_name = "default"
}
disk {
volume_id = "${libvirt_volume.centos7-qcow2.id}"
}
console {
type = "pty"
target_type = "serial"
target_port = "0"
}
graphics {
type = "spice"
listen_type = "address"
autoport = true
}
}
my questions are:
(source) the path of my qcow file has to be localy on my computer ?
I have a KVM machine ip that i connected it remotely by its ip. where should i put this ip in this tf file?
when i did it manually, i run "virt manager", do i need to write it here anywhere?
thank's a lot.

No. It can be https also.
Do you mean a KVM host that VMs will be created ? Then you need to configure remote kvm access on that host and in the uri section of provider block you need to write its ip.
uri = "qemu+ssh://username#IP_OF_HOST/system"
You dont need virt-manager when you use terraform. You should use terraform resources for managing VM.
