+## FAQ
+
+### Libvirt vs. AWS
+1. There isn't a load balancer on libvirt. This means:
     1. We need to manually remap ports that the loadbalancer would
-    2. Only the first server (e.g. master) is actually used. If you want to reach another, you have to manually update the domain name.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+If following the above steps hasn't quite worked, please review this section for well known issues.
+
+### SELinux might prevent access to image files
+Configuring the storage pool to store images in a path incompatible with the SELinux policies (e.g. your home directory) might lead to the following errors:
+
+```
+Error: Error applying plan:
+
+1 error(s) occurred:
+
+* libvirt_domain.etcd: 1 error(s) occurred:
+
+* libvirt_domain.etcd: Error creating libvirt domain: virError(Code=1, Domain=10, Message='internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: 2018-07-30T22:52:54.865806Z qemu-kvm: -fw_cfg name=opt/com.coreos/config,file=/home/user/VirtualMachines/etcd.ign: can't load /home/user/VirtualMachines/etcd.ign')
+```
+
+[As described here][libvirt_selinux_issues] you can workaround by disabling SELinux, or store the images in a place well-known to work, e.g. by using the default pool.
+
+### Random domain creation errors due to libvirt race conditon
+Depending on your libvirt version you might encounter [a race condition][bugzilla_libvirt_race] leading to an error similar to:
+
+```
+* libvirt_domain.master.0: Error creating libvirt domain: virError(Code=43, Domain=19, Message='Network not found: no network with matching name 'tectonic'')
+```
+This is also being [tracked on the libvirt-terraform-provider][tfprovider_libvirt_race] but is likely not fixable on the client side, which is why you should upgrade libvirt to >=4.5 or a patched version, depending on your environment.
+
+### MacOS support currently broken
+* Support for libvirt on Mac OS [is currently broken and being worked on][brokenmacosissue201].
+
+### Error with firewall initialization on Arch Linux
+If you're on Arch Linux and get an error similar to
+
+```
+libvirt: “Failed to initialize a valid firewall backend”
+```
+
+or
+
+```
+error: Failed to start network default
+error: internal error: Failed to initialize a valid firewall backend
+```
+
+please check out [this thread on superuser][arch_firewall_superuser].
