Creating a Metasploitable VM Lab in Qubes 4.1

i want to setup Metasploitable VM as a lab in Qubes to practice on but im having some trouble. Metasploitable comes as a . vmdk I read this page, it instructs users to convert to .raw (where it specified win10, i have replaced with Metaspilotable) qemu-img convert -O raw *.vmdk Metasploitable.raw Successful. The documentation then instructs the user to transfer the raw file to dom0 and seems to save it as a .img qvm-run --pass-io name-of-vm 'cat /home/user/Metasploitable.raw' > /home/admin…

PS: there has been a request by @yann (qvm-create doc improvements by ydirson · Pull Request #185 · QubesOS/qubes-core-admin-client · GitHub) to clearify that requirement in the documentation… however, from my point of view it would make much more sense to get the flaw in qvm-create fixed.
