As of today creating libvirt lxc system container root file system is a pain. Docker's fun came with its image sharing idea... why couldn't we do the same for libvirt containers? I will expose here is an attempt at this.
To achieve such a goal we need:
SUSE Hackweek 15 just finished. This time I wanted to come up with a tool and hardware to control my window shutters. The good thing is that they are already motorized and have wired command. Thus I could easily hack a GPIO-based solution.
Obviously I bought some hardware in advance ...
I know there are already tons of media center uses of raspberry pi, so is different with this one? I wanted to replace the old mini CD player by something I could easily hack. Thus my requirements were:
This year, I'll manage to write a wrap up post on the Google Summer of Code at LibreOffice. On the 12 students initially selected, 10 hacked on cool things for our favorite office suite.
The completed projects are:
LibreOffice's Universal Network ...
These days, I wanted to build some SUSE documentation, but daps drags quite a few dependencies. Thus I decided to use that occasion to move it to a sandbox. The idea is very similar to what was detailled in my post on containers for GUI apps, but will be made ...
I recently tried to get the openFATE client working in a container. I know it may sound stupid, but I didn't want to pollute my Gnome machine with KDE libraries (end of troll) and wanted to use this to seriously play with application containers. My constraints were:
This week was hackweek 12 at SUSE. I decided to do whatever was needed to get the open build service (aka OBS) able to create virt-builder images repositories. OBS is already able to create VM images using kiwi, but it is not able to generate the signed index file and ...
Last week was hackweek 11 at SUSE. I chose to work on starting an Android client application for libvirt. I know there is already something like this on the Google play, but it's closed source and seems unmaintained... and anyway it helped me dive in Android NDK and native ...
LibreOffice CMIS server connection feature suffered a severe disease since the begining: it was not able to connect to servers using HTTPS. First a workaround was added for invalid certificates, but the problem also existed for valid ones as described by fdo#72277.
After several months of inactivity, I finally ...
I am now working on libvirt and the tools gravitating around it for almost a year and still haven't blogged about anything related to it. As a first post on virtualization, I'll tell you how to migrate your LXC container to use the libvirt goodness.
In order to ...
