Support for sharing files with the host system #91

Closed grigorye closed 1 year ago

grigorye commented 1 year ago

If I get it correctly, tart has options (--disk, --dir) for running VM with files shared/defined by the host system. I can't find anything like that in orchard. I'm looking into it because I need to supply some non-trivial amount of data (basically an executable) into VM startup script (so that the executable would survive restart of VM). It could also be useful for caching the VM-generated data, between the restarts... Any plans for that? Any hints?

Update: as a workaround for sharing files with startup script, I can run python3 -m http.server on host and curl them from VM, but that's a bit cumbersome.

I guess we can add a similar --dir option for VMs. It will user's responsibility to clean up the data if needed from hosts though. @edigaryev what do you think?
