Enhancement request : kvm of a remote host #11

Open itwars opened 8 years ago

itwars commented 8 years ago

Hi Daniel,

Good work, anyway, what could really be coolest for me is to have kvm on a remote server. That way we'll be able to docker-machine --kvm-ip :)

BR, Vincent

Great suggestion!

The trickiest part will be refactoring the disk creation logic to upload the disk efficiently. I haven't used that part of the libvirt API, but from a quick perusal of the API docs, it looks like it may be possible.

Not sure when I'll be able to look into this, but PRs are welcome! :-)

This looks like it'd be easier with a --libvirt-uri or something then you could use qemu+ssh://user@host or even xen://host/

Would the image not be generated on the remote machine as with normal remote creation in libvirt/KVM? You'd only need to upload the Docker image.

Would the vagrant libvirt support provide a reference for how to implement this: https://github.com/vagrant-libvirt/vagrant-libvirt

If it was possible to use a remote KVM machine that would also open the door for Windows users to use docker-machine-kvm, right?
